EXPLANATORY NOTE

Zentek Ltd. (the "Company," "Registrant," or "Zentek") is a "foreign private issuer" as defined in Rule 3b-4 under Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and is a Canadian issuer eligible to file its annual report ("Annual Report") pursuant to Section 13 of the Exchange Act on Form 40-F pursuant to the multi-jurisdictional disclosure system (the "MJDS") adopted by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). The Company's common shares are listed on the TSX Venture Exchange under the trading symbol "ZEN" and the Nasdaq Capital Market ("NASDAQ") under the trading symbol "ZTEK".

The Company is filing this Amendment No. 1 (this "Amendment") to its original Annual Report on Form 40-F for the year ended March 31, 2024, which was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on June 27, 2024 (the "Original 2023 Annual Report" and together with this Amendment, the "Annual Report"), in order to file Exhibit 97 to the Annual Report - Policy Regarding Recovery of Erroneously Awarded Compensation (the "Clawback Policy"). In addition, as required by Rule 12b-15 of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), a new certification by the Registrant's principal executive officer and principal financial officer is filed herewith as Exhibits 99.4 and 99.5 to this Amendment, pursuant to Rule 13a-14(a) of the Exchange Act. Because no financial statements have been included in this Amendment, paragraphs 3, 4 and 5 of the certifications have been omitted. The Registrant is also not including new certifications under Section 1350 of Chapter 63 of Title 18 of the United States Code (18 U.S.C. 1350) (Section 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002), as no financial statements are being filed with this Amendment.

This Amendment consists of a cover page, this explanatory note, the signature page, the exhibit index, Exhibit 97, Exhibit 99.4, and Exhibit 99.5. Other than expressly set forth herein, this Amendment does not, and does not purport to, amend or restate any other information contained in the Original 2023 Annual Report nor does this Amendment reflect any events that have occurred after the Original 2023 Annual Report was filed.


SIGNATURES

Pursuant to the requirements of the Exchange Act, the Registrant certifies that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form 40-F and has duly caused this Amendment No. 1 to the Annual Report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized.
