Arizona Tribune - Zentek Provides Update on International Opportunities

Memorandum of Understanding Overview

The MOU outlines a collaborative framework where Zentek intends to contribute intellectual property, product licensing, and research and development expertise, whileAl-Ramez International Group intends to provide marketing support, investor relations, financing, and access to the KSA and MENA market. Together, the parties aim to achieve several key objectives:

1. Graphene Production Hub: Develop a world-class graphene production facility in the KSA focusing on ZenGUARD™ technologies for distribution in the KSA and across the MENA region.

2. Commercialization Hub: Establish a centralized hub for the commercialization of Zentek's current and future graphene technologies.

3. Biotechnology Expansion: Support local research and production initiatives by advancing and commercializing Triera Biosciences Ltd.'s ("Triera") multivalent aptamer technology for rapid drug discovery within the KSA and MENA region.

4. Strategic Investment in Resources: Facilitate investment and development of the Albany Graphite Deposit to support the North American supply chain for advanced materials, including anode material for the electric vehicle market.

5. Aptamer Research and Development: Secure funding for Triera to establish and expand aptamer research and development in conjunction with a Saudi university and private sector partners and build a production facility for the KSA and MENA region.

This MOU, a direct result of the groundwork laid during trips to the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia, reflects the shared vision of fostering advanced, efficient, and affordable solutions to meet the needs of industries and institutions across the region. The potential partnership also considers exclusivity and joint ventures related to the Company's opportunities that may also position Al-Ramez International Group as a key equity partner. The Company believes this potential partnership could be a significant step toward successfully commercializing many of its opportunities and creating benefits for both parties.

"We are very excited to be collaborating with Sheik Abdullah Zaid Al-Meleihi and the Al-Ramez International Group to bring the Zentek platform to the KSA and MENA region. The vast reach, track record, relationships and vision for the future of this group will provide a tremendous partnership opportunity for Zentek in the region. Our Company has the potential to play a significant role in the Saudi Green Initiative Vision 2030 as the Kingdom looks to reduce its carbon footprint through significant investments in new technologies," said Greg Fenton, Zentek CEO.
