appointment of Tadashi Yamashita to the position of Consultant - Market Development with responsibility for advancing marketing of the unique Albany high purity graphite material throughout Asia. Mr. Yamashita will be based in Tokyo, Japan and work closely with Zenyatta's VP Market Development, Dr. Bharat Chahar. Mr. Tadashi Yamashita is a chemical engineer with more than 35 years of carbon research and development experience with Mitsui Chemicals and ConocoPhillips based in Tokyo, Japan and New York, USA. Tadashi obtained a Masters Degree (Chemical Engineering) from Tokyo Institute of Technology.

Dr. Chahar stated, "I am delighted to have Mr. Yamashita join the ZEN team. We worked closely together at ConocoPhillips to successfully bring the CPREME(R) Graphite Materials to customers globally. Tadashi possesses a strong technology background and a broad business network, especially in Japanese industrial materials. He will be invaluable to Zenyatta as we advance our ultra-high purity carbon product for potential use in high-tech applications and will be instrumental during ongoing discussions with end users in Asia. Mr. Yamashita and I will continue discussions with interested parties and develop new relationships with downstream companies to create awareness of the ultra-high purity material while the graphite deposit is being developed."



Mr. Yamashita commented, "Asia and specifically Japanese companies are keenly interested in high quality and secure supplies of natural resources sourced from stable political jurisdictions like Canada. I recognize that Zenyatta has discovered a special and large resource with excellent potential for high value carbon applications. I am very excited to be working with Bharat again and to be part of the ZEN team to help bring this unique graphite product to the Asian market."

From 2003 to 2013 Mr. Yamashita worked with Dr. Chahar on marketing and business development of CPREME(R) Graphite Materials at ConocoPhillips and Phillips 66. They led the creation and development of this new business to produce and supply graphite anode material for Lithium-ion batteries. At the time, CPREME(R) graphite was the largest North American based supplier of anode materials for Lithium-ion batteries with customers across the three major continents - North America, Europe and Asia. They were responsible for strategic direction for marketing, sales, research and development.

The CPREME(R) graphite anode material was considered the benchmark by leading manufacturers in the Lithium-ion batteries for high power batteries such as those needed for the automotive market. The CPREME(R) graphite business was able to achieve the premier status in the industry despite the fact that the Lithium-ion battery manufacturers and their suppliers were largely based in Asia and ConocoPhillips had no market presence until 2006.
