- Test work is being carried out as part of the Company’s market development strategy with the goal of utilizing the tailings as a partial cement replacement
- Early results show promise and if successful would reduce tailings disposal costs and create a potential by-product revenue stream
- Research tailings material was successfully tested as a partial cement replacement, using 10 and 20 percent of a cement mixture with ZEN’s tailings material.
- After 28 days, the results showed the 10% replacement had a compressive strength rating of 46.1 MPa, less than a 2% difference from the control at 47 MPa.
- The 20% replacement had a compressive strength rating of 37.9 MPa, about 20% difference with the control sample.
- These highly encouraging initial and unoptimized results show significant promise for ZEN to push forward with further development work.
