Canadian Zeolite Corp. (TSX-V: CNZ) is an environmentally friendly Green Tech business, with a focus on exploration, development and production of the industrial mineral zeolite.

Canadian Zeolite CEO Ray Paquette stated, "we are extremely pleased to be supplying Natural Ventures of Puerto Rico. Plant nutritional needs vary between different species and zeolites are considered as good substrates for developing slow release fertilizers. Canadian Zeolite's natural zeolite is being developed as a value added and highly efficient soil-less substrate for growing a wide variety of plants including medical marijuana."
