Zenyatta Ventures Contracts SGS Lakefield to Conduct Bench-Scale Test Program on Albany Graphite Deposit

Zenyatta Ventures Ltd. (“Zenyatta” or “Company”) (TSXV : ZEN) is pleased to announce that it has contracted SGS Canada Inc. (Minerals Services Division of Lakefield, ON) (“SGS”) 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.” SGS is recognized as the world leader in the development and demonstration of bankable flowsheets, pilot plant programs, mineralogy, technical audits and geometallurgy. As previously announced in the Company’s news releases dated 19 January and 27 February 2012, a recent drill hole on the Albany project testing a large airborne EM conductor measuring 1400 metres by 800 metres, intersected eight (8) separate and extensive graphite-rich breccia zones. Core photos, section and maps can be seen on the website at www.zenyatta.ca and will also be available for viewing in the Core Shack at the PDAC on Sunday and Monday. The graphite discovery is located 30km north of the Trans Canada Highway and a gas pipeline. A rail line is located 70km away and an all-weather road approximately 4-5km from the graphite deposit. The deposit is near surface, underneath glacial till overburden. Mr. Aubrey Eveleigh, P.Geo., President and CEO, is the “Qualified Person” under NI 43-101 and has reviewed the technical information contained in this news release.
