The Gold Drop Property covers 5,628 hectares of geologically prospective ground in the well-mineralized Greenwood District, and hosts 8 or more known low-sulfide, gold-bearing veins or vein systems. These historical showings have had limited modern exploration. Recently, the Greenwood area has had a renewed interest by major and junior companies exploring precious and base metals in the district.

The 2018 diamond drill program carried out by the Company focused on the C.O.D vein. The vein was first identified to be a target of interest in the spring of 2017. Following initial sampling of the vein the Company conducted mechanical trenching and drilling. The results of the 2017 program were encouraging and the Company launched a winter drill program in 2018. The program followed up on the 2017 drilling. The Company completed additional diamond drilling during the fall of 2018, completing a series of exploration holes south of the C.O.D trench. Here the holes intercepted the vein, successfully extending the vein by 160 meters.

During 2018 a total of 71 diamond drill holes were completed on the C.O.D vein structure and 19 diamond drill holes were completed on the Everest vein for a total of 5,616 meters of drilling. The highlights of the program are COD18-67 that intersected 129 grams per tonne (g/t) gold and 1,154 g/t silver over 7.28 meters core length and COD18-70 which intersected 107.5 g/t gold and 880 g/t silver over 6.90 meters core length. The highlights of the drilling are listed in the following table.

Note: Due to some tellurium drill core analyses being greater than the upper analytical limit of 500 g/t the weighted average value for tellurium could not be calculated for some intervals.

The 2018 trenching program was completed on targets located during the 2017 soil geochemical sampling program. The most significant discovery during the trenching is the southern extension of the historic Gold Drop Vein. Historic production from the Gold Drop Vein System is reported to be 335 tonnes mined during 1926-1988 (mainly during 1933-1941) with 5,020 grams of gold (14.99 g/t gold) and 35,894 grams of silver (107.1 g/t silver) recovered. Grab samples collected from this vein during 2018 assayed up to 3.37 g/t gold and 43.9 g/t silver.

The company completed a thorough trenching program in the C.O.D North area. This area is located approximately 600m to the north of the C.O.D drilling worksite. Here the company conducted trenching on targets identified during the 2017 soil geochemical sampling program.

Several quartz vein outcroppings were located and sampled in the trenches. The highlights include grab sample 112753 of rusty quartz vein that assayed 15.45 g/t gold, 159 g/t silver and 114.5 g/t tellurium; and sample 112759, a chip sample across a 40 centimeter wide northeast-southwest striking sub-vertical quartz vein, that assayed 21.7 g/t gold, 216 g/t silver and 149 g/t tellurium. The table below outlines the chip sample assays obtained.

ZEN Graphene Solutions Testing of Albany Graphite Tailings as a Partial Cement Replacement Shows Excellent Compressive Strength Results $DNI $GRAT

Posted by AGORACOM at 9:59 AM on Thursday, February 21st, 2019

  • Test work for potential application as a partial cement replacement material recently initiated at the University of B.C.
  • 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.

Thunder Bay, Ontario–(Newsfile Corp. – February 21, 2019) – ZEN Graphene Solutions Ltd. (TSXV: ZEN) (“ZEN” or the “Company“) is pleased to provide an update on the Albany Graphite Project tailings test work for potential application as a partial cement replacement material recently initiated at the University of British Columbia-Okanagan Campus (“UBC-O”). (Please see the Company’s news release dated December 17, 2018)

This 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. In addition, ZEN will also be initiating new research test work where Albany graphene will be added to project tailings material to potentially create an innovative new enhanced cement material and concrete that could have higher strength, faster curing time and increased durability as well as significant environmental benefits through reduced CO2 emissions.

Francis Dubé, Co-CEO of ZEN, commented, “Cement production from limestone is a significant source of CO2 emissions accounting for approximatively 8% of global emissions. Every ton of cement that we can replace with our tailings material would potentially save up to approximately one ton of CO2 emissions.”

The research work is being conducted by Dr. Ahmad Rteil at UBC-O where ZEN’s tailings material was successfully tested as a partial cement replacement. Dr. Rteil replaced 10 and 20 percent of a cement mixture with ZEN’s tailings material and 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 results are significant as currently most of the concrete used by the construction industry (e.g. for low and mid-rise buildings, bridge decks, foundations, etc.) has a compressive strength requirement ranging between 20 MPa and 40 MPa. These highly encouraging initial and unoptimized results show significant promise for ZEN to push forward with further development work. The Company now plans further tests that will optimize the use of Albany Graphite tailings as a partial cement replacement including the potential of adding ZEN graphene to the tailings material.

Dr. Rteil stated, “These results are very promising. Partially replacing cement with tailings materials could have a significant financial and environmental impact on the concrete industry by being able to deliver a better product while reducing its carbon footprint.”

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / February 20, 2019 / GREAT ATLANTIC RESOURCES CORP. (TSXV.GR) (the ”Company” or ”Great Atlantic”) is pleased to announce it has acquired, through staking, the Southwest Golden Promise Property, located in the central Newfoundland gold belt. The property, covering an area of 1000 hectares, is centered approximately 4 kilometers west of the southern-most region of the Company’s Golden Promise Property. The Southwest Golden Promise Property covers gold soil anomalies (up to 7.6 g/t) and reported gold-bearing quartz float (up to 6.7 g/t).

Highlights for the Southwest Golden Promise Property include:

  • Historic (2008) approximately 260-meter long northeast-southwest gold soil anomaly trend including one reported sample of 7,667 ppb gold (7.6 g/t gold).
  • Historic (2009) quartz float samples returning 6.78 & 2.44 g/t gold within anomalous soil trend.
  • Reported visible gold in historic panned soil samples.
  • Within the Exploits Sub-Zone adjacent to and along the southeast margin of the Red Indian Line, a major (Appalachian-scale) collisional boundary, and suture zone.

The primary target within the Southwest Golden Promise Property is an approximately 260-meter long northeast-southwest trending zone of historic gold soil anomalies. Multiple 2008 soil samples within this trend are reported to have returned anomalous values for gold including eight samples in the 36-82 ppb gold range. Two quartz float samples collected during 2009 within this anomalous zone were reported to 6.78 g/t and 2.44 g/t gold. Panned soil samples at two of three sites within this anomalous zone were reported to yield gold flakes.

Great Atlantic’s Golden Promise Property is located east and northeast of the Southwest Golden Promise Property. The Golden Promise Property remains the Company’s focus in the central Newfoundland gold belt. The Golden Promise Property hosts multiple gold bearing quartz veins, the most advanced being the Jaclyn Main Zone. The Company recently announced a mineral resource estimate for the Jaclyn Main Zone (see the Company’s News Release of December 6, 2018). A gold bearing vein referred to as Linda / Snow White vein occurs in the southwest region of the Golden Promise Property. Reported historic surface samples at the Linda /Snow White vein include grab samples of 105 and 232 g/t gold and a channel sample of 29.7 g/t gold over 0.5 meters. The best reported historic drill hole intersection (2006) at the Linda / Snow White vein was 19.5 g/t gold over 1.15 meters (core length).

Similar to the Company’s Golden Promise Property, the Southwest Golden Promise Property is located within the Exploits Subzone of the Newfoundland Dunnage Zone. Within the Exploits Subzone, both properties lie along the north-northwestern fringe of the Victoria Lake Supergroup (VLSG), a volcano-sedimentary terrane. The northwestern margin of both properties occurs proximal to, and, in part, contiguous with a major (Appalachian-scale) collisional boundary, and suture zone, known as the Red Indian Line (RIL). The RIL forms the western boundary of the Exploits Subzone. Recent significant gold discoveries in this region of the Exploits Subzone include those of Sokoman Iron Corp.

  • The bulk sampling program is anticipated to be completed by early April 2019
  • The main purpose of the program is to recover a large sample of graphite to generate graphene product samples for market development purposes
  • This material will be subsequently purified to 99.8% and ultimately converted to graphene and graphene oxide for continued market development work.

Thunder Bay, Ontario–(Newsfile Corp. – February 19, 2019) – ZEN Graphene Solutions Ltd. (TSXV: ZEN) (“ZEN” or the “Company“) is pleased to provide an update on recent activities including progress on the winter Albany Graphite bulk sampling program and the engagement of a new Investor Relations consultant.

Bulk Sampling Program

The bulk sampling program is proceeding well and is anticipated to be completed by early April 2019. The main purpose of the program is to recover a large sample of the graphite mineralization in order to generate graphene product samples for market development purposes. The program is expected to generate up to 40 tons of 99.8% purity graphene pre-cursor material.

The winter road has been cleared to the Albany project site and the mobilization of the camp and drill equipment has commenced. The company has contracted Les Forages L.B.M. Inc. of Victoriaville, Québec to perform the drill program which is anticipated to commence shortly. Preparation and maintenance of the winter road has been contracted to Amik Nuna Forestry Services JV and the camp services will be provided by Expedition Camps and Logistics of Cochrane, Ontario; both companies have business partnerships with Constance Lake First Nation (CLFN). The bulk sample program will consist of a total of six large diameter percussive reverse circulation drill holes, five on the East Pipe and one on the West Pipe and is designed to recover up to 990 tonnes of graphite mineralized material. This material will be subsequently purified to 99.8% and ultimately converted to graphene and graphene oxide for continued market development work.

ZEN has also been invited to participate in Constance Lake First Nation’s Second Annual Mining Conference, titled “Following Water in Mining” which will be held at Constance Lake on February 19. The company will provide an update to the CLFN community on the new team, its goals and aspirations. ZEN will also be participating in the Annual Feast which will take place on the following day.

Investor Relations Consultant

ZEN is also pleased to announce that it has retained the services of Ms. Mara Strazdins, a consultant with Storyboard Communications Corp. (“Storyboard”), a Toronto-based investor relations and capital markets advisory firm serving Canadian small to mid-cap companies across North American markets.

“With our new ZEN Graphene Solutions brand in place, we are launching a refined communications and investor relations strategy to further engage with the market and our stakeholders,” said Francis Dubé Co-CEO of ZEN. “Our story has evolved considerably over the last year. We are now on a new path as an emerging graphene technology company and this new partnership with Storyboard and Ms. Strazdins will assist us as we increase our profile within the financial community and in the broader business community now looking for reliable new sources of high-quality graphene products.”

The 2019 development plans for ZEN include collecting a bulk sample of Albany graphite for processing and larger volume conversions to graphene. As the Company intends to pursue development and partnerships for its graphene material, Storyboard will assist the Company with communication of ZEN’s compelling growth plan as it continues to execute on its graphene materials business model.

Under the terms of the agreement, ZEN will pay a monthly retainer of CAD $5,000 for an initial term of six months for ongoing strategic communications and capital markets advisory services. At the time of entering into this agreement, Storyboard, or any of its executives, has no ownership interest, directly or indirectly, in ZEN or its securities.
