Zenyatta Announces Classification of High-Purity Albany Graphite Shows Consistent and Desirable Particle Size Distribution for Vital Cleantech Applications

Zenyatta Ventures (“Zenyatta” or “Company”) (TSXV : ZEN) is pleased to provide results from classification tests performed by Hosokawa Micron Powder Systems Labs (‘Hosokawa’) on graphite material taken from both the East and West pipes of the Albany deposit.  Classification testing by Hosokawa on a larger batch of high-purity graphite material shows a consistent and desirable particle size distribution (‘PSD’) similar to that obtained from a previous but smaller batch regardless of whether it is East or West pipe material.
As quoted in the press release:

Bharat Chahar, VP Market Development of Zenyatta stated “Much like we observed prior, Hosokawa classification showed the natural ‘PSD’ of Albany graphite material is already in the desirable range for many applications with no micronization needed.  Micronization, which adds costs and may result in a significant loss of graphite material, is the process of reducing the average particle size of a material in order to meet the end-user specification for a certain application.  Repetition of test results obtained on material from both East and West pipes gives us confidence in the ability to produce a consistently sized material from the Albany graphite resource.”
