Lifezone Holdings Limited (“Lifezone Metals”) has previously announced entry into a Business Combination Agreement with GoGreen Investments Corporation (NYSE: GOGN), a publicly traded company on the NYSE (“GoGreen”). Today, Lifezone Metals is pleased to announce that it has commenced an off-take marketing process with respect to the nickel, copper and cobalt from the Kabanga nickel project (the “Kabanga Project”), which Lifezone Metals believes comprises one of the world’s largest and highest-grade nickel sulfide deposits.
Lifezone Metals seeks to support the clean energy transition through licensing of its proprietary hydromet mineral processing technology (the “Hydromet Technology”) as an alternative to smelting in metals production and becoming an emerging supplier of responsibly-sourced, low-carbon and low-sulfur dioxide emission metals to the battery, electric vehicle (“EV”) and hydrogen markets. Lifezone Metals is entitled to certain off-take marketing rights with respect to the Kabanga Project and has retained the marketing rights for up to 40%, in aggregate, of the total contained nickel, cobalt and copper production from the Kabanga Project.
Given the interest in these products from original equipment manufacturers, the company has commenced a process aimed at monetising the off-take from the Kabanga Project. RBC Capital Markets has been engaged to run a formal off-take marketing process. Further updates on the process will be provided as appropriate.
Chris Showalter, CEO of Lifezone Metals, said: “The commencement of the off-take marketing process for the nickel, cobalt and copper to be produced at the Kabanga Project is a key milestone in the development of Lifezone Metals, as we work to build a champion for cleaner metals to support the global energy transition.
There is a clear focus on upstream environmental footprint driven by consumer demand and regulatory targets in the US and Europe, and we expect a shift away from heavy-polluting sources of raw materials into the battery and EV supply chain. Recent test results indicate that the Kabanga Project’s nickel concentrate is amenable to processing using the Hydromet Technology, which we believe is key to unlocking the value of the project and paving the way for our future cleaner metal products.”
About Lifezone Metals
Lifezone Metals is a modern metals company creating value across the battery metals supply chain from resource to metals production and recycling. Our mission is to provide commercial access to proprietory technology and cleaner metals production through a scalable platform underpinned by our tailored hydromet technology. This technology has the potential to be a cleaner and lower cost alternative to smelting, allowing us to responsibly and cost-effectively provide cleaner metals.
By pairing Tanzania’s Kabanga Project, which we believe is one of the largest and highest-grade undeveloped nickel sulphide deposits in the world, with our proprietary hydromet technology, we will work to unlock the value of a key new source of supply to global battery metals markets. We partner with BHP on the Kabanga Project as we aim to empower Tanzania to achieve full value in-country and become the next premier source of nickel.
