Lifezone Metals Consolidates Control of the World-Class Kabanga Nickel-Copper-Cobalt Sulfide Project
Article content Acquires BHP's 17% Interest in Kabanga Nickel Ltd. via Deferred Consideration Article content NEW YORK — Lifezone Metals Limited's (NYSE: LZM) Founder and Chair, Keith Liddell, and Chief Executive Officer, Chris Showalter, today announced that Lifezone has completed a definitive agreement with BHP Billiton (UK) DDS Limited (BHP) to acquire BHP's 17% equity interest in Kabanga Nickel Limited (KNL), the majority owner of the Kabanga Nickel Project in northwestern Tanzania. Article content As a result of the transaction, Lifezone owns 100% of KNL, which in turn holds an 84% interest in Tembo Nickel Corporation Limited (TNCL), the Tanzanian operating company for the Kabanga Nickel Project. The remaining 16% of TNCL is held by the Government of Tanzania. All existing agreements with BHP, including the T2 Option Agreement, have been terminated. Lifezone has assumed full control of 100% of the offtake from the Kabanga Nickel Project. Article content Key terms of the transaction: Article content FID Payment: A fixed cash payment of $10 million, payable within 30 days after the earlier of: (i) 12 months after the Final Investment Decision (FID) at Kabanga; or (ii) once Lifezone has raised $250 million in aggregate funding (whether through equity, debt or alternative sources). First Commercial Production Payment: A second deferred cash payment, payable within 30 days after the period of 12 months following the achievement of first commercial production. The amount is indexed to Lifezone's share price performance, with a reference share price of $4.16 per share and a reference amount of $28 million. An index factor of 0.7x applies – meaning that a 10% increase in Lifezone's share price results in a $1.96 million increase in the payment ($28 million x 10% x 0.7). Based on an illustrative price of $4.50 per share, the payment would total $30 million. Total consideration cap: Maximum of $83 million, or reduced to $75 million if the Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) Trigger Event occurs (see below). Lock-Up and Right of First Offer: BHP has agreed not to sell its Lifezone shares for 12 months post-completion. After this period, BHP must first offer any shares it intends to sell to Lifezone before potentially transferring them to third parties, subject to customary terms. Article content Mr. Liddell stated: Article content 'This transaction to own 100% of Kabanga Nickel Limited allows Lifezone to fully align our technical, commercial, and ESG strategy as we advance Kabanga toward the Final Investment Decision. We are committed to delivering the project responsibly and to creation of long-term value for all our stakeholders.' Article content Mr. Showalter added: Article content 'This marks a significant milestone for Lifezone as we consolidate ownership of the Kabanga Nickel Project. BHP has been a supportive and value-adding partner whose investment has contributed to advancing the project, and their exit coincides with the project's transition into its next stage of development. Our focus remains on delivering a world-class, low-cost nickel project that benefits all stakeholders, including the Government of Tanzania and local communities.' Article content Ongoing strategic financing initiatives to advance to Final Investment Decision Article content Standard Chartered Bank – Short-term financing and strategic advisory Article content Lifezone has engaged Standard Chartered Bank as financial adviser to support the development of the Kabanga Nickel Project. A short-term development financing package is well advanced, to provide sufficient capital to undertake early works construction and Resettlement Action Plan activities and to progress through to Final Investment Decision, including proceeding to financial close of the multi-source project finance package. Article content Lifezone is also in active discussions with several major, diversified counterparties regarding long-term strategic partnerships. Article content Societe Generale – Project finance progress Article content As announced on September 23, 2024 (refer to Lifezone's news release), Societe Generale is advising Lifezone on the project financing process. This includes potential support from the U.S. International Finance Corporation (DFC) through loans and risk insurance (refer to Lifezone's August 27, 2024 news release). The project financing process, which commenced well ahead of the release of the Kabanga Feasibility Study, is progressing well and meaningful interest has been received from potential lenders, including export credit agencies. Article content These initiatives aim to deliver a capital structure aligned with Lifezone's growth ambitions and Kabanga's development timeline. While BHP's exit marks a transition, it also presents a unique opportunity to reshape the Kabanga ownership and financing strategy to suit Lifezone's aspiration of long-term value creation. Article content The RAP Trigger Event and ESG alignment Article content The RAP Trigger Event is defined as the independent verification that the project's Resettlement Action Plan has been developed and implemented in material alignment with the International Finance Corporation's Performance Standard 5 (IFC PS5). Article content If confirmed within 12 months of completion, the total consideration payable to BHP will be reduced to a maximum of $75 million.

North Atlantic enters non-binding MOU with N.L. government to lease Bull Arm fabrication site
Newfoundland and Labrador has found someone to lease and operate a massive fabrication site in Trinity Bay. North Atlantic was awarded the lease for Bull Arm, entering into a non-binding memorandum of understanding with the provincial government to develop a "green energy centre of excellence" at the site in collaboration with private and public partners to "support the energy transition." "Commercial items in the non-binding MOU protect the provincial government's interests as the owner of this major industrial site, while providing North Atlantic the flexibility it needs to successfully attract investment and business to the site and earn a return on its investment," reads a statement issued by the Department of Industry, Energy and Technology on Thursday morning. The property has a long history as the host for oil and gas megaprojects, originally developed for Hibernia and playing a role in the development for the Hebron project. North Atlantic will take on operational and maintenance costs while kicking back a share of profits to the province. "Our goal throughout this process has been to maximize the economic and employment benefit to the people of Newfoundland and Labrador, while also providing a viable long-term business opportunity for potential proponents of the Bull Arm site," said Industry Minister Steve Crocker in the statement. "North Atlantic's plan for this site and the MOU is consistent with this goal." The lease for the Bull Arm Site is currently held by Bull Arm Fabrication Inc., which operates the site on behalf of the provincial government.
