Zentek Ltd. (NASDAQ: ZTEK | TSXV: ZEN) is poised to revolutionize the graphite and critical mineral sectors, underscored by CEO Greg Fenton’s statement: "It's probably the most exciting time in the history of Zentek." In a recent interview with InvestorNews host Tracy Hughes, Fenton highlighted the Albany graphite deposit as uniquely positioned to address critical mineral demands. Located in central Ontario, Albany has demonstrated exceptional purity, achieving “five nines” (99.999+%) purity in graphite through an environmentally friendly, two-step thermal process, bypassing intermediate hydrometallurgical stages. According to Fenton, this method positions Albany graphite competitively for "the highest value markets," notably nuclear, military, and lithium-ion battery applications, emphasizing the deposit’s strategic significance, especially with growing interest from the United States, where Zentek recently engaged in discussions with Congress regarding the resource’s national security importance.The intersection of technology and critical minerals further differentiates Zentek. CEO Greg Fenton noted that Zentek’s proprietary ZenGUARD™ antimicrobial technology, applied to HVAC filters, is nearing commercialization, with initial revenues anticipated by the end of March 2025. "We announced that we will be commercializing by the end of the first quarter to early adopters," confirmed Fenton, emphasizing this milestone as a pivotal achievement for Zentek. Recently completed shelf-life efficacy testing demonstrated that ZenGUARD™ Enhanced Air Filters maintain consistent viral filtration efficiency after 20 months, solidifying the company's position in the medical device market. Zentek’s ZenGUARD™ filters will soon enter commercialization under a Class I medical device establishment license, fulfilling a critical demand for safer and more efficient air filtration systems. Looking ahead, Zentek is not only advancing its graphite and filtration technologies but also exploring new opportunities in biotechnology. Fenton indicated upcoming developments in Zentek’s biotech division, specifically its therapeutic solution for avian influenza (H5N1), supported by a grant from Innovation Solutions Canada. He concluded optimistically, "We're very, very excited about where we are as a company," highlighting Zentek's strategic alignment with burgeoning interest in critical minerals, advanced filtration, and healthcare innovation, solidifying the company's position as a leader at the intersection of technology and resources.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
