Zentek is reassessing its Albany Graphite Project near Hearst to leverage opportunities in the defence and nuclear sectors. The company will conduct a preliminary economic assessment (PEA) to highlight Albany's potential as a high-purity graphite source.

CEO Mohammed Jiwan announced a strategic reset, focusing on key assets due to previous challenges with project management. The Albany deposit, discovered in 2011, is suitable for various advanced applications and was previously evaluated with a 22-year operating life.

A new PEA will provide updated economic insights, essential for attracting investors and government funding. Zentek aims to capitalize on favorable market conditions for critical minerals and plans further environmental assessments. The company is exploring partnerships and strategic options to advance the project, which aligns with NATO’s critical raw materials priorities.
