Lifezone Metals has been built as a new type of company to be a greener supply chain solution with over 30 years spent to develop a hydrometallurgy process (the “Hydromet Technology”) with almost 100 patents for the technology secured around the world and applications for both precious and base metals.
The proprietary Hydromet Technology is a potential alternative to smelting in metals refining and sets the foundation for Lifezone Metals as a potential emerging supplier of responsibly sourced, lower-carbon and lower-sulfur dioxide emission metals to the battery and electric vehicle (“EV”) markets.
With the Hydromet Technology in place, Lifezone Metals believes it can unlock the potential of the Kabanga nickel project in Tanzania. Lifezone Metals has a key stake in the Kabanga nickel project is founded on key partnerships and backing with the Government of Tanzania and BHP Billiton (UK) DDS Limited, a UK based subsidiary of BHP Group Limited (“BHP”), a leading global resource company.
Lifezone Metals highlights that the Hydromet Technology has been developed further with potential capabilities into recycling for autocatalytic converters to unlock a more efficient and sustainable recycling model for precious metals from spent autocatalysts.
Lifezone Metals believes it has the right technology, the right team and the right assets at the right time as the world requires cleaner metals for the green energy revolution.
Keith Liddell, Founder and Chairman of Lifezone Metals, said: “We have developed an impressive commercial model. We have a phenomenal set of backers. We have our partners in the Kabanga nickel project – BHP and the Government of Tanzania. We are also backed by GoGreen, led by CEO John Dowd and his team, who have a proven track record of long-term value creation. Lifezone Metals is the most exciting company I’ve been involved in, and I feel we are ready to take the Company to the next level – we are ready for our new life as a listed company.”
John Dowd, GoGreen Investments CEO, said: “In selecting the right investment for GoGreen, we reviewed an array of opportunities across the energy transition space. At its root, Lifezone Metals is bringing an environmental solution to the market. Lifezone Metals stood out to us for key reasons: the optionality to the upside via the Kabanga asset: the potential of its Hydromet Technology; the experienced management team with deep technical expertise and a long track record of delivery; and the beneficial and important partnerships for success. The clear societal benefits that Lifezone Metals aims to deliver supports our belief that this is a company being brought to market at a critical time for the energy transition. We look forward to debuting Lifezone Metals as a pure play nickel investment on the NYSE. “
Chris Showalter, CEO of Lifezone Metals, said: “Lifezone Metals is generating operational and corporate momentum as we prepare to list on the NYSE. Our proprietary Hydromet Technology has the potential to transform not just the world’s nickel supply, but also the way we source a range of metals on a global scale. Hydromet Technology, we believe, is key to unlocking the Kabanga nickel project in Tanzania, providing a major new source of nickel. Our focus is long-term value creation, supported by a commitment to sustainability embedded as part of our governance structure and operations, and a team and partners that bring diverse skills to bear to contribute to the clean energy transition.
In building a critical supply chain solution for automakers and OEMs demanding cleaner metals inputs, we believe we have the right solution, at the right time – with the right partners to transform the supply chain for EV batteries, and potentially the way the world sources metals everywhere.”
Creating a differentiated, pure play nickel story for the NYSE
The proposed business combination announced between GoGreen and Lifezone Metals is expected to bring Lifezone Metals public and increase the company’s access to funds as it joins the NYSE. GoGreen has over $291 million of cash in trust as of March 31, 2023. In addition, before announcing the transaction, GoGreen secured $70 million in a private placement at $10.00 per share to be consummated immediately following the closing of the proposed business combination.
It is expected that 100% of Lifezone Metals’ existing shareholders will roll-over into the combined entity. The proposed transaction is expected to provide Lifezone Metals with approximately $361 million of cash2, in addition to Lifezone Metals’ approximately $58 million net consolidated cash contribution as of March 31, 2022.3,4

GoGreen was attracted by Lifezone Metals’ access to what may be one of the highest quality undeveloped nickel projects and proprietary green processing technologies, established strategic partnerships and Lifezone Metals’ proven and experienced management. GoGreen believes that endorsement in the form of a major investment by BHP, a leader in the industry is critical to the investment case, as is the partnership with the Government of Tanzania.
Lifezone Metals will be the first US-listed nickel and technology company, providing exposure to clean metals for investors aligning with the energy transition.
The Lifezone Hydromet Technology
Lifezone Metals believes its Hydromet Technology is a solution that could decrease reliance upon traditional smelting and reduce emissions. Hydrometallurgy has existed for hundreds of years, but it has not always been practically applicable to metals needed for the clean energy transition – until now.
Lifezone Metals’ Hydromet Technology has been refined over three decades, across a range of metals, demonstrating that the technology is robust, and resulting in advanced optimisation of the process. The technology is based on accumulated IP and the strong technical expertise across the team. Lifezone Metals’ proposed in-house laboratory facilities allows the Company to process ore samples more efficiently and creates the ability to expand test work to wider applications and for specific clients.
Independent test work and studies show that Lifezone Metals’ Hydromet Technology can reduce costs and improve environmental performance.
Lifezone Metals has created an animation which expands on the process and the benefits of the Hydromet Technology and can be viewed here (https://lifezonemetals.com/sustainability/hydromet-technology/).
The Lifezone Metals Portfolio
Lifezone Metals is building a sustainability-driven, quality asset portfolio across geographies and applications. Unlocked by the Hydromet Technology, the Company has adopted a mine-to-metal approach backed by expertise, conscious supply chain integration and technology to create a solution for OEMs seeking greener battery grade metals.
The Kabanga nickel project
The Kabanga nickel project is one of the largest, highest-grade nickel sulphide deposits globally5, with over 20 years and $293 million already invested in its development by previous owners. The Kabanga nickel project is a project of national importance for Tanzania and will be delivered by Tembo Nickel Corporation Limited (“Tembo Nickel”), the partnership entity with the Government of Tanzania.
The Kabanga nickel project has been de-risked to an extent via BHP’s $90 million invested to date, with an option to increase their stake to a 51% look-through interest at asset level.6
5 | Based on analysis of the largest undeveloped nickel deposits from S&P Capital IQ Pro, as modified per public data on each mining project. The Kabanga nickel project’s resource metrics reflect the measured, indicated and inferred resources referred to in the Kabanga Mineral Resource Estimates as of 15 February 2023 from the Technical Report Summary, as set out in Table 1. |
6 | In December 2021, BHP invested $10 million into Lifezone Limited (a subsidiary of Lifezone Metals) and $40 million into Kabanga Nickel Limited, a subsidiary of Lifezone Limited, an Isle of Man company (“Lifezone Limited”); in February 2023, BHP invested an additional $50 million in Kabanga Nickel Limited, a subsidiary of Lifezone Limited. |

Lifezone Metals has retained a 40% marketing rights allocation. RBC Europe Limited has been appointed to manage a competitive off-take marketing process as the Company seeks to monetise this right.
The Kabanga nickel project mineral resource estimate as of 15 February 2023 as attributable to Lifezone Metals of 25.8 Mt (Measured and Indicated resources) at 2.63% Ni, 0.35% Cu and 0.2% Co and additional 14.6 Mt (Inferred resources) at 2.57% Ni, 0.34% Cu and 0.18% Co each with a recovery percentage of 87.2% for Ni, 85.1% for Cu and 88.1% for Co.7 Please refer to Table 1.
The Kabanga nickel project deposit enjoys favourable characteristics as a result of being relatively shallow, facilitating rapid access to such ore body and supporting both early production and cashflow. It has an average strike length of more than 6km and potential upside via exploration.
Key workstreams are underway for both the Kabanga nickel project mine site and Kahama, the refinery site forming part of the Kabanga nickel project, including the Definitive Feasibility Study (“DFS”). Early works planning is progressing as a fast-track process, with critical path activities being delivered in conjunction with key mine development studies.
The Kabanga nickel project has a social and economic focus, with the aims of upskilling generations to come, creating jobs, complying with Tanzanian law and meeting international standards.
One of the most important deliverables is the Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) and implementation. Ongoing stakeholder and community engagement as well as integration across workstreams will support delivery of the RAP. The Kabanga nickel project Environmental Management Plan Update and the Refinery Environmental Impact Assessment is also progressing.
The Kahama site is undergoing permitting as a Special Economic Zone. The planned multi-metals processing facility at Kahama will become a clean metals refining hub with economic and social benefits for Tanzania and the East African region.
From now until first ore the project milestones include resource definition drilling, resettlement implementation, early works, finalisation of project size, refining test work and DFS delivery.
In-house Hydromet labs
Lifezone Metals is working to implement a fully functional specialist hydromet lab1. Run by skilled metallurgical engineers and operators, for engineers and operators, all by Lifezone Metals.
The Company’s in-house lab will improve the ability to expedite Lifezone Hydromet Technology and test work programmes across different ore types. It will also enhance Lifezone Metals’ existing IP and test work for third parties.
Recycling
Lifezone Metals will look to advance the Hydromet Technology’s application in autocatalyst recycling. Following test work conducted since 20148, Lifezone Metals believes its Hydromet Technology can be used to recycle precious metals, including PGMs from spent catalytic converters, representing a potential new revenue stream.
Commercial Opportunities
Lifezone Metals Hydromet Technology has potential strategic advantages for the company and the wider metals processing industry, as and when the solution is applied to help clean up the metals supply chain in return for licensing income in the form of recurring revenues and strategic equity investments.
Every refinery licensing the Hydromet Technology from Lifezone Metals is expected to pay a royalty in return for licensing such technology. This model can be applied to multiple ore types and has the potential to unlock a significant addressable market of licensing opportunities. Lifezone Metals has, to date, been granted almost 100 global patents across base metals; nickel, cobalt and copper; PGMs and gold, as well as conducted test work on rare earth metals.
The Lifezone Metals business model is delivered by three approaches, namely – ownership, partnership and pure licensing.
