GUELPH, ON / ACCESSWIRE / March 24, 2022 / Zentek Ltd. ("Zentek" or the "Company") (Nasdaq:ZTEK) (TSX-V:ZEN), a Canadian intellectual property development and commercialization company, is pleased to announce that its international patent application for its ZenGUARD™ technology has been published by the World Intellectual Property Office.

"We believe the global opportunities for our patent-pending ZenGUARD™ technology are tremendous, and we will continue to work diligently to maximize its revenue potential for shareholders, along with our other opportunities."
