The Albany Graphite Project
Project at a Glance
Deposit Type
Igneous-hosted, fluid-derived graphite deposit.
Ownership
100% owned by Albany Graphite Corp. (a wholly owned subsidiary of Zentek Ltd.).
Jurisdiction
Northern Ontario, Canada.
Project Stage
Advanced exploration
Early development.
Resource & Purity
Defined mineral resource with independent bench-scale testing demonstrating ultra-high purity potential (5N / 99.999%+) through independent testwork.
What We’re Doing
Advancing technical work to confirm performance for priority end uses.
Progressing studies to de-risk development and processing pathways.
Establishing strategic partnerships and funding opportunities.
Setting the standard for a community-first partnership with Constance Lake First Nation.
Our Approach
Disciplined execution for long-term value.
Geology & Resource
The deposit’s igneous origin results in a unique graphite structure with implications for purity and processing efficiency.

Proven Conceptual Foundation
Earlier engineering and economic studies demonstrated strong conceptual project potential based on prior mineral resources.
2
Updated, Data‑Driven Validation
Current work is focused on updating, validating, and derisking the project using the latest mineral resource data and testwork results.
3
Phased Advancement Strategy
The project is being advanced through a disciplined, phased derisking approach, integrating testwork validation, engineering studies, and market engagement.
Roadmap
Project Milestones
Our focus will be on strengthening the project’s economics, confirming environmental readiness, understanding market conditions, and advancing technical confidence. Together, these milestones support informed planning and responsible development.
New Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA)
The updated PEA will focus on:
- Refining capital and operating cost estimates.
- Updating production and economic assumptions.
- Supporting informed decision-making for the next stage of studies.
Environmental Work
Key elements include:
- Ongoing collection of environmental baseline data.
- Early identification and consideration of potential impacts.
- Preparation for future permitting requirements.
Market Assessment
Key areas of focus include:
- Analysis of current and future market demand.
- Review of pricing trends and competitive dynamics.
- Support for strategic planning and development timing.
Purification Scale-Up
Key areas of focus include:
- Scaling electrothermal purification from bench‑scale to pilot‑scale operation.
- Validation of process performance, consistency, and operating parameters.
- Generation of material for customer qualification, market validation, and economic assessment
