Corporate and Group Information [Abstract]  
Corporate and Group information
1. Corporate and Group information
1.1. General information
Lifezone Metals Limited ("Lifezone Metals" or the "Company") is a limited company incorporated and domiciled in the Isle of Man, whose ordinary shares are publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") under the trading symbol "LZM". Lifezone Metals' warrants trade on the NYSE under the symbol "LZMW".
Lifezone Metals' registered office is located at 2nd Floor, St George’s Court, Upper Church Street, Douglas, IM1 1EE, Isle of Man. The unaudited consolidated interim financial statements of Lifezone Metals for the six months ended June 30, 2026, were authorized for release in accordance with a resolution of the Directors of Lifezone Metals on July 29, 2026.
1.2. Business overview
Lifezone Metals' together with all of its subsidiaries (“Lifezone”) is committed to delivering cleaner and more responsible metals production and recycling.

The Kabanga Nickel Project in Tanzania is our flagship project and is considered to be one of the world's largest and highest-grade development-ready nickel sulfide deposits. It is a well-advanced project with more than $455 million invested by Lifezone Metals and previous stakeholders, in addition to key licenses being in place to commence development. The Kabanga Nickel Project envisages a staged development plan, commencing with the construction of a large-scale, long-life, underground mine and concentrator at the Kabanga site. The sulfide concentrate that will be produced will contain high-grade nickel content with meaningful copper and cobalt by-products. The economics displayed in the 2025 Feasibility Study showcase a mining operation with robust economics that are expected to sit in the lowest quartile of the nickel industry cost curve, in addition to a clear execution plan backed by an experienced technical and management team.

We released the Initial Assessment Technical Report Summary in the first half of 2025 followed by a maiden Feasibility Study Technical Report Summary on July 18, 2025, marking a significant and historic milestone in the nearly five-decade journey of the Kabanga Nickel Project. The economic results highlight the project’s potential to deliver attractive returns over a long mine life, supported by an exceptional high-grade Mineral Reserve and Resources and a low-cost operating profile. Our partnership with the Government of Tanzania has been instrumental in advancing the project and Lifezone remains aligned in our commitment to responsible development and long-term value creation.

Through the application of our particular hydrometallurgical processing technology that has been developed and is intended to be developed further, based on Lifezone’s intellectual property (“Hydromet Technology''), we offer the potential for lower energy consumption, lower emissions and lower cost metals production compared to traditional smelting. In our US-based recycling partnership, we are working to demonstrate that our Hydromet Technology can process and economically recover Platinum Group Metals ("PGM") from responsibly sourced spent Automotive Catalytic Converters ("Autocats"). Our process is expected to be cleaner and more efficient than conventional smelting and refining methods, supporting a circular economy for precious metals.

Our US-based recycling operation would be the world’s first fully vertically integrated PGM recycling facility, providing a scalable, efficient and traceable closed-loop domestic critical minerals solution, delivering refined platinum, palladium and rhodium to the US market. Notably, Lifezone would be a significant rhodium producer in the US, allowing for the efficient recovery of the PGM basket from the secondary market. The processing and refining of all production in-house provides Lifezone with the ability to offer metal traceability, with no refining occurring offshore, thereby keeping these critical PGMs entirely domestic to the U.S.

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 Lifezone 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. 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.

1.3. Hydromet Technology overview
Lifezone’s Hydromet Technology is amenable to processing and refining metals from sulfide minerals containing nickel, copper, cobalt, platinum, palladium, rhodium and gold. As of June 30, 2026, Lifezone held 285 patents and had 32 additional applications in progress in a total of 93 countries relating to Lifezone’s suite of Hydromet Technology and associated processes. As of December 31, 2025, Lifezone held 181 patents and had 80 additional applications in progress in a total of 93 countries relating to Lifezone’s suite of Hydromet Technology and associated processes. These are categorized into six key technology families of principal patents. While these patents underpin Lifezone's technology strategy, the carrying value of the capitalized patent costs has been impaired as at June 30, 2026 (see Note 12), reflecting the absence of probable near-term royalty income rather than any diminution in the strategic value of the technology.

Compared to traditional pyrometallurgical smelting and refining technologies, Lifezone’s Hydromet Technology is expected to produce less carbon dioxide emissions per ton of metal produced and zero sulfur dioxide emissions, be more capital and operating cost efficient, have faster processing times and enable fully traceable refined metals to enable enhanced supply chain transparency.

On July 18, 2023, Lifezone acquired The Simulus Group Pty Limited (“Simulus”), a prominent hydrometallurgical laboratory and engineering company based in Perth, Australia. Prior to the acquisition, Simulus generated revenue by providing external hydrometallurgical test work and engineering services to a broad range of clients in the mining industry, including Lifezone. Over the almost three years since Lifezone acquired Simulus, the primary activity at the Simulus laboratory has been the construction and operation of two hydromet pilot plants at its premises in Perth for our two core commercial projects, the Kabanga Nickel Project in Tanzania and the recycling of PGMs from Autocats in the United States. As these projects move into the next stages of development, there is a reduction in the demand for Simulus's service for these internal projects. Consequently, the business is proactively pursuing new third-party clients to provide revenue-generating bespoke test work and engineering services.

Lifezone is focused on commercializing its Hydromet Technology across the metals and mining industry with a primary focus on the US-based PGM recycling opportunity with Glencore. Research and development are continuous alongside the broadening of Lifezone’s intellectual property portfolio through applications for additional patents to be applied to new opportunities in other metal groups and deposit types.

1.4. Kabanga Nickel Project
Our primary asset is the Kabanga Nickel Project, which is located in north-west Tanzania. Based on the 2024 Mineral Resource and 2025 Mineral Reserve Estimates detailed in the July 2025 Feasibility Study, we believe Kabanga comprises one of the world’s largest and highest-grade nickel sulfide deposits. The Kabanga Nickel Project is 84% owned by Lifezone and 16% by the Government of Tanzania.

On October 25, 2021, a Special Mining License (“SML”) was issued by the government of Tanzania for the Kabanga deposit area. Subsequently, in March 2024, a Refining License was issued at the proposed refinery location in Kahama. The Government of Tanzania is a 16% shareholder in the Kabanga Nickel Project with a non-dilutable interest via its holding in Tembo Nickel Corporation Limited (“TNCL”). As of June 30, 2026, the remaining 84% in TNCL was owned by Kabanga Nickel Limited (“KNL”), whose shareholder is Lifezone Limited (100%).

On July 18, 2025, Lifezone entered into a definitive agreement with BHP Billiton (UK) DDS Ltd (“BHP”) to acquire BHP’s 17% equity interest in KNL. As a result of the transaction, Lifezone now owns 100% of KNL and all existing agreements with BHP, including the T2 Option Agreement (the equity option agreement dated October 14, 2022, as amended on February 8, 2023, entered into between BHP, Lifezone Limited ("LZL") and KNL, pursuant to which BHP had the option to consummate a further investment in KNL, subject to certain conditions being satisfied), are terminated. Lifezone has assumed full control of 100% of the offtake from the Kabanga Nickel Project. As consideration, a fixed cash payment of $10 million is payable by LZL within 30 days after the earlier of: (i) 12 months after the Final Investment Decision ("FID") at the Kabanga Nickel Project; or (ii) once Lifezone has raised $250 million in aggregate funding
(whether through equity, debt or alternative sources). A second deferred cash payment is payable within 30 days after the period of 12 months following the achievement of first commercial production. This amount is indexed to the share price performance of Lifezone Metals, with a reference share price of $4.16 per share and a reference amount of $28 million. The maximum amount of total consideration payable by Lifezone is limited to $83 million, or reduced to $75 million if a Resettlement Action Plan ("RAP") Trigger Event occurs.

The Feasibility Study for the Kabanga Nickel Project was released on July 18, 2025, and represents a major milestone in advancing the Kabanga Nickel Project. The Feasibility Study builds on the foundation established by the Initial Assessment and focuses on the initial development phase of the Kabanga Nickel Project, which includes a 3.4 million tons per annum mechanized underground mine, concentrator, tailings storage facility and supporting infrastructure.

With the release of the Feasibility Study, the Board of Directors of Lifezone Metals has directed management to commence the execution readiness phase, including the project financing process leading to a FID, and to begin early works and infrastructure development. During this execution readiness phase, Lifezone will advance pending permitting, remaining approvals and commercial tenders, while finalizing technical work to support critical path construction activities. A multi-sourced project finance strategy is being executed, and discussions are ongoing with strategic investors and lenders. The strong economics of the Kabanga Nickel Project and alignment with global critical minerals' priorities, positions it well for sustainable financing.

On August 8, 2025, Lifezone’s wholly owned subsidiary, Kabanga Nickel Limited, entered into a $60 million senior secured bridge loan facility agreement with Taurus Mining Finance Fund No. 2 L.P. acting as mandated lead arranger and agent. The facility supports the advancement of the Kabanga Nickel Project by funding the development of critical early-stage work and infrastructure as the company progresses towards securing long-term project financing. The facility has a scheduled maturity date of July 31, 2027, with an option available to Kabanga Nickel Limited to extend the term by an additional six months. As of June 30, 2026, $41.7 million was drawn under the senior secured bridge loan facility. Please refer to Note 19.2 for further details on the terms of the facility.
1.5. Platinum, palladium and rhodium recycling project in the United States
Lifezone’s Hydromet Technology intellectual property was initially developed from test work on PGM mineral concentrates, and the first test work and scoping study was undertaken in 2014 to demonstrate the successful recovery of PGMs from spent automotive catalytic converters.
Recycling is expected to play an important role as an alternative supply of critical metals. However, current recycling practices, involving conventional smelting and refining, compound the carbon dioxide emissions intensity of metal units. Through the application of its Hydromet Technology, Lifezone offers a potentially cleaner, lower emissions and responsibly sourced recycling solution for PGMs in the USA and elsewhere.
In partnership with Glencore, a major and diversified participant in global commodities, Lifezone is evaluating the design and construction of a commercial-scale hydromet PGM recycling facility in the United States to recycle PGMs from Autocats.
In January 2024, Lifezone and Glencore each funded $1.5 million into a newly established US Lifezone group entity, Lifezone Recycling US, LLC, with proceeds designated towards the pilot program. In May 2025, Lifezone invested a further $2 million  into Lifezone Recycling US, LLC towards completion of the pilot testwork program and a feasibility study aiming to demonstrate the effectiveness of Lifezone’s Hydromet Technology to recover and refine PGMs from Autocats. As at June 30, 2026, Glencore holds approximately 5.44% interest in Lifezone Recycling US, LLC.
In April 2026 Lifezone announced the first production of PGMs from U.S.-sourced Autocats. Following completion of the pilot test program, an interim study report was completed in May. An internal project review was undertaken in June, resulting in several substantive positive techno-economic improvements, now being incorporated into the plant design and subsequent updates to the feasibility study, targeting a December 2026 completion date.
1.6. Musongati Nickel Project, Burundi

Musongati is believed to be Burundi's most significant nickel deposit, located within the East African Nickel Belt, about 200 km southwest from Lifezone's flagship Kabanga Nickel Project.
Musongati is a large-tonnage, open-pittable nickel laterite resource with untested sulfide mineralization potential. A 2011 study defined more than 140 million tons with an estimated nickel grade of 1.31%1 and potential by-products including copper, cobalt, platinum-group metals, and scandium.
On March 10, 2026, Lifezone Metals entered into an exclusivity agreement with the Government of Burundi regarding the Musongati Nickel Project. The agreement grants the Company a 14-month exclusivity period to evaluate the technical and economic potential of the Musongati deposit. Representatives of KoBold Metals signed a separate Memorandum of Understanding with Burundi regarding the digitization of the country's geological data.
The Company believes Musongati's proximity to Kabanga could unlock synergies to act as key enablers for its development: its proprietary Hydromet Technology offers a common processing route across both assets, raising the prospect of shared downstream refining and in-country beneficiation, while the energy and rail infrastructure unlocking Kabanga could be extended to serve Musongati. Together the two deposits consolidate globally significant resources under a single umbrella, creating a combined inventory positioned to compete on grade and cost with concentrated supply from Southeast Asia.
Since signing the exclusivity agreement, a high-level desktop review and evaluation was done to identify key project drivers, focusing on geology, mining, and processing, and to define the next phase of work. During the period, two visits to Bujumbura and one to the project site took place, to verify historical work, meet with key stakeholders, and inform planning for the additional exploration needed to evaluate the project.

These unaudited consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with Lifezone Metals' audited consolidated financial statements contained on its Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2025, as some disclosures from the annual consolidated financial statements have been condensed or omitted. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2026, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2026.
These unaudited consolidated interim financial statements incorporate the financial statements of Lifezone Metals and its controlled subsidiaries as of June 30, 2026.
Control exists when Lifezone has the power, directly or indirectly, to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. The unaudited consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of Lifezone Metals and its subsidiaries. Intercompany balances, transactions, income and expenses are eliminated on consolidation.
The information furnished herein reflects all normal recurring entries, that are in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods reported.
The unaudited consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis unless otherwise stated.
2.2. Going concern
Management has assessed the going concern assumptions of Lifezone during the preparation of these unaudited consolidated interim financial statements. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, Lifezone's loss was $6.93 million (six months ended June 30, 2025: income of $2.25 million) and accumulated losses at June 30, 2026, was $474.9 million (December 31, 2025: $468.1 million).
As of June 30, 2026, Lifezone had consolidated cash and cash equivalents of $37.3 million, compared with $20.1 million as of December 31, 2025. Please refer to the unaudited consolidated interim cash flow statements for details on usage and receipt of cash during the six months ended June 30, 2026. Available cash includes the receipts of a registered direct offering that closed on April 23, 2026 (the "2026 Offering") of 5,700,000 ordinary shares, with no warrants. The ordinary shares were sold at a purchase price of $4.40 per share. The net proceeds from the 2026 Offering were $23.33 million (after placement agent fees, commissions, and estimated offering expenses payable by Lifezone).
Lifezone's liquidity includes cash and cash equivalents of $37.29 million as of June 30, 2026, and a further $18.3 million of the senior secured bridge loan facility subject to satisfaction of conditions precedent, which remained undrawn as of June 30, 2026. The facility is available for further drawdowns until November 29, 2026, and supports advancing the Kabanga Nickel Project by funding pre-FID critical early-stage work and project financing activities. The facility has a scheduled maturity date of July 31, 2027, with an option available to Kabanga Nickel Limited to extend the term by an additional six months subject to meeting the required conditions. Funds made available under the senior secured bridge loan facility cannot be used for any purpose other than the Kabanga Nickel Project.
The unaudited consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activities, the realization of assets and the discharge of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. Lifezone has not generated significant revenues from operations and, as is common with many exploration-stage mining companies, Lifezone raises financing for its exploration, study, and research and development activities in discrete tranches. As of June 30, 2026, Lifezone has net current liabilities of $17.13 million and based on Lifezone’s current and anticipated liquidity and funding requirements, and notwithstanding the funds received from the 2026 Offering, Lifezone will need to raise additional capital in the next 12 months to fund its corporate expenditure, operations and project developments, in particular for the Kabanga Nickel Project, and to maintain the minimum cash balance covenant required under the senior secured bridge loan facility. Based on our assessment, additional funding will be required in early 2027 for both the Kabanga Nickel Project and the other two segments of the business. In this assessment, we consider completing all of our forecast pre-FID activities, which will consume all of the available funds from the senior secured bridge loan facility earmarked for the Kabanga Nickel Project. In addition, additional capital will need to be raised, or an agreement reached to refinance the senior secured bridge loan, which has a scheduled maturity date of July 31, 2027, with an option available to Kabanga Nickel Limited to extend the term by an additional six months.
We also consider the Board of Directors making the FID for the Project during Q1 2027, which will materially increase our investment cash flows and require raising equity, including a farm-down at the Kabanga Nickel Project level, and debt through a multi-sourced project financing solution. With concerted efforts, this date could be moved forward, but FID could happen later, depending on the lender's assessment of the Framework Agreement. In the event Lifezone issues additional equity in the future, shareholders could face significant dilution in their holdings.
Lifezone’s future operating losses and capital requirements may vary materially from those currently planned and will depend on many factors including Lifezone’s growth rate, the execution of various growth projects, and the demand for the Hydromet Technology, and capital costs in relation to the development of the Kabanga Nickel Project, and the demand and prices for the minerals we envision extracting in our Metals Extraction business and as well as for Lifezone’s working capital requirements.
To finance the development of the Kabanga Nickel Project, Lifezone is pursuing a diversified funding strategy potentially including equity offerings, strategic partnerships, mezzanine financing and bridge and project-level debt. Active discussions are ongoing with offtake partners, financial and strategic investors, development finance institutions, and commercial lenders.
If required, to maintain liquidity, management could consider reducing operating costs, pausing capital expenditures, restructuring interest-bearing debt, or maximizing external revenues from the Simulus hydromet laboratory based in Perth, Australia. Additionally, Lifezone may receive the proceeds from any exercise of any Warrants in cash. Each Lifezone warrant represents the right to purchase one ordinary Lifezone share at a price ranging from $4.00 to $11.50 per share in cash. Please refer to Note 22 for further details on the number of warrants outstanding, exercise prices and expiry dates of the warrants.

In the event that Lifezone is unable to secure sufficient funding, it may not be able to fully develop its projects, and this may have a consequential impact on the carrying value of the related exploration and evaluation assets and the investment in its subsidiaries as well as the going concern status of Lifezone. Given the nature of Lifezone’s current activities, it will remain dependent on equity, mezzanine, alternative or debt funding or monetizing the offtake from the Kabanga Nickel Project until such time as Lifezone becomes self-financing from the commercial production of metals and minerals and royalties received from intellectual property rights linked to its Hydromet Technology.

These conditions give rise to a substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, as there can be no assurance that Lifezone will be able to raise the required financing through a combination of equity offerings, debt financings, strategic alliances, alternative financings, and off-take agreements and/or licensing arrangements in the future. Notwithstanding this substantial doubt, the directors of Lifezone consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis as they believe that Lifezone will be able to raise further funding as set out above prior to any breach of covenants. The financial statements do not include the adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary if Lifezone were unable to continue as a going concern.

2.3. Accounting pronouncements
The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the unaudited consolidated interim financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the annual consolidated financial statements of Lifezone Metals for the year ended December 31, 2025, except for the adoption of new standards effective as of January 1, 2026.
Lifezone has not early adopted any standard, interpretation, or amendment that was issued but is not yet effective.
The following amendment applies for the first time in 2026, but does not have an impact on the unaudited consolidated interim financial statements of Lifezone:
•Amendments to the Classification and Measurement and Impairment of Financial Instruments (Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7): The amendments clarify that a financial liability is derecognized on the settlement date and introduce an accounting policy choice to derecognize financial liabilities settled using an electronic payment system before the settlement date. Other clarifications include the classification of financial assets with ESG-linked features via additional guidance on the assessment of contingent features. Clarifications have been made to non-recourse loans and contractually linked instruments. Additional disclosures are introduced for financial instruments with contingent features and equity instruments classified at fair value through OCI.
•Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 – Contracts Referencing Nature-dependent Electricity: These amendments introduce application guidance on the classification and measurement of contracts that reference nature-dependent electricity (such as renewable energy contracts), including considerations for whether such contracts meet the “own-use” scope exception or should be accounted for as derivatives. The amendments also clarify how variability linked to nature-dependent factors should be assessed in determining whether contractual cash flows meet the solely payments of principal and interest (“SPPI”) criterion.
•Annual Improvements to IFRS Accounting Standards – Volume 11 : These annual improvements include a series of minor amendments to various IFRS Accounting Standards aimed at clarifying wording, correcting unintended
inconsistencies, and improving guidance. The amendments address, among other matters, aspects of classification and measurement under IFRS 9, disclosure requirements under IFRS 7, and consequential wording improvements in other standards.
Management anticipates that all relevant pronouncements will be adopted for the first period beginning on or after the effective date of the pronouncement. The standards and interpretations that are issued, but are not yet effective, up to the date of issuance of Lifezone’s financial statements that Lifezone reasonably expects may have an impact on its disclosures, financial position or performance when applied at a future date, are disclosed below.
•IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements - applies from January 1, 2027. Lifezone is currently assessing the effect of this new accounting standard and amendments.
2.4. Basis of consolidation
The unaudited consolidated interim financial statements comprise the financial statements of Lifezone Metals and its controlled subsidiaries. Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when Lifezone obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when Lifezone loses control of the subsidiary.
Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the equity holders of Lifezone Metals as the parent entity of Lifezone and to the non-controlling interests, even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance. When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies in line with Lifezone’s accounting policies. All intra-group assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses, and cash flows relating to transactions between members of Lifezone are eliminated on full consolidation.
A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction. If Lifezone loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognizes the related assets (including goodwill), liabilities, non-controlling interest, and other components of equity, while any resultant gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss. Any investment retained is recognized at fair value.
Lifezone attributes total comprehensive income or loss of subsidiaries between the owners of Lifezone Metals as the parent entity and the non-controlling interests based on their respective ownership interests.
2.5. Foreign Private Issuer status
Given that Lifezone Metals is incorporated in the Isle of Man, it is considered a Foreign Private Issuer (“FPI”) under the securities laws of the U.S. and the rules of the NYSE.
In our capacity as an FPI, we are exempt from certain rules under the Exchange Act that impose certain disclosure obligations and procedural requirements for proxy solicitations under Section 14 of the Exchange Act. Moreover, we are not required to file periodic reports and financial statements with the SEC as frequently or as promptly as United States companies whose securities are registered under the Exchange Act. In addition, we are not required to comply with Regulation FD, which restricts the selective disclosure of material information. NYSE listing rules include certain accommodations in the corporate governance requirements that allow FPI, such as us, to follow “home country” corporate governance practices in lieu of the otherwise applicable corporate governance standards of NYSE.
FPIs may prepare their financial statements using US GAAP; or IFRS pursuant to Regulation S-X Rule 4-01(a)(2). In the case of FPIs that use the English-language version of IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, or IASB IFRS, no reconciliation to US GAAP is needed.
We may take advantage of these exemptions until such time as we are no longer an FPI. We are required to determine our status as an FPI on an annual basis at the end of each second fiscal quarter.
We would cease to be an FPI at such time as more than 50% of our outstanding voting securities are held by United States residents and any of the following three circumstances apply:
1.the majority of our executive officers or directors are United States citizens or residents.
2.more than 50% of our assets are located in the United States or
3.our business is administered principally in the United States.
If we lose our FPI status, we would be required to comply with Exchange Act reporting and other requirements applicable to U.S. domestic issuers, which are more detailed and extensive than the requirements for FPIs.
FPI status requires implementing procedures and processes to address public company regulatory requirements and customary practices.
2.6. Emerging Growth Company status
We are an Emerging Growth Company (“EGC”), as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). As such, we are eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not EGCs. This includes, but is not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act” or “SOX”), reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in their periodic reports and proxy statements and exemptions from the requirements of holding a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.
We will continue to qualify as an EGC until the earliest of:
1.the last day of the fiscal year during which we had total annual gross revenues of US$1,235,000,000, as such amount is indexed for inflation every 5 years by the SEC or more;
2.the last day of our fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act;
3.the date on which we have, during the previous 3-year period, issued more than US$1,000,000,000 in non-convertible debt; or
4.the date on which we are deemed to be a “Large Accelerated Filer”, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 12b-2. Lifezone would become a Large Accelerated Filer if Lifezone has a public float of greater than $700 million, has been filing periodic reports for at least 12 months, has previously filed at least one annual report, and is not a smaller reporting company.
Section 103 of the JOBS Act provides that an EGC is not required to comply with the requirement to provide an auditor’s report on ICFR under Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. An EGC still has to perform management’s assessment of internal control over financial reporting (SOX 404(a) and the disclosure requirement of Item 308(a) of Regulation S-K).
2.7. Significant accounting judgments, estimates, and assumptions
The preparation of Lifezone’s unaudited consolidated interim financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, including contingent assets and liabilities, and the accompanying disclosures. Actual results may differ from these estimates and uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in the future period.
The judgments, estimates and assumptions applied in these unaudited consolidated interim financial statements, including the key sources of estimation uncertainty, were the same as those applied in Lifezone’s latest annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025.
2.8. Restatement of disclosure related to unused tax losses and temporary differences for which no deferred tax asset has been recognized
Deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilized. Unrecognized deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available, against which the unrecognized deferred tax assets can be used. During our assessment and the review of the tax returns of Lifezone group entities for the year ended December 31, 2025, management assessed that the earlier unrecognized pre-trading capital expenses at Kabanga Nickel Limited do not represent a potential future temporary difference, leading us to exclude these amounts from unrecognized deferred tax assets as disclosed in Note 14. In addition, we are now showing the trading losses of LZ Services and Kabanga Nickel Limited as trading losses, separately from pre-trading losses of all other subsidiaries. Following an audit by the Tanzania Revenue Authority ("TRA") of the corporation tax return of TNCL for the year ended December 31, 2024, in which the TRA disallowed capital allowances claimed in respect of exploration and evaluation assets, management revised TNCL's corporation tax return for the year ended December 31, 2025 to exclude capital allowances on exploration and evaluation assets, such that no temporary difference arises in respect of these assets. Please refer to Note 14 for further details.

Segment information
3. Segment information
For management purposes, Lifezone is organized into business units based on the main types of activities and has three reportable operating segments, as follows:
•Metals Extraction;
•Intellectual Property (“IP”); and
•Corporate
The Metals Extraction segment of the business comprises Lifezone’s interest in KNL, including the Kabanga Nickel Project in Tanzania. The IP segment comprises patents held and managed by Lifezone Limited, a team of highly skilled engineers, scientists, and technicians based in Lifezone’s Simulus hydromet laboratory based in Perth, a strategic partnership with Sedibelo Resources Limited ("SRL") and Industrial Development Corporation ("IDC") regarding the development of the potential Kell-Sedibelo-Lifezone Refinery, and the agreement between Lifezone and Glencore to recycle PGM in the United States.

The Chief Executive Officer ensures that the corporate strategy determined by the board is being implemented. He manages Lifezone on a day-to-day basis, monitors and reports on the operating results of the business units for the purpose of making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment, and acts as Lifezone’s Chief Operating Decision Maker. Segment performance is evaluated based on cash flows and operating profit or loss before taxes.

Lifezone’s financing and treasury operations are centrally managed at the group level. These activities, along with other group-related functions, are reported under Corporate. Additionally, Corporate provides management services to the operating segments.

Each of these operating segments is managed separately as each requires different technological expertise, marketing approaches, and other resources. All inter-segment transfers are carried out at arm’s length, under terms comparable to transactions with third parties.

Inter-segment eliminations and transactions are identified separately, and the combined segments’ information is reconciled to the Statement of Financial Position and Statement of Comprehensive Income (Loss). Inter-segment revenues are eliminated upon consolidation and reflected in the "Inter-segment eliminations" column.
The results for the six months ended June 30, 2026, and June 30, 2025, respectively, are shown below.

On June 30, 2026, the embedded derivative liability component of the convertible debentures, as disclosed in Note 19.1, was reassessed to be $3,604,000 compared to $5,153,000 as at December 31, 2025. The decrease in fair value of $1,549,000 is largely due to the decline in the price of Lifezone Metals' share from $4.27 as at December 31, 2025, to $3.88 as at June 30, 2026, and the passage of time. This decline in share price has reduced the likelihood that debenture holders will exercise their option to convert debentures into ordinary shares of Lifezone at the conversion price of $8.00 per share. In addition, the passage of time has shortened the period remaining until expiry. The fair value decrease has been recognized as an unrealized gain in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss).

Lifezone capitalizes exploration and evaluation costs related to the Kabanga Nickel Project as exploration and evaluation assets. Capitalized exploration and evaluation expenditure includes a wide range of exploration, evaluation, and study-related costs, including general, administrative and financing costs that are related to the Kabanga Nickel Project.
General and administrative expenses included in the unaudited consolidated interim statements of comprehensive income (loss) are costs that are expensed either because such costs do not relate to the Kabanga Nickel Project or are not eligible for capitalization under Lifezone's accounting policy.
During the six months ended June 30, 2026, $13.75 million of gross total general and administrative expenses (compared to $8.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025) was capitalized to exploration and evaluation assets as part of the Kabanga Nickel Project.

VAT/GST receivables
VAT/Goods and Services Tax ("GST") receivables are short-term and receivable within twelve months following an applicable VAT refund application in the local tax jurisdiction. Lifezone has net VAT/GST receivables with the United Kingdom and Australian tax authorities amounting to $706,627 (December 31, 2025: $540,708).
The VAT receivables in Tanzania have been fully provided for, following the rejection by the TRA of our VAT refund application related to goods and services procured for the Kabanga Nickel Project. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, a provision of $999,978 was recorded to the consolidated interim statement of comprehensive income (loss), compared to $470,263 for the same period in 2025. Total provision as at June 30, 2026, is $7,472,503 (December 31, 2025: $6,941,708). TNCL has formally contested the TRA’s decision, asserting that the rejection is unfounded, as the purchases were directly linked to its economic activities in Tanzania, aimed at developing the Kabanga Nickel Project with the ultimate goal of producing and exporting metals. Lifezone remains actively engaged with the Government of Tanzania and continues to monitor the situation closely, seeking a favorable resolution in line with applicable local laws and regulations.

Lifezone’s intellectual property includes six patent families, covering various enhancements to the Hydromet Technology process for metal production from ores, concentrates and other feedstocks, including PGM, gold, silver, base metals and rare earth metals. These enhancements span the handling of gangue elements, purification steps, diverse feed materials, and carbon emissions minimization.
Lifezone has impaired the carrying value of the capitalized patent costs as at June 30, 2026 on the grounds that, since Lifezone listing, no revenue has been generated from them, and that, following BHP's exit from the Kabanga Nickel Project and ongoing discussions with future strategic partners during the first six months of 2026, there is no probable and near-term use case that will lead to material royalty income from the existing patents. Realizing value from the patents would require further research and development and management assumes that royalty income will in the near term more likely be generated from licensing technological process knowhow.

All of our exploration and evaluation assets and mining data relate to the Kabanga Nickel Project in Tanzania.
The capitalization of exploration and evaluation costs is based on the reasonable prospect that the Kabanga Nickel Project can be developed into a profitable mining operation. It assumes that the exploration and evaluation expenditure and study work relating to a mineral resource within a valid license area could result in cash inflows over time, either through sale or development. Exploration and evaluation expenditures are recognized and measured at cost and the related assets are classified as intangible assets.
An exploration and evaluation asset shall no longer be classified as such when the technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting a mineral resource are demonstrable. Lifezone considers this threshold achieved once a FID is made.
Where Lifezone is unsuccessful in acquiring or being granted a tenement area, any such costs are immediately expensed. All costs incurred prior to securing the legal right to undertake exploration activities on a project are written off as incurred.
Additions during the period are capitalized exploration and evaluation costs linked to the Kabanga Nickel Project in Tanzania. Technical and administrative overheads incurred in connection with exploration and evaluation activities are capitalized as exploration and evaluation assets.
During the six months ended June 30, 2026, $13,753,103 (six months ended June 30, 2025: $8,756,349) of the gross total general and administrative expenses was capitalized to exploration and evaluation assets as part of the Kabanga Nickel Project.
Exploration and evaluation assets include borrowing costs on the senior secured bridge loan facility capitalized during the six months ended June 30, 2026 of $2,918,133 (six months ended June 30, 2025: $nil). These costs relate to the senior secured bridge loan facility that has been entered into to fund the development of the Kabanga Nickel Project. Refer to Note 19.2 for further details. Interest income of $155,907 (six months ended June 30, 2025: $nil) on cash held at banks resulting from drawings under the senior secured bridge loan facility has been offset against the capitalized borrowing costs.

Lifezone operates across various jurisdictions with different corporate income tax rates, including the Isle of Man (0%), United Kingdom (25%), Tanzania (30%) and Australia (30%). Each subsidiary applied the domestic tax rates of its country of incorporation.
Lifezone has recognized a deferred tax income of $108,268 during the six months ended June 30, 2026, (six months ended June 30, 2025: $180,816). As at June 30, 2026, the deferred tax liability is $195,481 (December 31, 2025: deferred tax liability $303,749).

Unrecognized Deferred Tax Assets
Deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilized. Unrecognized deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available, against which the unrecognized deferred tax assets can be used. During our assessment and the review of the tax returns of Lifezone group entities for the year ended December 31, 2025, management assessed that the earlier unrecognized pre-trading capital expenses at Kabanga Nickel Limited and certain adjustments in Tembo Nickel Corporation Limited do not represent a potential future temporary difference, leading to management to exclude these amounts from the table below. In addition,
we are now showing the trading losses of LZ Services Limited and Kabanga Nickel Limited as trading losses, separately from pre-trading losses of all other subsidiaries.
As at June 30, 2026, there are gross unused tax losses and other deductible temporary differences of $54,212,145 (December 31, 2025: $50,334,123) mainly arising from accumulated tax losses associated with the Kabanga Nickel Project. Deferred tax assets have not been recognized on unused tax losses and other deductible temporary differences as Lifezone’s mining operation remains in the exploration and evaluation phase. Consequently, management considers that future taxable profits are not sufficiently probable at the balance sheet date against which the deferred income tax asset can be recovered fully.
Unused tax losses and temporary differences for which no deferred tax asset has been recognized are as follows:

The amount previously disclosed has been restated for the following reasons:
•During our assessment and the review of the tax returns of Lifezone entities for the year ended December 31, 2025, management assessed that the earlier unrecognized pre-trading capital expenses of $50.97 million at Kabanga Nickel Limited do not represent a potential future temporary difference, leading us to exclude these amounts from unrecognized deferred tax assets.
•Following an audit by the TRA of the corporation tax return of TNCL for the year ended December 31, 2024, in which the TRA disallowed capital allowances claimed in respect of exploration and evaluation assets, management revised TNCL's corporation tax return for the year ended December 31, 2025 to exclude capital allowances on exploration and evaluation assets, such that no temporary difference arises in respect of these assets. As a result accelerated capital deductions and corresponding tax losses have been adjusted by approximately $50 million.
•We are now showing the trading losses of LZ Services Limited and Kabanga Nickel Limited as trading losses, separately from pre-trading losses of all other subsidiaries.

Provision for withholding tax

In 2020, Kabanga Nickel Company Limited ("KNCL"), a subsidiary of Lifezone, filed a tax appeal with the Tax Revenue Appeals Tribunal, contesting a withholding tax assessment imposed by the TRA on imported services. These services were provided by non-resident entities during a period when KNCL was jointly owned by Barrick and Glencore. On January 21, 2021, the TRA issued an Agency Notice to KNCL’s bank, Citi Bank Tanzania Limited, leading to the transfer of the company’s total bank balance of TZS 823,400,321 as of January 31, 2021, to the TRA. KNCL is a non-operating entity whose retention mining license was revoked by the Government of Tanzania in 2018, ahead of the acquisition by Lifezone and carries a de-minimis amount of cash.

Subsequently, on April 22, 2021, the TRA lifted the Agency Notice until further notice, pending a hearing and final determination of the case. On July 30, 2024, the Court of Appeal ruled in favor of the TRA, dismissing KNCL’s appeal and confirming the tax assessment of TZS 8.43 billion as payable. Following this ruling, a provision of $3.44 million, equivalent to TZS 8.43 billion as at December 31, 2024, was made, covering the principal tax amount plus interest.

In March 2025, the TRA issued a demand notice for the withholding tax of TZS 8.43 billion, along with additional interest for late payment of TZS 12.36 billion (equivalent to interest of $4.71 million as at June 30, 2026). Please also refer to Note 26 for further details.

Over the last few months, Lifezone and its Tanzanian entities have been in active discussions with the Government of Tanzania to amend the existing Framework Agreement. As part of these discussions, the parties have
agreed on a mechanism to resolve several outstanding matters with the TRA. Based on the advice received and the advanced stage of the Framework Agreement negotiations, management believes it is probable that Lifezone will not be required to pay the additional interest charges of $4.71 million (TZS 12.36 billion) in relation to the withholding tax assessment. As a result, no provision has been recognized in respect of the additional interest charges. However, as the amended Framework Agreement has not yet been signed or become effective, there remains a risk that the waiver or resolution mechanism may not be finalized on the terms currently anticipated. Should the Framework Agreement not be renegotiated or its terms differ materially from those currently discussed, Lifezone could be exposed to additional interest charges on the withholding tax liability.

Following the resolution of this matter Lifezone intends to place KNCL in voluntary liquidation. KNCL does not hold the SML and any liquidation has no impact on Lifezone's operations.

Provision for other taxes

On February 26, 2026, the TRA issued a tax assessment identifying unpaid taxes of TZS 0.57 billion (equivalent to $234,641) following an audit of TNCL of the 2024 tax year. Although TNCL has lodged objections to certain elements of the assessment, management has evaluated the findings and determined that it is probable that the assessed amount will be payable. Accordingly, a provision of $234,641 had been recognized, comprising the principal unpaid taxes of $234,641 together with accrued interest as at December 31, 2025. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, TNCL paid $115,920 to the TRA in cash and the balance of $118,721 is carried as a provision.

18. Lease liabilities
Lifezone's leases include leases of office space, warehouse and accommodation units in Tanzania and Australia. Right-of-use (“ROU”) lease assets and lease liabilities are recognized for such leases at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Lifezone does not recognize a related ROU asset and lease liability for a lease term of twelve months or less.
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, and June 30, 2025, Lifezone recognized an expense of $127,653 and $216,014, respectively, relating to short-term leases. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, Lifezone extended the term of its office lease in Perth, Australia by two years.

Debt
19. Debt
19.1. Hybrid Financial Instruments: Convertible debentures with embedded derivatives
On March 27, 2024, Lifezone Metals closed a $50.0 million non-brokered private placement of unsecured convertible debentures. The unsecured convertible debentures bear interest over a 48-month term, payable quarterly, at a rate of the SOFR plus 4.0% per annum, subject to a SOFR floor of 3.0%. The unsecured convertible debentures can be redeemed early by Lifezone, subject to the achievement of certain conditions, at a price of 105% plus interest otherwise payable to the maturity date March 27, 2028. In the first two years, interest was payable quarterly via a mix of shares (or cash if the share price was lower than $4.0 per share) and a payment-in-kind accrual of the outstanding principal. All outstanding interest of $4,278,974 (including payment-in-kind interest) became payable at the end of March 2026, with all subsequent quarterly interest payments to be settled entirely in cash.
The unsecured convertible debentures are convertible into ordinary shares of Lifezone Metals at the option of the holder at a price of $8.00 per share and are subject to customary adjustments (the “Conversion Right”). The conversion price was determined on the closing date based on the lesser of a 30% premium to a trailing period VWAP and $8.00 per share. Mandatory conversion might occur if Lifezone’s share price is greater than 50% above the conversion price for any 15 trading days within a 30-days consecutive trading period.
The unsecured convertible debentures were determined to be a hybrid financial liability, comprising a host debt instrument and two embedded derivatives, the Conversion Right and the Interest Shares, with both having economic characteristics and risks different from the host debt instrument. In other words, they are not closely related to the non-derivative host debt instrument given their value changes with the value of shares in Lifezone Metals, while the host liability changes in relation to a reference borrowing index (in this case SOFR).
The host debt instrument is classified and measured at amortized cost, while the embedded derivatives are accounted for separately at fair value through profit or loss. As at June 30, 2026, the carrying amount of the host debt instrument was $34,506,702 (December 31, 2025: $34,521,933). As at June 30, 2026, the estimated fair value of the host debt instrument was $41,261,011 (December 31, 2025: $43,628,118).
The fair value of the Conversion Right was estimated using the Finite Difference Method and the Share Interest feature was estimated using the Monte Carlo Simulations using the following key assumptions:

Share Price$3.88$4.27
Equity Volatility75 %70 %
Dividend Yield- %- %
Credit Spread18.6 %17.8 %
On June 30, 2026, the embedded derivative liability component of the convertible debentures was reassessed to be $3,604,000 compared to $5,153,000 as at December 31, 2025. The decrease in fair value of $1,549,000 is largely due to the fall in the price of Lifezone Metals' shares from $4.27 as at December 31, 2025, to $3.88 as at June 30, 2026, and to a lesser extent due to the passage of time. This decline in share price has reduced the likelihood that debenture holders will exercise their option to convert debentures into ordinary shares of Lifezone Metals at the conversion price of $8.00 per share. In addition, the passage of time has shortened the period remaining until expiry. The fair value decrease has been recognized as a gain in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss). The fair value measurement of the embedded derivative liability is categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.
A sensitivity analysis was performed to assess the impact of changes in the volatility of share price on the indicated value at June 30, 2026. For illustrative purposes, a 10% increase and a 10% decrease in the share price volatility were analyzed, holding all other assumptions constant. A 10% increase in the share price volatility would result in an increase in fair value by $556,000 while a 10% decrease in the share price volatility would result in a decrease in the fair value by $485,000.

19.2. Senior secured bridge loan facility
On August 8, 2025, Lifezone’s wholly owned subsidiary, Kabanga Nickel Limited, entered into a $60 million senior secured bridge loan facility agreement with Taurus Mining Finance Fund No. 2 L.P. acting as mandated lead arranger and agent. The facility is available for further drawdowns until November 29, 2026, and supports the advancement of the Kabanga Nickel Project by funding the development of critical early-stage work and infrastructure as the company progresses towards securing long-term project financing. The facility has a scheduled maturity date of July 31, 2027, with an option available to Kabanga Nickel Limited to extend the term by an additional six months. The loan bears an interest rate of 9.25% per annum on drawn amounts and is subject to an arrangement fee of 2.25% and a commitment fee of 2.50%.
Lifezone is subject to financial covenants requiring it to maintain a current ratio of at least 1.1:1 on a consolidated basis while any amounts remain outstanding under the facility. In addition, Kabanga Nickel Limited must maintain a minimum cash balance of $5 million in secured bank accounts, of which at least $4 million must be held in freely tradable
currencies and no more than $1 million in Tanzanian shillings or South African rand. Lifezone has complied with all covenants that it is required to meet on, or before, 30 June 2026.
As part of the facility, Lifezone Metals issued 2.5 million warrants exercisable for its ordinary shares to the lenders. The warrants carry an exercise price of $5.42 and expire five years from the date of issuance. Availability of borrowings under the facility is subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions precedent. We believe this financing represents a major milestone in advancing the Kabanga Nickel Project and strengthens Lifezone's position as it moves towards securing project financing. The warrants were fair valued at $2.26 per unit based on the following assumptions:

On August 29, 2025, Lifezone received the first tranche of $20 million ($19.7 million net of transaction costs) under the bridge loan from Taurus Mining Finance Fund No. 2 L.P. On March 16, 2026, Lifezone received a partial drawdown of $5 million as part of a second tranche and a further $16.7 million was received on April 29, 2026 under the second tranche. The third and final tranche of $18.3 million is expected to be disbursed in the third quarter of 2026.

Deferred financing cost
In connection with the senior secured bridge loan facility, Lifezone incurred financing costs which were recognized as deferred financing costs. These costs, including the fair value of $5.65 million for warrants issued, are directly attributable to the financing. These financing costs are allocated on a pro-rata basis to the initial and any subsequent drawdowns unless the costs relate specifically to a particular drawdown.
As at June 30, 2026, total deferred financing costs were $10.56 million (December 31, 2025: $8.66 million). As at June 30, 2026, $41.70 million of the total $60 million available had been drawn by Lifezone. As a result, $8.17 million (December 31, 2025: $3.44 million) of the deferred financing costs are set off against the debt and the remaining $2.39 million (December 31, 2025: $5.22 million) are deferred as an asset (included in the current asset line "Deferred financing costs" in the consolidated interim statements of financial position) and will be deducted from the debt when subsequent amounts are drawn.
As consideration for waiving the requirement that the Government of Tanzania execute an amendment to the Framework Agreement prior to the second drawdown, Lifezone Metals agreed to issue 500,000 common share purchase warrants (the “Additional Warrants”) to Taurus if the amendment was not completed within 90 days of the second utilization date. The amendment to the Framework Agreement had not been completed within the stipulated 90-day period and, accordingly, Lifezone Metals issued the Additional Warrants on June 29, 2026. The Additional Warrants entitle the holder to acquire up to 500,000 ordinary shares of Lifezone Metals at an exercise price of $6.25 per share and expire on June 29, 2031. The Additional Warrants were fair valued at $1.08 million, using the key assumptions in the table below and recognized as deferred financing costs, with a corresponding credit recorded in warrant reserve.

Deferred financing costs are amortized on an effective interest rate basis from the date of the drawdowns to the date of the expiry of the facility.
Fair value of the senior secured bridge loan facility
The senior secured bridge loan facility is measured at amortized cost. As at June 30, 2026, its carrying amount was $34,835,408 (December 31, 2025: $16,677,872). As at June 30, 2026, its estimated fair value was $37,831,452 (December 31, 2025: $19,063,612).
19.3. Warrant liability
On November 12, 2025, Lifezone Metals issued an aggregate of 4,411,764 warrants as part of a 2025 Offering. Each warrant is exchangeable for one ordinary share and each warrant was issued with an exercise price of $4.00 and is exercisable for a period of 4 years from the issue date. The warrants do not meet the definition of equity under IAS 32 because they provide for settlement on a net cash or share basis and allow adjustments to the number of shares and the exercise price under certain circumstances. The warrants also include a downround protection for the holder. If Lifezone Metals issues shares at a price per share less than the then current exercise price of a warrant, the exercise price will be reduced to the greater of (i) such lower price per share or (ii) $2.50. Consequently, these warrants are recorded as derivative financial liability under IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments. A Monte Carlo simulation analysis was used to measure the fair value of the warrant liability, as at June 30, 2026, with the following assumptions: volatility of share price of 75%, risk-free interest rate of 3.90%, expected life of 3.37 years and share price of $3.88. As at December 31, 2025, the assumption for volatility of share price was 70%, the expected life was 3.87 years, the risk-free rate was 3.59% and Lifezone share price was $4.27.

The liability related to warrants is remeasured at the end of each period at fair value through profit or loss. The fair value of the warrants is classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. At each reporting date, the fair value of the liability related to warrants is determined using a Monte Carlo simulation analysis, which uses significant inputs that are not based on observable market data, hence the classification in Level 3.
A sensitivity analysis was performed to assess the impact of changes in the volatility of share price on the indicated value at June 30, 2026. For illustrative purposes, a 10% increase and a 10% decrease in the share price volatility were analyzed, holding all other assumptions constant. A 10% increase in the share price volatility would result in an increase in fair value by $0.91 million, while a 10% decrease in the share price volatility would result in a decrease in the fair value by $0.96 million.

Contingent Consideration [Abstract]  
Deferred consideration
21. Deferred consideration
On July 18, 2025 Lifezone Limited (“LZL”) entered into a definitive agreement with BHP to acquire BHP’s 17% equity interest in KNL. Upon closing, LZL owns 100% of KNL and all existing agreements with BHP, including the T2 Option Agreement, are terminated. As part of the transaction, Lifezone assumed control over 100% of the offtake from the Kabanga Nickel Project. As consideration, a fixed cash payment of $10 million is payable by LZL within 30 days after the earlier of: (i) 12 months after the FID at the Kabanga Nickel Project; or (ii) once Lifezone has raised $250 million in aggregate funding (whether through equity, debt or alternative sources). A second and final deferred cash payment is payable within 30 days after the period of 12 months following the achievement of first commercial production. The amount of the second payment is indexed to the share price performance of Lifezone Metals, with a reference share price of $4.16 per share and a reference amount of $28 million. The maximum amount of total consideration payable by Lifezone is limited to $83 million, combining the fixed and second cash payment, or reduced to $75 million if a RAP alignment has been achieved during a period of 12 months from July 18, 2025. RAP alignment is achieved if activities related to resettlement activities are aligned with the core objectives of IFC PS5 and measures are implemented and effective with respect to the prevention and mitigation of community member vulnerability and gender-based violence risks.

The deferred consideration is fair valued using the present value of discounted cash flows based on the expected amounts and timing of the future payments to BHP using a discount rate of 18.29% (December 31, 2025: 17.50%) and the share price of Lifezone Metals ordinary shares of $3.88 (December 31, 2025: $4.27).

As at June 30, 2026, the fair value was probability weighted using different scenarios that include a base case on the timing of FID as May 31, 2027, assuming to coincide with the completion of all conditions precedent under the project finance facility, and first commercial production as February 1, 2030; a delayed case that incorporates a 12-month delay on the base case estimates and an accelerated event case where payment to BHP is brought forward due to a change in control of the Kabanga Nickel Project.

The discount rate takes into consideration the risks in the cash flow forecasts and the cost of debt. A significant increase (decrease) in the discount rate, in isolation, would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. Changes in fair value can also occur when probability and timing assumptions relating to FID, first commercial production
or a change of control are revised. Changes in the fair value of the deferred consideration are recorded as a gain/loss on remeasurement of deferred consideration in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss). The fair value of the deferred consideration is categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

A sensitivity analysis was performed to assess the impact of changes in the discount rate, share price and delay on FID on the indicated value at June 30, 2026. For illustrative purposes, a 1% increase and a 1% decrease in the applied discount rate were analyzed, holding all other assumptions constant. A 1% increase in the discount rate would result in a decrease in fair value by $0.56 million, while a 1% decrease in the discount rate would result in an increase in the fair value by $0.59 million. A 10% increase or decrease in the share price of Lifezone Metals, holding all other assumptions constant would result in an increase or decrease in fair value by $0.93 million. A delay in FID by further 6 months would reduce the fair value by $0.50 million.

Lifezone Metals has one class of ordinary shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share.
Ordinary shares held in escrow (1,725,000 earnout units) have been excluded from the share capital in the table above. These shares will be released on the satisfaction of share price targets in two equal tranches if the daily VWAP of Lifezone Metals shares for any 20 trading days is greater than or equal to $14.00 ("Tranche 1") or $16.00 ("Tranche 2").
The shares will be forfeited in the event that the share price target is not met by July 6, 2028. Please refer to Note 23.3 for further details.
On April 23, 2026, Lifezone Metals closed a registered direct offering (the "2026 Offering") of 5,700,000 ordinary shares, with no warrants. The ordinary shares were sold at a purchase price of $4.40 per share. The net proceeds from the 2026 Offering were $23.3 million (after placement agent fees, commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by Lifezone). The net proceeds of this offering will be used for exploration activities in Burundi and Tanzania, the PGM Recycling Project, conducting Hydromet research and development at Simulus laboratory, and other general corporate and working capital purposes, including financing costs. The 2026 Offering was made pursuant to the Company’s registration statement on Form F-3 (File No. 333-281189), previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on August 1, 2024, and declared effective on August 16, 2024, and a prospectus supplement dated April 22, 2026.
On November 12, 2025, Lifezone Metals closed the 2025 Offering of (i) 4,411,764 ordinary shares and (ii) warrants to purchase up to 4,411,764 ordinary shares. The ordinary shares were sold at a purchase price of $3.40 per share ($3.21 after deducting underwriting fees and commissions) and each warrant to purchase ordinary shares is for an exercise price equal to $4.00 per share, exercisable from the date of issuance, and will expire four years from the date of issuance. The net proceeds from the 2025 Offering were $14 million (after underwriting fees and commission). The 2025 Offering was made pursuant to the Company’s registration statement on Form F-3 (File No. 333-281189), previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on August 1, 2024, and declared effective on August 16, 2024, and a prospectus supplement dated November 10, 2025.
Non-controlling Interest
NCI deficit is $1,062,825 as at June 30, 2026 and $998,960 as at December 31, 2025.
In January 2021, KNL and the Government of Tanzania established TNCL, a Tanzanian company, in order to develop, process, and refine future products from the Kabanga Nickel Project. Through the Treasury Registrar, the Government of Tanzania holds a non-dilutable free-carried interest representing 16% of TNCL's issued share capital. The Government of Tanzania's 16% interest in the arrangement is presented as an NCI in Lifezone's consolidated financial statements.
As a result of Lifezone making a further investment of $2 million in Lifezone Recycling US, LLC on May 2, 2025, Glencore's interest in Lifezone Recycling US, LLC reduced from 6% to 5.44% and is presented as NCI in the consolidated financial statements of Lifezone.

2023 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Plan”)
Following the consummation of the Business Combination, Lifezone adopted the 2023 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2023 Plan”) in order to give Lifezone a competitive advantage in attracting, retaining, awarding and motivating directors, officers, employees and consultants by granting equity and equity-based awards. The 2023 Plan permits the grant of options to purchase Lifezone Ordinary Shares, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares, restricted stock units, or other equity or equity-related awards, in each case, in respect of Lifezone Ordinary Shares and cash incentive awards, thus enhancing the alignment of employee and shareholders' interests.
The initial share limit under the 2023 Plan is the number of Lifezone Ordinary Shares equal to 10% of fully-diluted share capital of Lifezone Metals as of immediately following the consummation of the Business Combination.
The total share-based payment expense is as follows:

23.1. Share-based payments - Stock Options
On May 7, 2026, Lifezone Metals granted 1,164,597 stock options under the Plan with an exercise price of $4.81 and an expiry date of May 7, 2031. The stock options vest in three equal tranches on November 3, 2026, May 7, 2027, and August 7, 2028. The grant date fair value of these stock options was $3,540,000.
On August 14, 2025, Lifezone Metals granted 1,583,085 stock options under the Plan with an exercise price of $4.40 and an expiry date of August 14, 2030. The stock options vest in three equal tranches on November 1, 2025, August 14, 2026, and August 14, 2027. The grant date fair value of these stock options was $3,387,000.
The fair value of the options was determined on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and using the following key assumptions:

23.2. Share-based payments - RSUs
On July 1, 2024, Lifezone Metals granted 2,600,000 RSU awards under the Plan, each representing the right for participants to receive 1 share in Lifezone Metals. On July 1, 2024, 933,333 RSUs vested, with the remaining 1,666,667 vesting under market price performance conditions of $14.50 per share and $16.00 per share based on the daily VWAP of the shares for any 20 Trading Days. The vesting period is five years commencing on July 1, 2024.
On December 1, 2025, Lifezone Metals canceled 1,500,000 RSUs from the total of 1,666,667 RSUs that were originally granted on July 1, 2024 and remained unvested. As a substitute for the canceled RSUs Lifezone Metals granted new 1,500,000 RSUs that are not subject to any performance conditions and vest equally in three installments on April 7, 2026, September 7, 2026 and April 7, 2027 subject to an exercise price of $0.0001 per unit.
Cancellation of an award accompanied by the concurrent grant of a replacement award is accounted for as a modification of the terms of the canceled award. The incremental value is measured as the excess of the fair value of the replacement awards over the fair value of the canceled awards at the cancellation date of December 1, 2025. Lifezone considered Monte Carlo simulation method as the most appropriate model for determining the fair value for its canceled RSUs. The option-pricing model requires Lifezone to make several assumptions, including share price, expected volatility, expected term, risk-free interest rate, and expected dividends.
The total incremental share-based compensation of this replacement is $2,970,000, of which $1,752,518 is expensed as share-based payments in the six months ended June 30, 2026 (June 30, 2025: $nil). The canceled RSUs with market performance conditions were independently valued using the Monte Carlo simulation with key assumptions of risk-free rate of 3.60%, dividend yields of 0.00%, expected volatility of 70% and expected lives of 3.6 years. The fair value of replacement RSUs is based on the market value of the underlying shares at the date of grant.

Earnings (loss) per share
24. Earnings (loss) per share
Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the income (loss) for the period attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period.
Diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the income (loss) attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period, plus the weighted average number of ordinary shares that would be issued on conversion of all the dilutive potential ordinary shares into ordinary shares.
The following table sets forth the reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used in the computation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per ordinary share for the six months ended June 30, 2026, and June 30, 2025.

Financial Risk Review [Abstract]  
Financial risk review
25. Financial risk review
This note presents information about Lifezone’s exposure to financial risks and the group’s management of capital. Lifezone’s risk management is coordinated by its directors and Lifezone does not operate any hedging operations or does not buy or sell any financial derivatives. The most significant financial risks to which Lifezone is exposed are described below.
Market risks
Market risks affecting Lifezone are comprised of credit risk, foreign exchange rate risk, liquidity risk and interest rate risk. Financial instruments affected by market risk include cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, trade payables, accrued liabilities and convertible debentures.
a)Credit risk
Set out below is the credit risk exposure of Lifezone’s financial assets as at June 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025. The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure and at the reporting date was:

Other receivables123,754 133,647 
 Total
38,066,652 21,204,521 

b)Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk arises from the possibility that Lifezone will not be able to meet its financial liability obligations as they fall due. Lifezone has historically been supported financially by its shareholders and minority interest partners. Lifezone expects to fund its capital requirements and ongoing operations through current cash reserves, equity, mezzanine, debt funding, or monetizing the offtake from the Kabanga Nickel Project.
The table below represents the expected timing of payments on trade payables, lease and debt liabilities, excluding provisions and warrant liability. The timing and amounts of payments under the deferred consideration to BHP are based on Lifezone's base-case assumptions in the table below. Any further delays to FID may further delay the timing of the deferred consideration to BHP.

c)Foreign currency risk
Lifezone has assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than its functional currency, USD. Lifezone incurs expenditures in non-U.S. dollar currencies, primarily GBP, AUD and TZS. These transactions are not generally hedged. As a result, the movement of such currencies could adversely affect Lifezone’s results of operations and financial position.

Sensitivity analysis
The following table demonstrates the estimated sensitivity to a 10% increase (decrease) in USD against the relevant foreign currencies as a result of translating Lifezone's foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities.

-10%43,872 34,784 
In management’s opinion, the sensitivity analysis is unrepresentative of the inherent foreign exchange risk as the period end exposure does not reflect the exposure during the period.
d)Interest rate risk
Lifezone is exposed to interest rate risk from the interest it earns on cash and the interest it pays on the convertible debentures as described in Note 19.1. A 1% increase (decrease) in SOFR rates, with all other variables held constant, would result in an increase (decrease) of approximately $266,313 to interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2026, ($255,533 for the six months ended June 30, 2025).
Capital management
For the purpose of Lifezone’s capital management, capital includes issued capital, share premium and other equity reserves attributable to the equity holders of Lifezone Metals, as the parent entity of Lifezone. The primary objective of Lifezone’s capital management is to maximize shareholder value.
Management assesses Lifezone’s capital requirements in order to maintain an efficient overall financing structure while avoiding excessive leverage. Lifezone manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. In order to maintain or adjust its capital structure, Lifezone expects to fund its capital requirements and ongoing operations through current cash reserves, equity, mezzanine, alternative or debt funding or monetizing the offtake from the Kabanga Nickel Project.

Contingent liabilities
26. Contingent liabilities
As detailed in Note 17, Lifezone has recognized a provision of $3.44 million as a result of a Court ruling in relation to a historical withholding tax assessment in Tanzania. Lifezone has not provided for any additional interest charges as, based on ongoing discussions with the TRA and the terms of the Framework Agreement negotiations described below, any material outflow is not considered probable. However, if the TRA does not agree to waive the additional interest charges, there is a possibility that KNCL could incur an additional liability of $4.71 million (TZS 12.36 billion).

Additionally, in 2021, KNCL filed an appeal before the Tax Revenue Appeals Tribunal against the TRA to challenge the TRA’s claim of withholding tax imposed on services. Similar to the case mentioned above, these services were also provided by non-resident entities during a period when KNCL was jointly owned by Barrick and Glencore. The amount of tax and interest in dispute is $187,245 (TZS 491.76 million). As of the date of approval of these financial statements, a court appeal hearing date was still pending on this case.

In May 2025, the TRA issued an audit assessment for the 2023 tax year, alleging unpaid taxes of $709,472 (TZS 1.86 billion), interest of $68,419 (TZS 179.69 million), and a penalty of $5.45 million (TZS 14.33 billion). The penalty pertains to the alleged failure or delay in disclosing contractors' information related to withholding taxes. In May 2026, the TRA issued a notice for outstanding amounts adding a further accrued interest charge of $283,054 (TZS 0.74 billion) to the previously assessed amounts. Lifezone is contesting the assessment in full and has obtained independent tax and legal advice in support of its position. Based on this advice and a review of the relevant facts and circumstances, management considers it is probable that the company will successfully defend its position. Accordingly, no provision has been recognized in respect of the 2023 audit assessment and the associated interest and penalty, as management considers it probable that no payment will ultimately be required.

During the six months ended June 30, 2026, Lifezone and its Tanzanian entities have been in active discussions with the Government of Tanzania to amend the existing Framework Agreement. As part of these discussions, the parties have agreed on a mechanism to resolve several outstanding matters with the TRA. Based on the advice received and the advanced stage of the Framework Agreement negotiations, management considers it probable that Lifezone will not be required to pay the additional interest charges of $4.71 million (TZS 12.36 billion) in relation to the withholding tax assessment nor the $5.45 million (TZS 14.33 billion) penalty in relation to the 2023 audit assessment. As a result, no provision has been recognized in respect of these amounts. However, as the amended Framework Agreement has not yet been signed or become effective, there remains a risk that the waiver or resolution mechanism may not be finalized on the terms currently anticipated. Should the Framework Agreement not be completed or its terms differ materially from those currently agreed, Lifezone could be exposed to contingent liabilities in respect of the matters described above, excluding the amounts already provided.

Basis of preparation Basis of preparation
Lifezone’s unaudited consolidated interim financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2026, have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34, “Interim Financial Reporting” under International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and Interpretations (collectively IFRS Accounting Standards) and are reported in U.S. dollars (“USD” or “$”).
These unaudited consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with Lifezone Metals' audited consolidated financial statements contained on its Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2025, as some disclosures from the annual consolidated financial statements have been condensed or omitted. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2026, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2026.
These unaudited consolidated interim financial statements incorporate the financial statements of Lifezone Metals and its controlled subsidiaries as of June 30, 2026.
Control exists when Lifezone has the power, directly or indirectly, to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. The unaudited consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of Lifezone Metals and its subsidiaries. Intercompany balances, transactions, income and expenses are eliminated on consolidation.
The information furnished herein reflects all normal recurring entries, that are in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods reported.
The unaudited consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis unless otherwise stated.
Going concern Going concern
Management has assessed the going concern assumptions of Lifezone during the preparation of these unaudited consolidated interim financial statements. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, Lifezone's loss was $6.93 million (six months ended June 30, 2025: income of $2.25 million) and accumulated losses at June 30, 2026, was $474.9 million (December 31, 2025: $468.1 million).
As of June 30, 2026, Lifezone had consolidated cash and cash equivalents of $37.3 million, compared with $20.1 million as of December 31, 2025. Please refer to the unaudited consolidated interim cash flow statements for details on usage and receipt of cash during the six months ended June 30, 2026. Available cash includes the receipts of a registered direct offering that closed on April 23, 2026 (the "2026 Offering") of 5,700,000 ordinary shares, with no warrants. The ordinary shares were sold at a purchase price of $4.40 per share. The net proceeds from the 2026 Offering were $23.33 million (after placement agent fees, commissions, and estimated offering expenses payable by Lifezone).
Lifezone's liquidity includes cash and cash equivalents of $37.29 million as of June 30, 2026, and a further $18.3 million of the senior secured bridge loan facility subject to satisfaction of conditions precedent, which remained undrawn as of June 30, 2026. The facility is available for further drawdowns until November 29, 2026, and supports advancing the Kabanga Nickel Project by funding pre-FID critical early-stage work and project financing activities. The facility has a scheduled maturity date of July 31, 2027, with an option available to Kabanga Nickel Limited to extend the term by an additional six months subject to meeting the required conditions. Funds made available under the senior secured bridge loan facility cannot be used for any purpose other than the Kabanga Nickel Project.
The unaudited consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activities, the realization of assets and the discharge of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. Lifezone has not generated significant revenues from operations and, as is common with many exploration-stage mining companies, Lifezone raises financing for its exploration, study, and research and development activities in discrete tranches. As of June 30, 2026, Lifezone has net current liabilities of $17.13 million and based on Lifezone’s current and anticipated liquidity and funding requirements, and notwithstanding the funds received from the 2026 Offering, Lifezone will need to raise additional capital in the next 12 months to fund its corporate expenditure, operations and project developments, in particular for the Kabanga Nickel Project, and to maintain the minimum cash balance covenant required under the senior secured bridge loan facility. Based on our assessment, additional funding will be required in early 2027 for both the Kabanga Nickel Project and the other two segments of the business. In this assessment, we consider completing all of our forecast pre-FID activities, which will consume all of the available funds from the senior secured bridge loan facility earmarked for the Kabanga Nickel Project. In addition, additional capital will need to be raised, or an agreement reached to refinance the senior secured bridge loan, which has a scheduled maturity date of July 31, 2027, with an option available to Kabanga Nickel Limited to extend the term by an additional six months.
We also consider the Board of Directors making the FID for the Project during Q1 2027, which will materially increase our investment cash flows and require raising equity, including a farm-down at the Kabanga Nickel Project level, and debt through a multi-sourced project financing solution. With concerted efforts, this date could be moved forward, but FID could happen later, depending on the lender's assessment of the Framework Agreement. In the event Lifezone issues additional equity in the future, shareholders could face significant dilution in their holdings.
Lifezone’s future operating losses and capital requirements may vary materially from those currently planned and will depend on many factors including Lifezone’s growth rate, the execution of various growth projects, and the demand for the Hydromet Technology, and capital costs in relation to the development of the Kabanga Nickel Project, and the demand and prices for the minerals we envision extracting in our Metals Extraction business and as well as for Lifezone’s working capital requirements.
To finance the development of the Kabanga Nickel Project, Lifezone is pursuing a diversified funding strategy potentially including equity offerings, strategic partnerships, mezzanine financing and bridge and project-level debt. Active discussions are ongoing with offtake partners, financial and strategic investors, development finance institutions, and commercial lenders.
If required, to maintain liquidity, management could consider reducing operating costs, pausing capital expenditures, restructuring interest-bearing debt, or maximizing external revenues from the Simulus hydromet laboratory based in Perth, Australia. Additionally, Lifezone may receive the proceeds from any exercise of any Warrants in cash. Each Lifezone warrant represents the right to purchase one ordinary Lifezone share at a price ranging from $4.00 to $11.50 per share in cash. Please refer to Note 22 for further details on the number of warrants outstanding, exercise prices and expiry dates of the warrants.

In the event that Lifezone is unable to secure sufficient funding, it may not be able to fully develop its projects, and this may have a consequential impact on the carrying value of the related exploration and evaluation assets and the investment in its subsidiaries as well as the going concern status of Lifezone. Given the nature of Lifezone’s current activities, it will remain dependent on equity, mezzanine, alternative or debt funding or monetizing the offtake from the Kabanga Nickel Project until such time as Lifezone becomes self-financing from the commercial production of metals and minerals and royalties received from intellectual property rights linked to its Hydromet Technology.
These conditions give rise to a substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, as there can be no assurance that Lifezone will be able to raise the required financing through a combination of equity offerings, debt financings, strategic alliances, alternative financings, and off-take agreements and/or licensing arrangements in the future. Notwithstanding this substantial doubt, the directors of Lifezone consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis as they believe that Lifezone will be able to raise further funding as set out above prior to any breach of covenants. The financial statements do not include the adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary if Lifezone were unable to continue as a going concern.

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the unaudited consolidated interim financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the annual consolidated financial statements of Lifezone Metals for the year ended December 31, 2025, except for the adoption of new standards effective as of January 1, 2026.
Lifezone has not early adopted any standard, interpretation, or amendment that was issued but is not yet effective.
The following amendment applies for the first time in 2026, but does not have an impact on the unaudited consolidated interim financial statements of Lifezone:
•Amendments to the Classification and Measurement and Impairment of Financial Instruments (Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7): The amendments clarify that a financial liability is derecognized on the settlement date and introduce an accounting policy choice to derecognize financial liabilities settled using an electronic payment system before the settlement date. Other clarifications include the classification of financial assets with ESG-linked features via additional guidance on the assessment of contingent features. Clarifications have been made to non-recourse loans and contractually linked instruments. Additional disclosures are introduced for financial instruments with contingent features and equity instruments classified at fair value through OCI.
•Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 – Contracts Referencing Nature-dependent Electricity: These amendments introduce application guidance on the classification and measurement of contracts that reference nature-dependent electricity (such as renewable energy contracts), including considerations for whether such contracts meet the “own-use” scope exception or should be accounted for as derivatives. The amendments also clarify how variability linked to nature-dependent factors should be assessed in determining whether contractual cash flows meet the solely payments of principal and interest (“SPPI”) criterion.
•Annual Improvements to IFRS Accounting Standards – Volume 11 : These annual improvements include a series of minor amendments to various IFRS Accounting Standards aimed at clarifying wording, correcting unintended
inconsistencies, and improving guidance. The amendments address, among other matters, aspects of classification and measurement under IFRS 9, disclosure requirements under IFRS 7, and consequential wording improvements in other standards.
Management anticipates that all relevant pronouncements will be adopted for the first period beginning on or after the effective date of the pronouncement. The standards and interpretations that are issued, but are not yet effective, up to the date of issuance of Lifezone’s financial statements that Lifezone reasonably expects may have an impact on its disclosures, financial position or performance when applied at a future date, are disclosed below.
•IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements - applies from January 1, 2027. Lifezone is currently assessing the effect of this new accounting standard and amendments.
Basis of consolidation Basis of consolidation
The unaudited consolidated interim financial statements comprise the financial statements of Lifezone Metals and its controlled subsidiaries. Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when Lifezone obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when Lifezone loses control of the subsidiary.
Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the equity holders of Lifezone Metals as the parent entity of Lifezone and to the non-controlling interests, even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance. When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies in line with Lifezone’s accounting policies. All intra-group assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses, and cash flows relating to transactions between members of Lifezone are eliminated on full consolidation.
A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction. If Lifezone loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognizes the related assets (including goodwill), liabilities, non-controlling interest, and other components of equity, while any resultant gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss. Any investment retained is recognized at fair value.
Lifezone attributes total comprehensive income or loss of subsidiaries between the owners of Lifezone Metals as the parent entity and the non-controlling interests based on their respective ownership interests.
Foreign Private Issuer status Foreign Private Issuer status
Given that Lifezone Metals is incorporated in the Isle of Man, it is considered a Foreign Private Issuer (“FPI”) under the securities laws of the U.S. and the rules of the NYSE.
In our capacity as an FPI, we are exempt from certain rules under the Exchange Act that impose certain disclosure obligations and procedural requirements for proxy solicitations under Section 14 of the Exchange Act. Moreover, we are not required to file periodic reports and financial statements with the SEC as frequently or as promptly as United States companies whose securities are registered under the Exchange Act. In addition, we are not required to comply with Regulation FD, which restricts the selective disclosure of material information. NYSE listing rules include certain accommodations in the corporate governance requirements that allow FPI, such as us, to follow “home country” corporate governance practices in lieu of the otherwise applicable corporate governance standards of NYSE.
FPIs may prepare their financial statements using US GAAP; or IFRS pursuant to Regulation S-X Rule 4-01(a)(2). In the case of FPIs that use the English-language version of IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, or IASB IFRS, no reconciliation to US GAAP is needed.
We may take advantage of these exemptions until such time as we are no longer an FPI. We are required to determine our status as an FPI on an annual basis at the end of each second fiscal quarter.
We would cease to be an FPI at such time as more than 50% of our outstanding voting securities are held by United States residents and any of the following three circumstances apply:
1.the majority of our executive officers or directors are United States citizens or residents.
2.more than 50% of our assets are located in the United States or
3.our business is administered principally in the United States.
If we lose our FPI status, we would be required to comply with Exchange Act reporting and other requirements applicable to U.S. domestic issuers, which are more detailed and extensive than the requirements for FPIs.
FPI status requires implementing procedures and processes to address public company regulatory requirements and customary practices.
Emerging Growth Company status Emerging Growth Company status
We are an Emerging Growth Company (“EGC”), as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). As such, we are eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not EGCs. This includes, but is not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act” or “SOX”), reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in their periodic reports and proxy statements and exemptions from the requirements of holding a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.
We will continue to qualify as an EGC until the earliest of:
1.the last day of the fiscal year during which we had total annual gross revenues of US$1,235,000,000, as such amount is indexed for inflation every 5 years by the SEC or more;
2.the last day of our fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act;
3.the date on which we have, during the previous 3-year period, issued more than US$1,000,000,000 in non-convertible debt; or
4.the date on which we are deemed to be a “Large Accelerated Filer”, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 12b-2. Lifezone would become a Large Accelerated Filer if Lifezone has a public float of greater than $700 million, has been filing periodic reports for at least 12 months, has previously filed at least one annual report, and is not a smaller reporting company.
Section 103 of the JOBS Act provides that an EGC is not required to comply with the requirement to provide an auditor’s report on ICFR under Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. An EGC still has to perform management’s assessment of internal control over financial reporting (SOX 404(a) and the disclosure requirement of Item 308(a) of Regulation S-K).
Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions Significant accounting judgments, estimates, and assumptions
The preparation of Lifezone’s unaudited consolidated interim financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, including contingent assets and liabilities, and the accompanying disclosures. Actual results may differ from these estimates and uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in the future period.
The judgments, estimates and assumptions applied in these unaudited consolidated interim financial statements, including the key sources of estimation uncertainty, were the same as those applied in Lifezone’s latest annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Restatement of disclosure related to unused tax losses and temporary differences for which no deferred tax asset has been recognized Restatement of disclosure related to unused tax losses and temporary differences for which no deferred tax asset has been recognizedDeferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilized. Unrecognized deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available, against which the unrecognized deferred tax assets can be used. During our assessment and the review of the tax returns of Lifezone group entities for the year ended December 31, 2025, management assessed that the earlier unrecognized pre-trading capital expenses at Kabanga Nickel Limited do not represent a potential future temporary difference, leading us to exclude these amounts from unrecognized deferred tax assets as disclosed in Note 14. In addition, we are now showing the trading losses of LZ Services and Kabanga Nickel Limited as trading losses, separately from pre-trading losses of all other subsidiaries. Following an audit by the Tanzania Revenue Authority ("TRA") of the corporation tax return of TNCL for the year ended December 31, 2024, in which the TRA disallowed capital allowances claimed in respect of exploration and evaluation assets, management revised TNCL's corporation tax return for the year ended December 31, 2025 to exclude capital allowances on exploration and evaluation assets, such that no temporary difference arises in respect of these assets. Please refer to Note 14 for further details.
