Compound Graphene Based
Please point me to a compound utilizing Graphene that is being used on humans as a treatment for MRSA etc. I could easily be wrong but I thought that it's in testing phase and has not been tested on humans in clinical trials even.

Talking about two different things.. the compound that's been approved is for masks, gloves, gowns ppe... regardless of what's happening with the rest of the world they have the patent on GOAg. So discount that if you want but they have a contract for 300 million masks and 100 million gloves, which it appears trebor rx already has a backlog of orders for. The inhaler is in testing yet.

Production site in Edmonton.This could be distributed to all hospitals front line workers in the Edmonton areas.This would prove to be great P.P.E. for those Dr's & Nurses who work at all Edmonton Hospitals.Perhaps email head director informing him of this P.P.E Zen spray on Gloves & N85 Masks to keep frontline workers safe.

Thanks for clarifying. Just thought that if they're buying the Graphene for the PPE then the already tight margins might be very limited. It's the treatment for MRSA etc. that has caught my eye given the scale of the value just for that indication. Testing will take years and big capital.

Well, given the 2015 Zen PEA gave the cost per ton of getting purified graphite at $2.046 (USD) a ton, and Zen gives the cost of Zen's graphite conversion to graphene about $1000 (USD), One would think the magins would increase when Zen starts using their own resourses.

Does anyone know if the mine is open pit or underground.

PEA was looking at open pit... latest interviews suggest smaller scale (to Zen's own needs) and implied underground... to keep the "Nations" happy by limiting the environmental impact.

ZEN needs to build and all year road to the site. Maybe with some government funds? Then take what they need the bulk sample way. In fact their is larer equipment out there that can bring up more the same way. I think a couple hundred tons or more of Albany Graphite will go a long long way per year fo a while. JMO Steakhouse

Right. I'm still holding based on the treatment side. And there are other opportunities. As for mining I still am unsure why the bulk sample from more than two years ago wasn't used for the masks.
