Zentek and Triera Biosciences Ltd. Receive $1.1 Million Government of Canada Contract to Test Multivalent Aptamer Technology
Guelph, ON – November 6, 2024, Zentek Ltd. (“Zentek” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: ZTEK; TSX-V: ZEN), announces that its wholly-owned subsidiary Triera Biosciences Ltd. (“Triera”) has received a $1.1 million Government of Canada contract to test its multivalent aptamer technology for the rapid drug discovery of therapeutics or prophylactics of highly pathogenic avian influenza (“HPAI”) A(H5N1).
Highlights:
The Government of Canada has identified the life sciences sector as a priority of the Canadian economy and is seeking advanced medical technology solutions to address ongoing challenges
Triera was awarded a $1.1 million Government of Canada R&D contract through Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada's (“ISED”) Innovative Solutions Canada (“ISC”) program: Health Advanced And Emerging Medical Technologies
Triera’s multivalent aptamer technology was selected for its potential to be used as a rapid drug development platform
Government of Canada testing partners include Health Emergency Readiness Canada (“HERC”) within ISED and Defence Research and Development Canada (“DRDC”), the science and technology organization of the Department of National Defence (“DND”)
The test will help develop a prophylactic and therapeutic for HPAI A(H5N1) following the multivalent aptamer strategy that successfully produced a SARS-CoV-2 aptamer
Triera has proven the capability of the multivalent aptamer platform by developing a universal therapeutic and prophylactic that is effective against all variants of SARS-CoV-2. The contract will allow Triera to prove the capability for developing a lead candidate for HPAI A(H5N1).
HERC is a new federal organization within ISED dedicated to protecting Canadians against future pandemics and delivering on Canada’s life sciences and medical countermeasures readiness objectives. HERC will provide a sustained focus on advancing life sciences industrial capabilities and innovation to respond to health threats, building on significant achievements in the sector since 2020, including $2.2B that has been invested under Canada’s Biomanufacturing and Life Sciences Strategy.
DRDC is Canada's defence science, technology, and innovation leader. DRDC develops and delivers new technical solutions and advice to the DND, the Canadian Armed Forces, and safety and security communities. This is accomplished by working with partners in industry, academia, other government departments and international allies.
The contract requires Triera to develop a lead candidate for HPAI A(H5N1) within six months of the project initiation. The lead candidate will be tested for its efficacy as a therapeutic and prophylactic along with its safety profile by the Miller Laboratory at McMaster University.
“We are very pleased that our multivalent aptamer platform has been recognized through this ISC Program Testing Stream. We are working with government organizations that understand the significance of our avian flu program and can promote and support further development of our technology. Upon successful completion, Triera will be eligible for further government investment and recognition from Canada and its key allies,” said Greg Fenton, CEO of the Company and Triera.
“The potential for an avian influenza pandemic continues to grow and the consequences of a new variant, which would allow human-to-human transmission, could lead to devastating results,” Triera’s advisor, Dr. Matthew Miller said, “As with national security, the need for an outbreak response must be regarded as a failure to prevent.”
About Triera Biosciences Ltd.
Triera holds an exclusive, worldwide royalty bearing license from McMaster University to use and practice all aptamer and DNAzyme uses developed through the collaboration with the Li Lab by McMaster University for the next 20 years. Triera and McMaster’s combined expertise and capabilities in aptamer technology offer significant potential to reduce the cost and time required for the development of new treatments.

Zentek Provides Update on Icephobic Coating Technology
Guelph, ON
September 19, 2022, Zentek Ltd. (“Zentek” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: ZTEK; TSX-V: ZEN), an intellectual property development and commercialization company, has successfully completed sand erosion testing at the National Research Council (“NRC”) in Ottawa and rain erosion testing at the Anti-icing Materials International Laboratory (“AMIL”) in Quebec on Zentek’s patent-pending Icephobic Coatings. These results, when taken with the strong performance under accelerated ageing announced March 14, 2022, demonstrate that the company’s icephobic technology is durable in adverse conditions for both wind turbine and drone industries, where Zentek is currently maintaining its focus.
Summary of overall results to date as reported by the NRC and AMIL:
As reported in November 2021, icephobicity tests at the NRC yielded strong and consistent results with an average shear stress of 20 kPa required to passively remove ice accretion (results under 100 kPa are considered to demonstrate low adhesion). Retesting a year later yielded the same results, demonstrating strong stability.
Flight tests in real-world icing conditions demonstrated good performance of Zentek’s coating, with results indicating retardation of ice accretion (icephobicity) and low adhesion to accreted ice.
1,000 hours of UV exposure, equivalent to two years of UV damage in Canada, slightly increased the ice adhesion properties to 43 kPa, which is still considered to be an effective coating in removing ice.
Sand erosion testing demonstrated medium to good performance at a high speed of 540 km/h.
Rain erosion testing at AMIL demonstrated good performance at 160 km/h and 320 km/h based on our interpretation, speeds at which the leading edge of wind turbines blade tips are exposed.
NRC drone testing demonstrated consistent results of maintaining control of rotor thrust in icing conditions while uncoated blades failed to maintain thrust in the same indoor controlled environment.
NRC is preparing for outdoor, real-world environment testing of drone rotor blades with Zentek’s icephobic coating this winter.
AMIL is testing the performance of Zentek’s coating on a small wind turbine in an indoor controlled environment.
“We are very happy with both the performance and durability test results for our icephobic coating and look forward to continued testing and demonstration of our technology,” said Greg Fenton, CEO of Zentek. “Ice accretion is a significant problem in the drone and wind turbine industries with few robust solutions currently available. We believe our patent-pending technology may be a new innovative approach to addressing a significant global need and look forward to continued discussions with drone and wind turbine market participants who see value in potentially more effective icephobic technologies.”
Zentek has filed a full patent application with the Patent Cooperation Treaty, the international patent office, on August 2nd, 2022, for Nanomaterial-Enhanced Elastomer for Passive Ice Accretion Prevention. The patent application will publish approximately 6 months from the date of filing, marking the beginning of the 12-month national phase for Zentek to apply directly in each country of interest.

I hate this short shit….
March 8, 2022
Zentek Ltd. (“ZEN” or the “Company”) (TSX-V:ZEN and OTC:ZENYF), a Canadian IP development and commercialization company focused on next-gen healthcare solutions has become aware of certain rumours and allegations being circulated, and categorically refutes the egregious allegation regarding the theft of intellectual property from Graphene Composites Ltd.
On January 29, 2021, the Company was served with a statement claim issued by Graphene Composites Ltd. and is in the process of defending the action, which it considers frivolous and without merit. The Company has considered the allegations as set out in the claim and, in light of the facts, the lack of clarity in the claim, and, based on discussions with the Company’s litigation counsel, the assessment of the merits of the claim and the defenses available to the Company, and the Company’s conclusion is that the risk of the Company suffering loss in respect of the claim is remote, and therefore the Company determined the claim not to be material or constituting ”significant litigation” pursuant to the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange. The Company continues to view this claim as frivolous and will continue to vigorously defend itself against these allegations.
The Company is aware of a 2,904,839 share Consolidated Short Position (less than 3% of total shares outstanding) in the marketplace as of March 1, 2022. Furthermore, the Company believes these false allegations were meant to hurt the Company’s credibility.

"Revenue stream of 100 mill? Try Gross Margin of 240 mill. That's already set up with the contracts to buy enough GO for 3 billion mask equivalents over 6 months. Do the math @ 4 cts a mask. (Zen gives a range of 3-6 cts a mask) The contract is a 6 billion annual run rate. 6 bill times 4 cts...... 240 mill Gross margin (not Rev, Gross margin) If we assume a 50% margin, Rev would be about 480 mill....

(another Line) Treatment silver/GO Line prob will take a year or more, but de-icer stuff, maybe a year. Then there is the Biggie.... fuel additive... 2-4 years??

Please see the following D.D. -Murocman
(The following from Johan/Yahoo board)
"A complete 180 pivot to R&D which turned very successful due to universities across Canada accruing interest in the Graphene derived from the Albany graphite. The resulting partnerships has allowed Zentek the opportunity to commercialize many IP developed in collaboration with their own researchers and experts across the country.
Now finalizing commercialization of the Anti-microbial compound which initialized a growing cult interest in the company. Those willing to put in the research do not have a hard time finding reasons to invest in what is turning into a burgeoning IP-spinoff company with primary focus on Healthcare.
Current commercial capacity suggests a procurement of around what is equivalent to material used to coat 9.6 billion masks, with ability to spread that production capacity into applications as they are approved, among which include:
Masks 1% of global >$200 mil/year, MASKS ALONE!
Gloves 1% of global >$50mil/year,
HVAC filters 1% of global >$150mil/year,
Medical Gowns, caps, booties,
Bedsheets,
High-touch surfaces,
Cardboard, paper, & other packaging material,
Bandages..
Much more
Compound also undergoing human trials next year for pharmaceuticals. Expected testing multiple skin conditions and gut infections. Early safety tests suggests this will be very safe with very high potency.
Further, the company expects to release a highly competitive rapid aptamer test for localized usage and results under 10 minutes. To be developed for everything from STD's to cancer. New aptamers are
expected to require an additional one to two months to be integrated within the pathogen detection
system
Will seek to develop:
(i) commercially synthesized aptamers for the detection of COVID-19;
(ii) aptamer deposition on screen printed electrodes;
(iii) an automated detector device that adds the fluidic buffers to the sensor and integrates a potentiostat which measures impedance indicating the presence of absence of the targeted pathogen; and
(iv) software that connects the detector to a device and management system.
A prototype of the system is expected to be completed in 2022, at which point a final commercialization strategy will be determined based on the market data. The Corporation then intends to request approval for the rapid test under the interim order provision at Health Canada.
As an IP development company, they are involved in many special projects:
• Ice-phobic coating, planes, pavement, power lines
• Anti-corrosive coating, heavy maritime potential
• Fuel additives, aerospace fuels, diesels and gasoline
• Concretes, small 0.02% graphene improves tensile and compressive strengths by >40-80%
• Batteries (mentioned recently by CEO but not much has been disclosed)
• 3D conductive filaments for a variety of applications,
• Graphene quantum dot synthesis and applications,
• Graphene synthesis, has secured patent rights for in-house production through Guelph University
• Upscaling recycled plastics,
• Magnetic filament fabrication,
According to information circular, any of these could justify another pilot plant scale application 2022.
As a results of being a graphite play, Zentek Ltd. retains ownership of the Albany deposit, of which is not priority but could be outsourced or sold to further pursue the intense future proofing that the IP could provide."
IMHO & Speculation this will be a $10 NASDAQ stock in 2022. Do your own D.D. & form your own conclusions

Hi guys and gals.... been a while. this board has been crickets for so long, I migrated to the SI board. Since things are picking up, I thought I'd stick my head in. IMO, the next 5 or 6 months are going to be EPIC. If looking for more Info, check out SI, CEO, or Reddit. Reddit seems to be better for navigating and finding real intel. SI's 2 zen boards are better for conversations. Back later.
