This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260430675277/en/Lifezone Metals CEO Chris Showalter met with Hon. Balozi Khamis Mussa Omar, Tanzania’s Minister of Finance, and senior government officials in Washington, D.C., during the 2026 IMF/WBG Spring Meetings
Mr. Hofmaier commented: “Q1 2026 was another period of disciplined execution as we advanced the Kabanga Nickel Project, opened up new avenues with the Musongati Nickel Project Exclusivity Agreement and produced our first ever Platinum, Palladium and Rhodium from the U.S. PGM Recycling Project from pilot testwork at Simulus, while maintaining focus on capital efficiency, liquidity and long-term value creation.
During Q1, we received an initial $5 million, as part of a second utilization under the senior secured bridge loan facility provided by Taurus. The remaining $16.7 million under the second utilization was received on April 29, 2026, with a further $18.3 million of the facility remaining available.
Also in April, we further strengthened our cash position by closing a registered direct offering that raised $25.0 million in gross proceeds.

Lifezone Metals reported a cash balance of $15.3 million as of March 31, 2026, compared to $20.1 million as of December 31, 2025.
Cash usage from investing activities during Q1 2026 amounted to $6.2 million, with $6.3 million invested in the Kabanga Nickel Project.
Revenue for Q1 2026 was $1.2 million compared to $0.2 million during Q1 2025 driven by increased third-party technical and laboratory services at Simulus.
As of March 31, 2026, $25 million has been drawn from the senior secured bridge loan facility of which $5 million under the second utilization was received during Q1 2026. The remaining $16.7 million under the second utilization was received on April 29, 2026, with a further $18.3 million under the facility remaining undrawn.
For Q1 2026, Lifezone reported an income before tax of $2.4 million compared to $7.3 million in Q1 2025.
Income before tax for Q1 2026 includes significant non-cash fair value gains related to the remeasurement of certain financial instruments, while general and administrative expenses were comparable to the corresponding period in Q1 2025.
During the quarter, Lifezone recognized a fair value gain of $1.9 million on embedded derivatives in convertible debentures, $2.9 million gain on warrant liabilities, and $3.9 million gain on the deferred consideration to BHP. These gains were largely attributable to a decline in Lifezone’s share price, which fell from $4.27 as of December 31, 2025, to $3.36 as of March 31, 2026, thereby reducing the fair value of these liabilities.
On April 23, 2026, Lifezone closed a $25 million registered direct offering and issued 5.7 million ordinary shares at $4.40 per share. The net proceeds were $23.3 million and will be used for exploration activities in Burundi and Tanzania, the PGM Recycling Project, conducting Hydromet research and development at Simulus Laboratory, and for other general corporate and working capital purposes, including financing costs.

A further $5 million was drawn under the Taurus Mining Finance senior secured bridge loan facility on March 16, 2026, and as of March 31, 2026, a total of $25 million out of $60 million was received. Of the $35 million that remained undrawn as of March 31, 2026, $16.7 million was received on April 29, 2026.

Exclusivity agreement with the Government of Burundi regarding the Musongati Nickel Project:
On March 10, 2026, Lifezone Metals entered into an exclusivity agreement with the Government of Burundi regarding the Musongati Nickel Project, a large nickel laterite deposit located within the East African Nickel Belt. The agreement grants the Company a 14-month exclusivity period to evaluate the technical and economic potential of the Musongati deposit, including an initial scoping phase during which Lifezone will review existing geological data and develop a longer-term exploration and feasibility assessment program.
Historical studies, including a 2011 resource estimate, indicate a resource of more than 140 million tons of nickel with an estimated nickel grade of 1.31% and potential by-products including copper, cobalt, platinum-group metals, and scandium. The project lies approximately 200 km, southwest of the Kabanga Nickel Project in Tanzania, and the agreement reflects Lifezone’s strategy to evaluate and potentially consolidate significant nickel resources within the Kabanga–Musongati alignment.

PGM Recycling Project:
The quarter saw the culmination of the PGM Recycling Project batch locked-cycle and pilot test campaign, involving one ton of U.S.-sourced Autocat material, with Lifezone demonstrating the recovery of up to 99% platinum and palladium, and 95% rhodium, with ongoing engineering design and feasibility study nearing completion.
Two distinct, non-duplicative U.S. Department of Energy applications were submitted in January 2026 by Lifezone Recycling US, LLC that together advance a coherent federal strategy to strengthen U.S. critical-minerals production for Platinum Group Metals. The combined federal funding request totals $41.5 million, with a private cost share of $24 million, reflecting Lifezone’s commitment to co-invest alongside public funding.
Simulus Laboratories:
Continued with pilot testwork and progressed on the engineering study for Lifezone Metals’ PGM Recycling Project, successfully producing high-purity platinum, palladium, and rhodium intermediates from spent Autocat material.
Simulus Laboratories shifted focus to external revenue-generating third-party technical work, generating external sales of $ 1.2 million in the first quarter of 2026, a material increase over the same period in 2025.

Lifezone Produces First-Ever Platinum, Palladium and Rhodium from its U.S. PGM Recycling ProjectApril 7, 2026 6:00 AM
Business Wire
Lifezone Metals Limited’s (NYSE: LZM) Chief Executive Officer, Chris Showalter, and Chief Technology Officer, Dr. Mike Adams, are pleased to announce first production of platinum, palladium and rhodium, collectively Platinum Group Metals (PGMs), from U.S.-sourced spent automotive catalytic converters (“Autocats”).
This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260407867645/en/Figure 1: Platinum, palladium and rhodium samples produced by Lifezone’s Hydromet Technology from spent Autocats through pilot test work completed at Lifezone’s Simulus Laboratories in Perth, Australia
The work was undertaken to inform design criteria for a planned Autocats recycling precious metals refinery in the United States and marks the first refined PGMs produced from spent Autocats using Lifezone’s own in-house Hydromet Technology, considered a cleaner, more efficient and integrated processing route for recycling PGMs than traditional smelting and refining.
Highlights:
Over the course of 24 months and 1,179 locked-cycle and pilot batch tests, involving one ton of U.S.-sourced Autocats material, Lifezone’s Hydromet Technology successfully demonstrated the recovery of >99% platinum and palladium, and 95% rhodium.
Extensive test work has successfully demonstrated the technology, with high leach extractions, efficient purification and separation steps, and reduction to metal products.
Further refining optimization targets >99.95% platinum and palladium and >99.9% rhodium metal purities.
Lifezone’s Hydromet Technology is expected to produce less carbon dioxide emissions per ton of metal, compared to traditional pyrometallurgical smelting and refining technologies, and zero sulfur dioxide emissions.
This scalable and capital-efficient technology delivers a substantially shorter production and working capital pipeline than conventional pyrometallurgical smelting processing.
The project continues with ongoing support from Glencore. To date, Glencore has invested $1.5 million for a 6% stake and has the option to fund 50% of the project capital. 1
Following this extensive test work campaign and the locking down of the flow sheet, engineering design and feasibility study work is nearing completion. A financial investment decision is anticipated in Q2 2026 for the implementation of a commercial plant in the U.S.
The United States remains structurally dependent on foreign sources for the ~2 million ounces of PGMs it imports annually, primarily from South Africa and Russia, creating persistent economic and national-security vulnerabilities. PGMs are essential inputs for U.S. automotive emissions systems, defense and aerospace manufacturing, medical technologies, and emerging hydrogen and fuel-cell applications.
Lifezone is now focused on advancing our innovative technology to offer the United States an effective and scalable means to achieve a closed-loop system by producing refined PGMs for North American consumers and government strategic stockpiles. Lifezone’s technology reduces dependency on foreign entities and countries, securing domestic PGM production from secondary sources.
Mr. Showalter stated: “Achieving the first-ever production of platinum, palladium and rhodium metal samples from spent Autocats marks a historic milestone towards industrial implementation of Lifezone’s Hydromet Technology. Our customized flowsheet lays a strong foundation for the Company’s overarching aspiration to become the U.S.’ closed loop, traceable and responsibly sourced critical metals solution.
Our first module alone could produce 220 thousand ounces of 3E PGMs annually, nearly matching the only significant primary PGM mine in the U.S. On rhodium specifically, ranked within the highest U.S. supply chain risk category by the U.S. Geological Survey, this is transformative, as we could produce more than five times the current annual figure coming out of the country’s only producing mine, from a single Lifezone Autocats Recycling plant.”
Dr. Mike Adams added: “The production of platinum, palladium and rhodium metal samples from spent Autocats is a groundbreaking achievement for our integrated technology team at Simulus Laboratories and Engineers. This success highlights the effectiveness of our hydrometallurgical techniques and our commitment to sustainable production of critical metals.
The test work confirmed high recoveries (up to 99% Pt & Pd and 95% Rh, as per test no. 0172 ) of these critical metals to platinum, palladium and rhodium metal products, using our technology. Through completing an extensive 1,179 tests, this step-change result supports our objective – to demonstrate that Lifezone’s Hydromet Technology can process and recover PGMs from responsibly sourced spent automotive catalytic converters in a cleaner and more efficient way than conventional smelting and refining methods.”
Figure 1: Platinum, palladium and rhodium samples produced by Lifezone’s Hydromet Technology from spent Autocats through pilot test work completed at Lifezone’s Simulus Laboratories in Perth, Australia.
Extensive batch, locked-cycle and continuous pilot-plant test work for processing of one ton of monolith material derived from spent Autocats, to refined platinum, palladium and rhodium metals has been completed. Stage 1 metal purities achieved were >99% for Pt and Pd, with process optimizations planned to ultimately target >99.95% platinum and palladium and >99.9% rhodium metal purities. This body of work was undertaken to inform design criteria for the planned Autocats precious metals refinery to be located in the United States.
The pilot plant and batch locked-cycle test work has successfully demonstrated the technology, with high leach extractions, efficient purification and separation steps and reduction to refined metallic products. The production pipeline and, hence, the locked-up metal inventory are expected to be substantially shorter than in conventional pyrometallurgical smelting and refining.

Simulus is a preeminent hydrometallurgical laboratory, testing, and engineering design group. By bringing its highly trained technicians, engineers, and assets into Lifezone in 2023, Lifezone has been able to shorten laboratory testing times, avoid the regular delays that can occur when using external laboratories, maintain IP confidentiality, and better control costs.
Engineering design and feasibility study work is now advancing, based on the demonstrated process flowsheet and design criteria, to enable a financial investment decision for a commercial plant to be implemented in the United States.

Lifezone Metals Announces 2025 Financial Results and Filing of Form 20-FMarch 19, 2026 7:04 AM
Business Wire
Lifezone Metals Limited’s (NYSE: LZM) Chief Executive Officer, Chris Showalter and Chief Financial Officer, Ingo Hofmaier, announce the full-year 2025 financial results and the filing of Lifezone’s Annual Report on Form 20-F with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, available on Edgar and the Company’s website.
Mr. Hofmaier commented: “Throughout 2025, we continued to advance the high-grade Kabanga Nickel Project, amid a challenging nickel market, which included the filing of a Feasibility Study with strong economics, raising $60 million from Taurus Mining Finance and $15 million in equity from U.S. investors, demonstrating the quality, scale, and long-term potential of the Kabanga Nickel Project. Our financial discipline has maintained a strong financial position as we progress the project towards key milestones. We ended the year with a cash balance of around $20 million and undrawn funds from Taurus Mining Finance of $40 million.
In addition, we acquired BHP’s minority interest in Kabanga without any immediate cash outlay and meaningfully advanced our project finance efforts, as part of our commitment to ensuring execution readiness for a Final Investment Decision in late 2026.
At the end of 2025, Lifezone had invested over $140 million into the exploration and evaluation of the Kabanga Nickel Project, creating a solid technical foundation for the execution phase along with a much-improved nickel price outlook.”
Financial Summary:
On August 11, 2025, Kabanga Nickel Limited entered into a $60 million senior secured bridge loan facility agreement with Taurus Mining Finance, a leading global provider of structured finance to the mining sector.

Lifezone Announces Exclusivity Agreement over the Musongati Nickel Project in BurundiMarch 10, 2026 4:24 PM
Business Wire
Lifezone Metals Limited (NYSE: LZM) today announced the official signing of an exclusivity agreement with the Government of Burundi over the globally significant Musongati nickel laterite project, located in Burundi and part of the larger East African Nickel Belt, which also includes Lifezone’s Kabanga Nickel Project.
The Musongati Nickel Project has been the subject of material exploration and evaluation activities over the last 50 years, and earlier studies indicate the potential to recover copper, cobalt, gold, platinum-group metals, and scandium as by-products. A 2011 study defined a resource of more than 140 million tons, making Musongati a major, large-tonnage open-pittable resource.
A signing ceremony took place Tuesday in Washington D.C., at the U.S. Department of State, hosted by Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Central Africa and Commercial Engagement in the Bureau of African Affairs, Sarah Troutman. Lifezone Chief Executive Officer, Chris Showalter, was joined by Burundi’s Minister of Mineral Resources, Energy, Industry, Trade, and Tourism, Dr. Hassan Kibeya along with representatives from the United States government and other stakeholders.
Representatives from KoBold Metals were also in attendance, signing a Memorandum of Understanding with Burundi regarding the digitization of the country’s geological data. The California-based company uses advanced artificial intelligence and data-driven technology to identify deposits of critical minerals.
HIGHLIGHTS
The Musongati Nickel Project is Burundi's most important nickel deposit and sits within the world-class NE-SW-trending line of mafic-ultramafic intrusions known as the Kabanga-Musongati Alignment of the East African Nickel Belt, approximately 125 miles (c.200Km) South-West from Lifezone’s flagship Kabanga Nickel Project in neighboring Tanzania.
The exclusivity agreement consolidates globally significant regional deposits within the East African Nickel Belt under a single umbrella, creating an even larger inventory of resources to compete from a grade and cost standpoint with the concentrated supply from Southeast Asia.
The 14-month exclusivity agreement allows Lifezone to commit its geological and technical expertise and resources to assess the Musongati nickel laterite project within this initial exclusivity phase, as the Company heads towards financial close and a Final Investment Decision on its key Kabanga Nickel Project in neighboring Tanzania.
The exclusivity agreement initially includes a 30-day scoping phase for Lifezone’s in-house team to generate a longer-term plan towards an exploration and economic feasibility program for Musongati, with potential to extend the Exclusivity Period further to encompass the length of this program.
The initial scoping phase will incorporate data from previous work on this well-known and understood deposit.
Lifezone CEO, Christopher Showalter, commented: “As a NYSE-listed entity, Lifezone is ideally positioned to become the supplier of choice for the United States’ and partner nations of FORGE1 for nickel, a critical metal deemed vital to the U.S. economy and national security, and one which faces potential risks from disrupted supply chains.
East Africa is home to one of the world’s richest mineral complexes, the East African Nickel Belt, and, thanks to significant infrastructure investment in recent years, the deposits within it are becoming economically exploitable and competitive on a global scale. Our flagship Kabanga project has already seen this occur, with significant energy and rail infrastructure now in place to unlock this tier-1 asset. We believe that today’s agreement between these key signatories can also unlock the latent potential of Musongati”.
Burundi’s Minister of Mineral Resources, Energy, Industry, Trade, and Tourism, Dr. Hassan Kibeya said: “We welcome Lifezone as a partner in Burundi. The agreement we have signed today is built on a foundation of transparency and mutual respect. Together, the Government of Burundi and Lifezone Metals are unlocking the full potential of the Musongati Project. We look forward to working together to responsibly develop this important resource for the benefit of the people of Burundi.”
United States, Deputy Assistant Secretary Bureau of African Affairs, Sarah Troutman said: “Securing resilient and transparent critical mineral supply chains is a national security priority for the U.S., and Africa - particularly partners like Burundi - play a vital role in this effort. By working with our allies to build mutually beneficial critical mineral partnerships, we are forging long-lasting stability and shared economic growth. Lifezone's progress with the Musongati nickel project represents a cornerstone investment in the U.S.-Burundi relationship and underscores our commitment to increasing U.S. investment throughout Burundi. This milestone is a significant step toward diversifying and strengthening nickel supply chains essential for U.S. industry and the United States looks forward to continuing close engagement with the Government of Burundi to finalize this investment.”
FORGE stands for The Forum on Resource Geostrategic Engagement and has replaced Mineral Security Partnership. FORGE was announced in early February 2026 and will be chaired by the Republic of Korea until mid this year. FORGE is designed to elevate and centralize the United States international engagement on critical minerals with the objective of reshaping the global market for critical minerals and rare earths. Partners in the Forum include countries from Africa, Asia, Europe and Asia, as well the European Commission and was announced in the presence of Secretary of State Marco Rubio, joined by the Vice President, the Treasury Secretary and the Energy Secretary of the United States together with representatives of 54 countries, including 43 foreign and other ministers, at the 2026 Critical Minerals Ministerial at the Department of State, on February 4, 2026.
