Hydrothermal Graphite Deposit Ammenable for Commercial Graphene Applications

Your question: "Answer this one question - with all the stellar results from all the 3rd party testing why has not one entity stepped forward to purchase in any way some of our graphite/graphene"?
To answer your Question our graphite/graphene is unlike any other ever tested and preforms better than any other ever tested. How do you put a price on that?
Graphene produced for sale by other companies is not even 100% graphene. Prospective customers want to know what they are buying ie: what's the quality, what % of the material is actually graphene, what is the best % of graphene in the mixture with the material they are working on.
They are working on determining an appropriate value for Zen graphene. This is what the research will accomplish, it takes time, again be patient.
It doesn't matter how much you want to see an offtake agreement with a company(s) they will happen when Zen and the company(s) are ready to make them happen.
Go back and read the news on the Zen website. For example:
Zenyatta Ventures Ltd. (“Zenyatta” or “Company”) (TSXV: ZEN) today reported that researchers in Japan have published findings in the Journal of Materials Science linking particle size to the ease of producing graphene from graphite through exfoliation – the smaller the feed graphite particle, the easier to exfoliate. The researchers further concluded that, due to the size of its flakes, the exfoliation productivity of graphite derived from Zenyatta’s unique Albany deposit in Northern Ontario performed up to 1500% better than the researchers’ reference flake graphite materials.
In a 2017 Zenyatta news release, Dr. Yoshihiko Arao, Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering at Tokyo Tech, stated “Zenyatta’s high-purity graphite material was tested by our scientific team on mechanical conversion to graphene and discovered it converted much easier and with higher yields of graphene than our reference material. We have tested many types of natural graphite but found Zenyatta’s Albany Graphite material to have better exfoliation performance and produce better graphene particles than the reference material. We believe that this is an extraordinary, unique material and we would like to carry out further collaborative work with Zenyatta on graphene applications.”
All IMHO.
