Zentek Files Technical Report for the Albany Graphite PEA: US$3.85 Billion After-Tax NPV at a 5% Discount Rate, 27.4% After-Tax IRR, on an Acid-Free Route to Ultra-High-Purity Graphite
Zentek has filed the technical report for its Albany Graphite Project Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA), outlining a US$3.85 billion after-tax NPV at a 5% discount rate and a 27.4% after-tax IRR. The study proposes an acid-free purification route to produce 30,000 tonnes per year of ultra-high-purity graphite over a 30-year production period, with an initial capital cost of US$817 million. The project also features a significant mineral resource estimate, including 23.1 Mt indicated at 4.14% Cg and 13.3 Mt inferred at 2.88% Cg, and is recommended for advancement to a Pre-Feasibility Study.
