Zenyatta Conducts Bench-Scale Test on Albany Graphite Deposit

2012-03-02

Feb. 29, 2012 - Zenyatta Ventures Ltd. is pleased to announce that it has contracted SGS Canada Inc.to conduct a bench-scale test program on core samples from the Albany Graphite Deposit, located near Hearst, ON.
The goal is to develop a preliminary flowsheet to assess the metallurgical response of the graphite material. The work will also include: chemical analysis, mineralogical characterization, heavy liquid separation, gravity, and various flotation tests. SGS is now in possession of core sample material and has begun analysis of a composite representing the uppermost graphite-bearing zones.
Aubrey Eveleigh, President and CEO stated "Following up on very encouraging results from the petrographic work completed at Lakehead University, Zenyatta has engaged SGS to develop a better understanding of graphite flake size distribution, purity, and to gauge an overall recoverability of graphite to concentrate. It is anticipated that this work will take approximately 2-4 months to complete. We consider the Albany Graphite Deposit to be a very unique and exciting project. The Company is really looking forward to the SGS results."
