What happened, with direct paths to the underlying reporting
Zentek reports a NI 43-101 PEA for the Albany Graphite Project with an after-tax NPV of US$3.85B at 5% and IRR of 27.4%, based on US$817M initial capex and 30,000 t/yr finished graphite. The study supports moving to a Pre-Feasibility Study, highlighting HF-free, halogen-free purification and a pathway to domestic North American supply for nuclear-grade graphite. Permitting may hinge on Ontario's One Project, One Process and CLFN partnership, which could influence timing and costs.
