Lifezone Metals (LZM) launched a primary offering of 4,411,764 ordinary shares at $3.40 per share, together with warrants to purchase 4,411,764 ordinary shares at a $4.00 exercise price.

The offering warrants will not be listed.

Shares outstanding were 79,372,538 immediately before the offering and are expected to be 83,784,302 after, assuming no warrant exercises. Recent developments include acquiring BHP’s 17% stake in KNL with capped contingent consideration and a $60 million secured bridge loan with Taurus, including warrants, to support Kabanga early works.

Insights

Primary equity with attached warrants raises ~$13.4M for Kabanga.

Lifezone Metals is selling 4,411,764 shares at $3.40 with matching warrants at a $4.00 strike. Proceeds are directed to Kabanga exploration and staffing, aligning capital with project advancement. The warrants are immediately exercisable for four years and are not exchange-listed.

The filing lists a 30-day lock-up for the company, officers, and directors, and sets a beneficial ownership limit of 9.99% (or 19.99% with notice), which moderates concentration risk. Cash-flow goes to the issuer; warrant exercises could be cash or cashless, affecting future proceeds.

Context includes the acquisition of BHP’s 17% KNL stake with capped contingent payments and a $60M bridge loan at 9.25% interest to fund early works. Actual impact depends on execution at Kabanga and market conditions for any warrant exercises.

ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT

 

This prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus are part of a registration statement on Form F-3 (File No. 333-281189) that we filed with the SEC, that was declared effective by the SEC on August 16, 2024, using a “shelf” registration process.

We have not, and the Underwriters have not, authorized anyone to provide you with different information. If anyone provides you with different or inconsistent information, you should not rely on it. This prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities other than the securities described in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus or an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy such securities in any circumstances in which such offer or solicitation is unlawful. You should assume that the information appearing in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein and any related free writing prospectus is accurate only as of their respective dates. Our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may have changed materially since those dates. You should read this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus, the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein and any free writing prospectus that we have authorized for use in connection with this offering, in their entirety before making an investment decision.

 

We further note that the representations, warranties and covenants made by us in any agreement that is filed as an exhibit to any document that is incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus were made solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreement, including, in some cases, for the purpose of allocating risk among the parties to such agreements, and should not be deemed to be a representation, warranty or covenant to you.

PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

We report under International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. None of the financial statements incorporated by reference in this prospectus were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. We present our financial statements in U.S. dollars.

 

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING MINERAL RESERVES AND MINERAL RESOURCES

 

We have reported our mineral resource estimates in accordance with the requirements of subpart 1300 of Regulation S-K (“SK 1300”). Under SK1300, the SEC recognizes estimates of “measured mineral resources”, “indicated mineral resources” and “inferred mineral resources.” Readers should not assume that any part or all of the mineralization in the “measured mineral resources”, “indicated mineral resources” and “inferred mineral resources” categories will ever be converted into a higher category of mineral resources or into mineral reserves. Mineralization described using these terms has a greater amount of uncertainty as to their existence and feasibility than mineralization that has been characterized as reserves. Further, “inferred resources” have a greater amount of uncertainty as to their existence and as to whether they can be mined legally or economically. Therefore, shareholders are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of the inferred resources exist.

 

TECHNICAL AND THIRD-PARTY INFORMATION

 

The disclosure contained or incorporated by reference herein regarding our mineral resource estimates has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of SK1300.

 

DRA Projects (Pty.) Ltd and Sharron Sylvester, BSc (Geol), RPGeo AIG (10125), Technical Director - Geology at OreWin Pty Ltd prepared the Kabanga Nickel Project Feasibility Study Technical Report Summary titled “Feasibility Study - Technical Report Summary Kabanga Nickel Project”. Both are Qualified Persons as defined in S-K 1300 and are considered independent of Lifezone Metals.

 

We obtained certain statistical data, market data and other industry data and forecasts used or incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement from publicly available information. While we believe that the statistical data, industry data, forecasts and market research are reliable, we have not independently verified the data, and do not make any representation as to the accuracy of the information.

PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT SUMMARY

This summary is not complete and does not contain all of the information that you should consider before investing in our securities. You should carefully read and consider this entire prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and the documents, including the financial statements and related notes, and information incorporated by reference herein and therein, and including the information under “Risk Factors” contained in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein, before making an investment decision. If you invest in our securities, you are assuming a high degree of risk.

 

Overview

 

We are committed to delivering cleaner and more responsible metals production and recycling. Through the application of our Hydromet Technology, we offer the potential for lower energy consumption, lower emissions, and lower cost metals production compared to traditional smelting.

 

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 $420 million invested by Lifezone Metals and previous stakeholders. The Kabanga Nickel Project represents an opportunity to develop a large-scale, long-life, high-grade nickel, copper and cobalt mineral reserve with robust economics, with a well laid out development path backed by an experienced technical and management team.

 

We released the Initial Assessment in the first half of 2025, followed by the Feasibility Study (“FS”) on July 18, 2025 and marking a significant and historic milestone in the nearly five-decade journey of the Kabanga Nickel Project. The FS outlines a development plan for the Kabanga Nickel Project, focused on the construction and operation of a 3.4 million tonnes per annum underground mine and concentrator. The economic results highlight the project’s potential to deliver attractive returns over a long life, supported by high-grade Mineral Reserve and Resources and a low-cost operating profile. The proposed hydrometallurgical refinery at Kahama, located in the Buzwagi Special Economic Zone, remains an important strategic component of Lifezone Metals’s vertically integrated development plan, although it was not included in the scope of the FS. Our partnership with the Government of Tanzania has been instrumental in advancing the project, and Lifezone Metals remains aligned in our commitment to responsible development and long-term value creation.

 

Through our U.S.-based recycling partnership, we are working to demonstrate that our Hydromet Technology can process and 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.

 

Recent Developments

 

Lifezone continues to be engaged in advanced discussions with several major counterparties and financial investors regarding potential project-level investment, long-term strategic partnerships, or divestiture. The Company has not reached any agreement with any third party, and is under no obligation to proceed with any such transaction. 

 

Acquisition of BHP’s equity interest in KNL

 

On July 18, 2025 Lifezone Limited entered into a definitive agreement with BHP to acquire BHP’s 17% equity interest in KNL, the majority owner of the Kabanga Nickel Project. All existing agreements between BHP, Lifezone Limited, KNL or any affiliates and with respect to the Kabanga Nickel Project, including the T2 Option Agreement, have been terminated.

 

Following completion of the transaction, Lifezone Limited owns 100% of KNL, which in turn holds an 84% interest in TNCL, the Tanzanian operating company for the Kabanga Nickel Project. The remaining 16% of TNCL is held by the Government of Tanzania.

 

Lifezone Limited assumed full control of 100% of the offtake from the Kabanga Nickel Project.

 

S-1

 

 

The key terms of the arrangement include the following:

 

FID Payment: A fixed cash payment of $10 million is payable by Lifezone to BHP within 30 days after the earlier of: (i) 12 months after the Final Investment Decision (FID) at Kabanga; or (ii) Lifezone having raised $250 million in aggregate funding (whether through equity, debt or alternative sources).

 

First Commercial Production Payment: A second deferred cash payment is payable by Lifezone to BHP within 30 days after the period of 12 months following the achievement of the first commercial production. The amount is indexed to Lifezone’s share price performance, with a reference share price of $4.16 per share and a reference amount of $28 million. An index factor of 0.7x applies, meaning that a 10% increase in Lifezone’s share price would result in a $1.96 million increase in the payment ($28 million x 10% x 0.7). Based on an illustrative price of $4.50 per share, the payment would total $30 million.

 

Total consideration cap: The maximum amount payable by Lifezone is capped at $83 million, which maximum amount is reduced to $75 million if a Resettlement Action Plan (“RAP”) Trigger Event occurs. The RAP Trigger Event is defined as the independent verification that the project’s Resettlement Action Plan has been developed and implemented in material alignment with the International Finance Corporation’s Performance Standard 5 (IFC PS5). If a RAP Trigger Event is confirmed to have occurred within 12 months, the total consideration payable to BHP will be reduced to a maximum of $75 million.

 

Lock-Up and Right of First Offer: BHP currently holds certain of Lifezone’s outstanding shares, and BHP has agreed not to sell such shares for 12 months. After this period, BHP must first offer any shares it intends to sell to Lifezone before potentially transferring them to third parties, subject to customary terms.

 

$60 million Loan Facility with Taurus

 

On August 11, 2025, the Company announced that its indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, KNL (the “Borrower”), entered into a $60 million secured bridge loan facility agreement (the “Bridge Loan Facility Agreement”) with Taurus Mining Finance Fund No. 2, L.P. (“Taurus”), a leading global provider of structured finance to the mining sector. The bridge loan is intended to support advancement of the Kabanga Nickel Project, by funding the development of critical early works and infrastructure development as the Company moves toward securing long-term project financing. The senior secured bridge loan provides essential funding to maintain project momentum during the execution readiness phase, bridging the period between Feasibility Study completion and Final Investment Decision.

 

As part of the transaction, the Company issued warrants to Taurus to purchase 2,500,000 of the Company’s ordinary shares, exercisable at an exercise price of $5.42 per share. The warrants will expire five years from the date of issuance.

 

The facility matures on July 31, 2027, and includes an option for the Borrower to extend the maturity date by six months. If the Borrower elects to extend, the Company will be required to issue an additional 1,500,000 warrants to Taurus on substantially the same terms.

 

The facility is secured by a security interest in the shares that Lifezone Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, holds in the Borrower, and by security interests in other assets relating to the Kabanga Nickel Project, including all of the assets of Borrower. The loan is also guaranteed by other subsidiaries of the Company.

 

The outstanding amounts under the facility bear interest at an annual rate of 9.25%, payable in arrears quarterly, and the principal amount is repayable in full on the maturity date. The loan was subject to an arrangement fee of 2.25% and a commitment fee of 2.5% per annum on undrawn amounts.

 

On August 29, 2025, the Company drew the first tranche of $20 million under the facility. The availability of the second drawdown is further subject to Tanzanian-law security being granted over the shares and assets of certain Tanzanian subsidiaries of the Company. KNL has the option to extend the term of the loan by an additional six months.

Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company and a Foreign Private Issuer

 

Emerging Growth Company

 

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Securities Act, as modified by 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 “emerging growth companies” including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in 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. If some investors find Lifezone Metals’s securities less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our securities and the prices of the Ordinary Shares may be more volatile.

 

We will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of: (1) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of the date on which Ordinary Shares were offered in connection with a business combination of Lifezone Limited, Lifezone Holdings Limited and GoGreen Investments Corporation on July 6, 2023, (b) in which we have total annual gross revenues of at least $1.235 billion, or (c) in which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of our ordinary shares that are held by non-affiliates is equal to or exceeds $700 million as of the end of the prior fiscal year’s second fiscal quarter; and (2) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt during the prior three-year period. References herein to “emerging growth company” have the meaning associated with it in the JOBS Act.

 

Foreign Private Issuer

 

We are considered a “foreign private issuer” under the securities laws of the United States and the rules of the NYSE. Under the applicable securities laws of the United States, “foreign private issuers” are subject to different disclosure requirements than U.S. domiciled issuers. As a foreign private issuer, we are not subject to the SEC’s proxy rules. Under the NYSE’s rules, a “foreign private issuer” is subject to less stringent corporate governance and compliance requirements and, subject to certain exceptions, the NYSE permits a “foreign private issuer” to follow its home country’s practice in lieu of the listing requirements of the NYSE. Accordingly, our shareholders may not receive the same protection afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to all of the NYSE’s corporate governance requirements.

 

We intend to take all actions necessary to maintain compliance as a foreign private issuer under the applicable corporate governance requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the rules adopted by the SEC and the NYSE corporate governance rules and listing standards.

 

Because we are a foreign private issuer, our directors and senior management are not subject to short-swing profit and insider trading reporting obligations under Section 16 of the Exchange Act. They will, however, be subject to the obligations to report changes in share ownership under Section 13 of the Exchange Act and related SEC rules.

 

Corporate Information

Lifezone Metals’ registered office is located at 2nd Floor, St. George’s Court, Upper Church Street Douglas, Isle of Man, IM1 1EE. Our telephone number at that address is +44 (0)1624 850 500.

DESCRIPTION OF WARRANTS

 

The following is a brief summary of certain terms and conditions of the Ordinary Share Warrants being offered in this offering. The following description is subject in all respects to the provisions contained in the Ordinary Share Warrants.

 

Description of Ordinary Share Warrants

 

Form

 

The Ordinary Share Warrants will be issued as individual warrant agreements to each individual purchaser of an Ordinary Share Warrant. The form of Ordinary Share Warrants will be filed as an exhibit to a Current Report on Form 6-K that we will furnish to the SEC and incorporate by reference into this prospectus supplement..

 

Term

 

The Ordinary Share Warrants will expire 4 years after the date of issuance.

 

Exercisability

 

The Ordinary Share Warrants are exercisable immediately after issuance until the date that is four years after the date of issuance. The Ordinary Share Warrants will be exercisable, at the option of each holder, in whole or in part by delivering to us a duly executed exercise notice and by payment in full of the exercise price in immediately available funds for the number of shares of Ordinary Shares purchased upon such exercise. As an alternative to payment of the exercise price in immediately available funds, the holder may, in the Company’s sole discretion and subject to certain conditions set forth in the Ordinary Share Warrants, elect to exercise the Ordinary Share Warrant through a cashless exercise, in which case the holder would receive upon such exercise the net number of shares of our Ordinary Shares determined according to the formula set forth in the Ordinary Share Warrants and we would not receive any cash proceeds upon such exercise. No fractional shares of our Ordinary Shares will be issued in connection with the exercise of the Ordinary Share Warrants. As to any fraction of an Ordinary Share that a holder of an Ordinary Share Warrant is entitled to, the Company, at its election, may either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the exercise price or round down to the next whole share.

 

Exercise Limitations

 

Under the Ordinary Share Warrants, we may not effect the exercise of any Ordinary Share Warrant, and a holder will not be entitled to exercise any portion of any Ordinary Share Warrants that, upon giving effect to such exercise, would cause: the aggregate number of shares of our Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by such holder (together with its affiliates) to exceed 9.99% (or, at the election of the purchaser, 19.99%) of the number of issued and outstanding shares of our Ordinary Shares following such exercise. However, any holder of an Ordinary Share Warrant may increase or decrease such percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 19.99% upon at least 61 days’ prior written notice from the holder to us.

 

Exercise Price

 

The exercise price of our Ordinary Shares purchasable upon the exercise of the Ordinary Share Warrants is $4.00 per share (the “Exercise Price”). The exercise price of the Ordinary Share Warrants and the number of shares of our Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Ordinary Share Warrants is subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of certain stock dividends and distributions, stock splits, stock combinations, reclassifications or similar events affecting our Ordinary Shares or dilutive issuances as well as upon any pro-rata distribution of assets, including cash, stock or other property, to our stockholders. Except in connection with an Exempt Issuance (as defined in the Ordinary Share Warrant) or deemed issuances pursuant to payment-in-kind or similar provisions of Ordinary Share Equivalents (as defined in the Ordinary Share Warrant) outstanding on the original issue date, if the Company, at any time while the Ordinary Share Warrant is outstanding, shall issue Ordinary Shares or Ordinary Share Equivalents, at a price per share less than the then current Exercise Price then, the Exercise Price shall be reduced to the greater of (i) such lower price per share or (ii) $2.50.

Subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in the Ordinary Share Warrants and applicable laws, the Ordinary Share Warrants may be offered for sale, sold, transferred or assigned without our consent.

 

Exchange Listing

 

There is no established trading market for the Ordinary Share Warrants, and we do not expect a market to develop. We do not intend to apply for the listing of the Ordinary Share Warrants on the New York Stock Exchange or any other national securities exchange or nationally recognized trading system.

 

Fundamental Transactions

 

Upon the consummation of a fundamental transaction (as described in the Ordinary Share Warrants, and generally including any reorganization, recapitalization or reclassification of our Ordinary Shares, the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of our properties or assets, our consolidation or merger with or into another person, in which the Company is not the surviving entity, the acquisition of more than 50% of our voting power of our capital stock, or any person or group becoming the beneficial owner of 50% or more of the voting power of our outstanding capital stock), the holders of the Ordinary Share Warrants will be entitled to receive, upon exercise of the Ordinary Share Warrants, the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property that such holders would have received had they exercised the Ordinary Share Warrants immediately prior to such fundamental transaction, without regard to any limitations on exercise contained in the Ordinary Share Warrants.

 

No Rights as a Stockholder

 

Except by virtue of such holder’s ownership of shares of our Ordinary Shares, the holder of an Ordinary Share Warrant does not have the rights or privileges of a holder of our Ordinary Shares, including any voting rights or the right to receive dividends, until such holder exercises the Ordinary Share Warrants.

RISK FACTORS

 

You should carefully consider the risks described below and in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2024, as updated by our subsequent filings filed with the SEC, some of which are incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement, as well as the other information included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, including our consolidated financial statements and the related notes, before you decide to buy our securities. The risks and uncertainties described below and incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus are not the only risks facing us. We may face additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial. Any of the risks described below or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, and any such additional risks, could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. In such case, you may lose all or part of your original investment.

 

Risks Related to this Offering

 

Sales of a substantial number of Ordinary Shares, or the perception that such sales may occur, may adversely impact the price of our Ordinary Shares.

 

Sales of a substantial number of Ordinary Shares in the public markets could depress the market price of our Ordinary Shares and impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities. We cannot predict the effect that future sales of our Ordinary Shares would have on the market price of our Ordinary Shares.

 

Future sales of our Ordinary Shares, or other securities exercisable or convertible into our Ordinary Shares in the public market or other financings could cause the price of our Ordinary Shares to fall.

 

Sales of a substantial number of our Ordinary Shares, or other securities exercisable or convertible into our Ordinary Shares in the public market, or the perception that these sales or other financings might occur, could depress the market price of our Ordinary Shares and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities. A substantial majority of our outstanding Ordinary Shares are, and all of the Ordinary Shares to be sold in this offering upon issuance will be, freely tradable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act unless these common shares are owned or purchased by “affiliates” as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act. In addition, our Ordinary Shares and the Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding options and warrants will be eligible for sale in the public market to the extent permitted by applicable vesting requirements and, in some cases, subject to compliance with the requirements of Rule 144. As a result, these Ordinary Shares can be freely sold in the public market upon issuance, subject to restrictions under applicable securities laws.

 

If you purchase securities in this offering, you will experience immediate and substantial dilution in the net tangible book value of your Ordinary Shares.

 

The effective offering price per Ordinary Share in this offering substantially exceeds the as-adjusted book value per share of our tangible assets after subtracting our liabilities. As a result, investors purchasing our Ordinary Shares in this offering may experience immediate and substantial dilution in the net tangible book value of the shares they purchase. After giving effect to the sale of the Ordinary Shares in this offering at a price per share of $3.40, and based on our as adjusted net tangible book value as of June 30, 2025, if you purchase our securities in this offering, you will suffer substantial and immediate dilution of $3.55 per share in net tangible book value. For a more detailed discussion of the foregoing, see the section entitled “Dilution” below. To the extent outstanding options or warrants are exercised, there will be further dilution to new investors.

 

S-7

 

 

You may experience future dilution as a result of future equity offerings.

 

To raise additional capital, we may in the future offer additional Ordinary Shares or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for Ordinary Shares at prices that may not be the same as the price per share in this offering. We may sell Ordinary Shares or other securities in any other offering at a price per share that is less than the price per share paid by investors in this offering, and investors purchasing shares or other securities in the future could have rights superior to existing shareholders. The price per share at which we sell additional Ordinary Shares, or securities convertible or exchangeable into Ordinary Shares, in future transactions may be higher or lower than the price per share paid by investors in this offering.

 

U.S. holders of our Ordinary Shares or Warrants may suffer adverse tax consequences as a result of our passive foreign investment company status.

 

We believe that we were likely a passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, for the tax year ended December 31, 2024, and based on currently available information, we expect that we may be a PFIC for our current tax year ending December 31, 2025 and may be treated as a PFIC in future taxable years. If we are a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. Holder (as defined under “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations”) holds our Ordinary Shares or Warrants, it would likely result in adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences for such U.S. Holder. U.S. Holders should carefully read “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations” for more information and consult their own tax advisors regarding the likelihood and consequences if we are treated as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes, including, in the case of a U.S. Holder of our Ordinary Shares, the advisability of making a “qualified electing fund” election (including a protective election) or a mark-to-market election, which may mitigate certain possible adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences but may result in an inclusion in gross income without receipt of such income.

 

There is no public market for the Ordinary Share Warrants being offered in this offering.

 

There is no public trading market for the Ordinary Share Warrants being offered in this offering, and we do not expect a market to develop. In addition, we do not intend to apply to list the Ordinary Share Warrants on any securities exchange or nationally recognized trading system, including The New York Stock Exchange. Without an active market, the liquidity of the Ordinary Share Warrants will be limited. See the section of this prospectus supplement entitled “Description of Warrants” for additional details.

 

We may not receive any proceeds from the exercise of any Ordinary Share Warrants.

 

The Ordinary Share Warrants may be exercised by way of a cashless exercise, meaning that the holder may not pay a cash purchase price upon exercise, but instead would receive upon such exercise the net number of our ordinary shares determined according to the formula set forth in the Ordinary Share Warrants. Accordingly, if the Ordinary Share Warrants are exercised on a cashless basis, we will not receive any proceeds from the exercise thereof.

 

Holders of any Ordinary Share Warrants purchased in this offering will have no rights as holders of our ordinary shares until such holders exercise their Ordinary Share Warrants and acquire our ordinary shares.

 

Until holders of the Ordinary Share Warrants acquire our ordinary shares upon exercise of the Ordinary Share Warrants, holders of the Ordinary Share Warrants will have no rights with respect to our ordinary shares underlying such Ordinary Share Warrants, including with respect to dividends and voting rights. Upon exercise of the Ordinary Share Warrants, the holders will be entitled to exercise the rights of a holder of our ordinary shares with respect to the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of such Ordinary Share Warrants only as to matters for which the record date occurs after the exercise date.

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

We estimate that we will receive net proceeds from this offering of $13.4 million (determined after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated expenses of this offering).

 

The net proceeds of this offering will be used for Kabanga Nickel Project exploration, project staffing and for other general corporate purposes.

 

The expected use of the net proceeds from this offering represents our current intentions based upon our present plan and business conditions. As of the date of this prospectus supplement, we cannot specify with certainty all of the particular uses for the net proceeds to be received upon the completion of this offering. Depending on the outcome of our business activities and other unforeseen events, our plans and priorities may change and we may apply the net proceeds of this offering in different amounts than we currently anticipate.

 

No Positive Operating Cash Flow

 

We had no positive operating cash flow for the year ended December 31, 2024, and the six months ended June 30, 2025. If we continue to have no positive cash flow into the future, net proceeds from the sale of the Ordinary Shares hereunder may need to be allocated to fund our operations. We may, from time to time, issue securities (including debt securities) other than pursuant to this prospectus supplement.

S-11

 

 

DILUTION

 

If you invest in our securities in this offering, your interest will be diluted to the extent of the difference between the effective offering price per Ordinary Share and the net tangible book value per Ordinary Share after this offering.

 

As of June 30, 2025, we had net tangible book value of approximately $(25.7) million, or $(0.32) per share. Net tangible book value per share represents the amount of total tangible assets less total liabilities divided by the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding.

 

After giving effect to the issuance and sale in this offering of Ordinary Shares at a public offering price of $3.40 per Ordinary Share, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us of $1,639,899, our as-adjusted net tangible book value as of June 30, 2025 would have been approximately $(12,345,700), or approximately $(0.15) per Ordinary Share. This amount represents an immediate increase in as-adjusted net tangible book value of approximately $0.18 per Ordinary Share to our existing shareholders and an immediate dilution in net tangible book value of approximately $3.55 per Ordinary Share to new investors purchasing Ordinary Shares in this offering.

 

Dilution per Ordinary Share to new investors is determined by subtracting as-adjusted net tangible book value per Ordinary Share after this offering from the offering price per Ordinary Share paid by new investors.

 

The following table illustrates this dilution on a per Ordinary Share basis to new investors (unaudited):

 

Public offering price per Ordinary Share     $3.40 
Net tangible book value (deficit) per Ordinary Share as of June 30, 2025  $(0.32)     
Increase in as adjusted net tangible book value per Ordinary Share attributable to this offering  $0.18      
As-adjusted net tangible book value (deficit) per Ordinary Share as of June 30, 2025 after giving effect to this offering       $(0.15)
Dilution in net tangible book value per Ordinary Share to new investors in this offering       $3.55 

 

The table above and calculations are based on 79,295,691 Ordinary Shares outstanding as of June 30, 2025.

 

To the extent that options, warrants or convertible securities outstanding as of June 30, 2025, have been or may be exercised or converted or other shares issued, investors purchasing our Ordinary Shares in this offering may experience further dilution. In addition, subsequent to June 30, 2025, we issued warrants in connection with our Bridge Facility Financing Transaction and issued shares in connection with a quarterly interest payment on our convertible debentures. In the future, we may choose to raise additional capital due to market conditions or strategic considerations even if we believe we have sufficient funds for our current or future operating plans. To the extent that additional capital is raised through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the issuance of these securities could result in further dilution to our shareholders.

 

DIVIDEND POLICY

 

We have not paid any cash dividends on the Ordinary Shares to date. It is presently intended that we will retain our earnings for use in business operations and, accordingly, it is not anticipated that our Board will declare dividends in the foreseeable future.

MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

 

The following discussion describes the material U.S. federal income tax considerations relating to the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of Ordinary Shares and Warrants by U.S. Holders (as defined below) pursuant to this offering. This discussion applies to U.S. Holders that purchase Ordinary Shares or Warrants pursuant to this prospectus and hold such Ordinary Shares or Warrants as capital assets within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code (generally, property held for investment). This discussion is based on the United States Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”), its legislative history, existing final, temporary, and proposed U.S. Department of Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder and administrative and judicial interpretations thereof, all as in effect on the date hereof and all of which are subject to change or differing interpretations, possibly with retroactive effect. This discussion does not address all of the U.S. federal income tax considerations that may be relevant to specific U.S. Holders in light of their particular circumstances or to U.S. Holders subject to special treatment under U.S. federal income tax law (such as banks and certain other financial institutions, insurance companies, broker-dealers and traders in securities or other persons that generally mark their securities to market for U.S. federal income tax purposes, tax-exempt entities, retirement plans, regulated investment companies, real estate investment trusts, certain former citizens or residents of the United States, persons who hold Ordinary Shares or Warrants as part of a “straddle,” “hedge,” “conversion transaction,” “synthetic security” or integrated investment, persons that have a “functional currency” other than the U.S. dollar, persons that own directly, indirectly or through attribution 10% or more of the voting power or value of our Ordinary Shares, “controlled foreign corporations”, “passive foreign investment companies”, corporations that accumulate earnings to avoid U.S. federal income tax, persons subject to special tax accounting rules under Section 451(b) of the Code, persons who acquired Ordinary Shares or Warrants pursuant to the exercise of any employee share option or otherwise as compensation, partnerships and other pass-through entities, and investors in such pass-through entities). This discussion does not address U.S. federal net investment income, U.S. federal alternative minimum tax, any U.S. state or local or non-U.S. tax considerations or any U.S. federal estate or gift tax considerations.

 

As used in this discussion, the term “U.S. Holder” means a beneficial owner of Ordinary Shares or Warrants that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (i) an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States, (ii) a corporation (or an entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof, or the District of Columbia, (iii) an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source or (iv) a trust (a) with respect to which a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over its administration and one or more United States persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (b) that has validly elected under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

 

If an entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds Ordinary Shares or Warrants, the U.S. federal income tax treatment relating to an investment in Ordinary Shares or Warrants will depend in part upon the status and activities of such entity and the particular partner. Any such entity should consult its own tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences applicable to it and its partners of the purchase, ownership, and disposition of Ordinary Shares or Warrants. Persons considering an investment in Ordinary Shares or Warrants should consult their own tax advisors as to the particular tax consequences applicable to them relating to the purchase, ownership, and disposition of Ordinary Shares or Warrants, including the applicability of U.S. federal, state, and local tax laws, and non-U.S. tax laws.

 

Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations

 

Specific adverse U.S. federal income tax rules apply to U.S. persons owning shares of a passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”).

 

In general, a corporation organized outside the United States will be treated as a PFIC for any taxable year in which, after applying certain look-through rules, either (i) at least 75% of its gross income for such taxable year is “passive income,” (the “PFIC income test,”) or (ii) on average at least 50% of its assets in a taxable year, ordinarily determined based on fair market value and averaged on a quarterly basis, are assets that produce passive income or are held for the production of passive income (the “PFIC asset test”). Passive income for this purpose generally includes, among other things, dividends, interest, royalties and rents (other than royalties and rents derived from the active conduct of a trade or business), and gains from the sale or exchange of property that gives rise to passive income. Generally, in determining whether a non-U.S. corporation is a PFIC, a proportionate share of the income and assets of each corporation in which it owns, directly or indirectly, at least a 25% interest (by value) is taken into account.

 

S-13

 

 

Under certain attribution rules, if the Company is a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. Holder holds Ordinary Shares and one of the Company’s non-U.S. corporate subsidiaries is also a PFIC (i.e., a lower-tier PFIC), such U.S. Holder would be treated as owning a proportionate amount (by value) of the shares of the lower-tier PFIC and would be taxed under the PFIC excess distribution regime on distributions by the lower-tier PFIC and on gain from the disposition of shares of the lower-tier PFIC even though such U.S. Holder may not receive the proceeds of those distributions or dispositions. Each U.S. Holder is advised to consult its tax advisors regarding the application of the PFIC rules to the Company’s non-U.S. subsidiaries.

 

Based upon the composition of our income and assets, nature of our activities, and market capitalization for our tax year ended December 31, 2024, we believe we were likely a PFIC for the tax year ended December 31, 2024 and, based on currently available information, we expect that we may be a PFIC for the current tax year ending December 31, 2025, and possibly for subsequent tax years. Because PFIC status is a factual determination based on income, assets, and activities for the entire taxable year, it is not possible to determine PFIC status for any taxable year until after the close of the taxable year. In addition, the composition of our income and assets will be affected by how, and how quickly, we use the cash proceeds from this offering in our business. The determination of whether we were, are, or will be, a PFIC for a tax year depends, in part, on the application of complex U.S. federal income tax rules, which are subject to differing interpretations. Thus, it is possible that the IRS may challenge our classification of certain income or assets as non-passive, or our valuation of our goodwill and other intangibles that are not reflected on our books, all of which could affect whether we are classified as a PFIC for the current or subsequent taxable years. Accordingly there can be no assurance regarding our PFIC status for the current or any future taxable year In addition, our United States counsel expresses no opinion with respect to our PFIC status for any taxable year.

  

It is not entirely clear how various aspects of the PFIC rules apply to the Warrants. A person who has an option to acquire stock in a PFIC may be considered to own such stock in the PFIC for certain purposes of the PFIC rules under Proposed Treasury Regulations.

 

If we are a PFIC for any taxable year in which a U.S. Holder holds Ordinary Shares or Warrants, we will be treated as a PFIC for subsequent years, even if we would not be classified as a PFIC in those years. If we are treated as a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. Holder holds Ordinary Shares or Warrants and, in the case of Ordinary Shares, the U.S. Holder does not make either a qualified electing fund (“QEF”) election or mark-to-market election, as further discussed below, for the first taxable year in which we are treated as a PFIC and in which the U.S. Holder holds (or is deemed to hold) such shares, such U.S. Holder would generally be subject to special and adverse tax rules with respect to (i) any gain recognized by the U.S. Holder on the sale or other disposition of its Ordinary Shares or Warrants and (ii) any “excess distribution” made to the U.S. Holder (generally, any distributions to such U.S. Holder during a taxable year of the U.S. Holder that are greater than 125% of the average annual distributions received by such U.S. Holder in respect of the Ordinary Shares during the three preceding taxable years of such U.S. Holder or, if shorter, such U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Ordinary Shares) (together, the “Excess Distribution Rules”).

 

Under these rules:

 

the U.S. Holder’s gain or excess distribution will be allocated ratably over the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Ordinary Shares or Warrants;

 

the amount allocated to the U.S. Holder’s taxable year in which the U.S. Holder recognized the gain or received the excess distribution, or to the period in the U.S. Holder’s holding period before the first day of our first taxable year in which we are a PFIC, will be taxed as ordinary income;

 

the amount allocated to other taxable years (or portions thereof) of the U.S. Holder and included in its holding period will be taxed at the highest tax rate in effect for that year and applicable to the U.S. Holder; and

 

an additional tax equal to the interest charge generally applicable to underpayments of tax will be imposed on the U.S. Holder with respect to the tax attributable to each such other taxable year of the U.S. Holder.

 

S-14

 

 

A U.S. Holder may mitigate certain, but not all, of these adverse consequences in respect of the Ordinary Shares by making and maintaining a timely and valid QEF election (if eligible to do so) to include in income its pro rata share of our net capital gains (as long-term capital gain) and other earnings and profits (as ordinary income), on a current basis, in each case whether or not distributed, in the taxable year of the U.S. Holder in which or with which our taxable year ends. However, for any tax year in which we are a PFIC and have no net income or gain, U.S. Holders that have made a QEF election would not have any such income inclusions as a result of the QEF election.

 

If a U.S. Holder makes a QEF election with respect to its Ordinary Shares in a year after our first taxable year as a PFIC in which the U.S. Holder holds (or is deemed to hold) Ordinary Shares, then notwithstanding such QEF election, the excess distribution rules discussed above, adjusted to take into account the current income inclusions resulting from the QEF election, will continue to apply with respect to such U.S. Holder’s Ordinary Shares, unless the U.S. Holder makes a purging election under the PFIC rules. Under one type of purging election, the U.S. Holder will be deemed to have sold such Ordinary Shares at their fair market value and any gain recognized on such deemed sale will be treated as an excess distribution, as described above. As a result of such purging election, the U.S. Holder will have additional basis (to the extent of any gain recognized on the deemed sale) and, solely for purposes of the PFIC rules, a new holding period in the Ordinary Shares.

 

If a U.S. Holder makes a QEF election with respect to its Ordinary Shares, and the excess distribution rules discussed above do not apply to such shares (because of a timely QEF election or a purge of the PFIC taint pursuant to a purging election, as described above), any gain recognized on the sale of the Ordinary Shares generally will be taxable as capital gain and no additional tax charge will be imposed under the PFIC rules.

 

Under current law, a U.S. Holder may not make a QEF election with respect to its Warrants. Proposed Treasury Regulations provide that if a U.S. Holder sells or otherwise disposes of such Warrants (other than upon exercise or lapse of such Warrants) and we were a PFIC at any time during the U.S. Holder’s holding period of such Warrants, any gain recognized generally will be treated as an excess distribution, taxed as described above. If a U.S. Holder that exercises such Warrants properly makes and maintains a QEF election with respect to the newly acquired Ordinary Shares (or has previously made a QEF election with respect to Ordinary Shares), the QEF election will generally apply to the newly acquired Ordinary Shares.

 

In order to comply with the requirements of a QEF election, a U.S. Holder must receive a PFIC Annual Information Statement from us that provides the information necessary for U.S. Holders to make or maintain a QEF election. If we determine that we are a PFIC for any taxable year, upon written request, we will endeavor to provide to a U.S. Holder such information as the IRS may require, including a PFIC Annual Information Statement, in order to enable the U.S. Holder to make and maintain a QEF election, but there is no assurance that we will timely provide such required information. There is also no assurance that we will have timely knowledge of our status as a PFIC in the future or of the required information to be provided.

 

Alternatively, a U.S. Holder may be able to avoid the rules described above by making a mark-to-market election with respect to the Ordinary Shares, provided that such shares are regularly traded on the NYSE or any other qualified exchange. If a U.S. Holder makes the mark-to-market election, it generally will recognize as ordinary income any excess of the fair market value of the Ordinary Shares at the end of each taxable year in which we are a PFIC over their adjusted tax basis, and will recognize an ordinary loss in respect of any excess of the adjusted tax basis of the Ordinary Shares over their fair market value at the end of the taxable year (but only to the extent of the net amount of income previously included as a result of the mark-to-market election). If a U.S. Holder makes this election, the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the Ordinary Shares will be adjusted to reflect the income or loss amounts recognized. Any gain recognized on the sale or other disposition of Ordinary Shares in a year in which we are a PFIC will be treated as ordinary income and any loss will be treated as an ordinary loss (but only to the extent of the net amount of income previously included as a result of the mark-to-market election, with any excess treated as capital loss).

 

However, because a mark-to-market election cannot be made for any lower-tier PFICs that we may own, a U.S. Holder will generally continue to be subject to the PFIC rules discussed above with respect to such holder’s indirect interest in any investments we hold that are treated as an equity interest in a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a result, it is possible that any mark-to-market election will be of limited benefit. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the tax issues raised by lower-tier PFICs.

 

A U.S. Holder that owns (or is deemed to own) shares in a PFIC during any taxable year of the U.S. Holder, may have to file an IRS Form 8621 (whether or not a QEF or mark-to-market election is made) and such other information as may be required by the United States Treasury Department. Failure to do so, if required, will extend the statute of limitations until such required information is furnished to the IRS.

 

The rules regarding PFICs, the QEF, purging, and mark-to-market elections are very complex and are affected by various factors in addition to those described above. Accordingly, U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors concerning the application of the PFIC rules to the Ordinary Shares and Warrants under their particular circumstances.

 

THE PFIC RULES ARE VERY COMPLEX, ARE AFFECTED BY VARIOUS FACTORS IN ADDITION TO THOSE DESCRIBED ABOVE, AND THEIR APPLICATION IS UNCERTAIN. U.S. HOLDERS ARE STRONGLY URGED TO CONSULT WITH THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS TO DETERMINE THE APPLICATION OF THE PFIC RULES TO THEM IN THEIR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES AND ANY RESULTING TAX CONSEQUENCES. 

 

Distributions

 

Subject to the discussion above under “Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations,” a U.S. Holder that receives a distribution, including a constructive distribution, with respect to Ordinary Shares generally will be required to include the gross amount of such distribution in gross income as a dividend when actually or constructively received to the extent of the U.S. Holder’s pro rata share of the Company’s current and/or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles).

 

S-15

 

 

To the extent a distribution received by a U.S. Holder is not a dividend because it exceeds the U.S. Holder’s pro rata share of the Company’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, it will be treated first as a tax-free return of capital and reduce (but not below zero) the adjusted tax basis of the U.S. Holder’s Ordinary Shares. A dividend generally will be taxed to a U.S. Holder at ordinary income tax rates if we are a PFIC for the tax year of such distribution or the preceding tax year. To the extent the distribution exceeds the adjusted tax basis of the U.S. Holder’s Ordinary Shares, the remainder will be taxed as capital gain. Because the Company may not account for the Company’s earnings and profits in accordance with U.S. federal income tax principles, U.S. Holders should expect all distributions to be reported to them as dividends. Distributions on Ordinary Shares that are treated as dividends generally will constitute income from sources outside the United States for foreign tax credit purposes and generally will constitute passive category income. Such dividends will not be eligible for the “dividends received” deduction generally allowed to corporate shareholders with respect to dividends received from U.S. corporations.

 

Dividends we pay to a non-corporate U.S. Holder generally will constitute “qualified dividends” that will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at the lower applicable long-term capital gains tax rate only if (i) the Ordinary Shares are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States, (ii) we are neither a PFIC nor treated as such with respect to a U.S. Holder (as discussed above under “Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations,”) for the taxable year in which the dividend is paid and the preceding taxable year, and certain holding period and other requirements are met. If such requirements are not satisfied, a non-corporate U.S. Holder may be subject to tax on the dividend at regular ordinary income tax rates instead of the preferential rate that applies to qualified dividend income. Each U.S. Holder is advised to consult its tax advisors regarding the availability of the reduced tax rate on dividends with regard to its particular circumstances.

  

Possible Constructive Distributions with Respect to Warrants 

 

The terms of the Warrants may provide for an adjustment to the number of Ordinary Shares for which Warrants may be exercised or to the exercise price of the Warrants in certain events. An adjustment which has the effect of preventing dilution generally is not taxable. However, in this scenario, U.S. Holders of the Warrants would be treated as receiving a constructive distribution from the Company if, for example, the adjustment increases the Warrant holder’s proportionate interest in the Company’s assets or earnings and profits (e.g., through an increase in the number of Ordinary Shares that would be obtained upon exercise or through a decrease in the exercise price of the Warrants) as a result of a distribution of cash or other property to the U.S. Holders of Ordinary Shares. Any such constructive distribution would be treated in the same manner as if U.S. Holders of Warrants received a cash distribution from the Company generally equal to the fair market value of the increased interest and would be taxed in a manner similar to distributions to U.S. Holders of Ordinary Shares described herein. Please see the section entitled “Distributions” above. For certain information reporting purposes, the Company is required to determine the date and amount of any such constructive distributions. Proposed Treasury Regulations, which the Company may rely on prior to the issuance of final Treasury Regulations, specify how the date and amount of any such constructive distributions are determined.

 

Sale, Exchange or Other Disposition of Ordinary Shares and Warrants

 

Subject to the discussion above under “Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations,” a U.S. Holder generally will recognize capital gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes upon the sale, exchange or other disposition of Ordinary Shares or Warrants in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between the amount realized (i.e., the amount of cash plus the fair market value of any property received) on the sale, exchange or other disposition and such U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its Ordinary Shares or Warrants. Such capital gain or loss generally will be long-term capital gain taxable at a reduced rate for non-corporate U.S. Holders or long-term capital loss if, on the date of sale, exchange or other disposition, the Ordinary Shares or Warrants were held by the U.S. Holder for more than one year. Any capital gain of a non-corporate U.S. Holder that is not long-term capital gain is taxed at ordinary income rates. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.

 

Any gain or loss recognized from the sale or other disposition of Ordinary Shares or Warrants will generally be gain or loss from sources within the United States for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes.

 

Cash Exercise of a Warrant

 

Subject to the PFIC rules discussed above, a U.S. Holder generally will not recognize gain or loss on the acquisition of Ordinary Shares upon the exercise of a Warrant for cash. The U.S. Holder’s tax basis in its Ordinary Shares received upon exercise of a Warrant generally will be an amount equal to the sum of the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the Warrant and the exercise price of such Warrant. It is unclear whether a U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Ordinary Shares received upon exercise will commence on the date of exercise of the Warrants or on the date following the date of exercise of the Warrants, but in either case, the holding period would not include the period during which the U.S. Holder held the Warrant.

 

Cashless Exercise of a Warrant

 

The tax characterization of a cashless exercise of a Warrant is not clear under current United States federal tax law. Due to the absence of authority on the United States federal income tax treatment of a cashless exercise, there can be no assurance which, if any, of the alternative tax characterizations and resultant tax consequences would be adopted by the IRS or upheld by a court of law. Accordingly, U.S. Holders should consult with their own tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of a cashless exercise.

 

A cashless exercise could potentially be characterized as any of the following for United States federal income tax purposes: (i) not a realization event and thus tax-deferred, (ii) a realization event that qualifies as a tax-deferred “recapitalization,” or (iii) a taxable realization event. The tax consequences of all three characterizations are generally described below. U.S. Holders should consult with their own tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of a cashless exercise.

 

S-16

 

 

Subject to the PFIC rules discussed above, if a cashless exercise were characterized as either not a realization event or as a realization event that qualifies as a recapitalization, a U.S. Holder would not recognize any gain or loss on the exchange of Warrants for Ordinary Shares. A U.S. Holder’s basis in the Ordinary Shares received would generally equal the U.S. Holder’s aggregate basis in the exchanged Warrants.

 

If the cashless exercise were not a realization event, it is unclear whether a U.S. Holder’s holding period in the Ordinary Shares would be treated as commencing on the date of exchange of the Warrants or on the immediately following date, but the holding period would not include the period during which the U.S. Holder held the Warrants. On the other hand, if the cashless exercise were characterized as a realization event that qualifies as a recapitalization, the holding period of the Ordinary Shares would include the holding period of the warrants exercised.

 

If the cashless exercise were treated as a realization event that does not qualify as a recapitalization, the cashless exercise could be treated in whole or in part as a taxable exchange in which gain or loss would be recognized by the U.S. Holder. Under this characterization, a portion of the Warrants to be exercised on a cashless basis would be deemed to have been surrendered in payment of the exercise price of the remaining portion of such warrants, which would be deemed to be exercised. In such a case, a U.S. Holder would effectively be deemed to have sold a number of Warrants having an aggregate value equal to the exercise price of the remaining Warrants deemed exercised. Subject to the PFIC rules discussed above, the U.S. Holder would recognize capital gain or loss in an amount generally equal to the difference between the value of the portion of the Warrants deemed sold and its adjusted tax basis in such Warrants (generally in the manner described in the section entitled “Sale, Exchange or Other Disposition of Ordinary Shares and Warrants” above), and the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in its Ordinary Shares received would generally equal the sum of the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the remaining Warrants deemed exercised and the exercise price of such Warrants. It is unclear whether a U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Ordinary Shares would commence on the date of exercise of the Warrants or on the date following the date of exercise of the Warrants, but the holding period would not include the period during which the U.S. Holder held the Warrants.

 

Redemption or Repurchase of Warrants for Cash

 

Subject to the PFIC rules discussed above, if the Company redeems the Warrants for cash (if permitted under the terms of the Warrant Agreement) or if the Company repurchases Warrants in an open market transaction, such redemption or repurchase generally will be treated as a taxable disposition to the U.S. Holder, taxed as described in the section entitled “Sale, Exchange or Other Disposition of Ordinary Shares and Warrants” above.

 

Expiration of a Warrant

 

If a Warrant is allowed to expire unexercised, a U.S. Holder generally will recognize a capital loss equal to such U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the Warrant. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.

 

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

 

Under U.S. federal income tax law and Treasury Regulations, certain categories of U.S. Holders must file information returns with respect to their investment in, or involvement in, a foreign corporation. For example, U.S. return disclosure obligations (and related penalties) are imposed on individuals who are U.S. Holders that hold certain specified foreign financial assets in excess of certain threshold amounts. The definition of specified foreign financial assets includes not only financial accounts maintained in foreign financial institutions, but also, unless held in accounts maintained by a financial institution, any stock or security issued by a non-U.S. person, any financial instrument or contract held for investment that has an issuer or counterparty other than a U.S. person and any interest in a foreign entity. U.S. Holders may be required to file certain U.S. information reporting returns with the IRS with respect to an investment in the Ordinary Shares or Warrants, including, among others, IRS Form 8938 (Statement of Specified Foreign Financial Assets). As described above under “Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations,” each U.S. Holder who is a shareholder of a PFIC must file an annual report containing certain information.

 

Dividends on and proceeds from the sale or other disposition of the Ordinary Shares or Warrants may be reported to the IRS unless the U.S. Holder establishes a basis for exemption. Backup withholding, currently at a rate of 24%, may apply to amounts subject to reporting if the holder (i) fails to provide an accurate United States taxpayer identification number or otherwise establish a basis for exemption, or (ii) is described in certain other categories of persons. However, U.S. Holders that are corporations generally are excluded from these information reporting and backup withholding tax rules. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules generally will be allowed as a refund or a credit against a U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability if the required information is furnished by the U.S. Holder on a timely basis to the IRS.

 

The discussion of reporting requirements set forth above is not intended to constitute a complete description of all reporting requirements that may apply to a U.S. Holder. A failure to satisfy certain reporting requirements may result in an extension of the time period during which the IRS can assess a tax, and under certain circumstances, such an extension may apply to assessments of amounts unrelated to any unsatisfied reporting requirement. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the backup withholding tax and information reporting rules.

 

EACH PROSPECTIVE INVESTOR IS URGED TO CONSULT ITS OWN TAX ADVISOR ABOUT THE TAX CONSEQUENCES TO IT OF AN INVESTMENT IN THE COMPANY’S ORDINARY SHARES OR WARRANTS IN LIGHT OF THE INVESTOR’S OWN CIRCUMSTANCES.

UNDERWRITING

 

We are offering our Ordinary Shares and Ordinary Share Warrants as described in this prospectus supplement through the underwriters listed in the table below. BTIG, LLC is acting as sole book-running manager of the offering and as representative of the underwriters. We have entered into an underwriting agreement with the underwriters. Subject to the terms and conditions of the underwriting agreement, we have agreed to sell to the underwriters, and each underwriter has severally agreed to purchase, at the public offering price less the underwriting discounts and commissions set forth on the cover page of this prospectus supplement, the number of Ordinary Shares and accompanying Ordinary Share Warrants listed next to its name in the following table:

 

   Number of
Shares
   Number of
Warrants
 
BTIG, LLC   3,088,235    3,088,235 
Red Cloud Securities Inc.   1,323,529    1,323,529 
Total:   4,411,764    4,411,764 

 

The underwriters have agreed to purchase all of the Ordinary Shares and Ordinary Share Warrants offered by this prospectus supplement, if any are purchased.

 

The underwriters are offering the Ordinary Shares and the accompanying Ordinary Share Warrants subject to various conditions and may reject all or part of any order. The underwriters have advised us that they propose initially to offer the Ordinary Shares and the accompanying Ordinary Share Warrants to the public at the public offering price set forth on the cover page of this prospectus supplement. After the Ordinary Shares and the accompanying Ordinary Share Warrants are released for sale to the public, the underwriters may change the offering price and other selling terms at various times.

 

The following table provides information regarding the amount of the discounts and commissions to be paid to the underwriters by us, before expenses:

 

   Per Share   Total 
Public offering price  $3.40   $14,999,998 
Underwriting discounts and commissions  $0.187   $825,000 
Proceeds to us, before expenses  $3.213   $14,174,998 

 

We estimate that our total expenses of the offering, excluding the estimated underwriting discounts and commissions, will be approximately $814,900, which includes the fees and expenses for which we have agreed to reimburse the underwriters, in an aggregate amount not to exceed $225,000.

 

We have agreed to indemnify the underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

 

S-18

 

 

We, our officers and directors have agreed to a 30-day “lock-up” with respect to our Ordinary Shares and other of our securities that they beneficially own, including securities that are convertible into ordinary shares and securities that are exchangeable or exercisable for Ordinary Shares. This means that, subject to certain exceptions, for a period of 30 days following the date of this prospectus supplement, we and such persons may not offer, sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of these securities without the prior written consent of BTIG, LLC as representative of the underwriters.

 

In connection with this offering, the underwriters may engage in stabilizing transactions, which involve making bids for, purchasing and selling Ordinary Shares in the open market for the purpose of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the Ordinary Shares while this offering is in progress. These stabilizing transactions may include making short sales of Ordinary Shares, which involve the sale by the underwriters of a greater number of Ordinary Shares than they are required to purchase in this offering, and purchasing Ordinary Shares on the open market to cover positions created by short sales.

 

The underwriters have advised us that, pursuant to Regulation M of the Securities Act, they may also engage in other activities that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of the Ordinary Shares, including the imposition of penalty bids. This means that if the representative of the underwriters purchases Ordinary Shares in the open market in stabilizing transactions or to cover short sales, the representative can require the underwriters that sold those shares as part of this offering to repay the underwriting discount received by them.

 

These activities may have the effect of raising or maintaining the market price of the Ordinary Shares or preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the Ordinary Shares, and, as a result, the price of the Ordinary Shares may be higher than the price that otherwise might exist in the open market. If the underwriters commence these activities, they may discontinue them at any time. The underwriters may carry out these transactions on the New York Stock Exchange, in the over-the-counter market or otherwise.

 

Our Ordinary Shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “LZM.” We do not intend to list the Ordinary Share Warrants offered hereby.

 

A prospectus supplement in electronic format may be delivered to potential investors by the underwriters. The prospectus supplement in electronic format will be identical to the paper version of such prospectus supplement. Other than the prospectus supplement in electronic format, the information on the underwriters’ websites and any information contained in any other website maintained by the underwriters is not part of this prospectus supplement or the registration statement of which this prospectus supplement forms a part.

 

Red Cloud Securities Inc. is not an SEC-registered broker-dealer or a FINRA member. However, Red Cloud Securities Inc., has engaged Marco Polo Securities, a broker-dealer registered with the SEC and FINRA, to act as its chaperone pursuant to Rule 15a-6 under the Exchange Act with respect to securities transactions effected by Red Cloud Securities Inc. with U.S. investors in connection with this offering. Marco Polo Securities is not an affiliate of Red Cloud Securities Inc.

Right of First Refusal

 

The underwriting agreement provides that for a period of nine months from the closing of the offering, we will grant BTIG the exclusive right of first refusal to be the sole sales agent on any “at-the-market offering” as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act, on terms and conditions consistent with standard industry terms for such transactions.

 

Other Relationships

 

Certain of the underwriters and their affiliates have provided to us and our affiliates in the past and may provide, from time to time, in the future certain commercial banking, financial advisory, investment banking and other services for us and such affiliates in the ordinary course of their business, for which they have received and may continue to receive customary fees and commissions. In addition, from time to time, certain of the underwriters and their affiliates may effect transactions for their own account or the account of customers, and hold on behalf of themselves or their customers, long or short positions in our debt or equity securities or loans, and may do so in the future.

 

The underwriters and their respective affiliates may also communicate independent investment recommendations, market color or trading ideas and/or publish or express independent research views in respect of such assets, securities or instruments and may at any time recommend to clients that they should acquire, long and/or short positions in such assets, securities and instruments.

DESCRIPTION OF SHARE CAPITAL

 

LZM is an Isle of Man company limited by shares and its affairs are governed by its amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (“A&R Articles of Association”) and the Companies Act 2006 of the Isle of Man (the “IOM Companies Act”) (each as amended or modified from time to time).

 

As provided in the A&R Articles of Association, subject to the IOM Companies Act, Lifezone Metals has unlimited capacity to carry on or undertake any business or activity, do any act or enter into any transaction.

 

The registered office of Lifezone Metals Limited is 2nd Floor, St George’s Court, Upper Church Street, Douglas, IM1 1EE, Isle of Man.

 

The A&R Articles of Association authorize the issuance of an unlimited number of Ordinary Shares in Lifezone Metals unless otherwise directed by the Board. All of the outstanding Ordinary Shares in Lifezone Metals are fully paid and non-assessable. As of November 5, 2025, 79,372,538 Ordinary Shares are issued and outstanding. For a discussion of derivative securities that could result in the issuance of additional Ordinary Shares, see “Prospectus Supplement Summary – The Offering”.

 

For a description of Lifezone Metals’ Ordinary Shares, please refer to Exhibit 2.5 to Lifezone Metal’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2024, which is incorporated by reference herein. For convenience, we have included below summaries of material provisions of the A&R Articles of Association insofar as they relate to the material terms of the Ordinary Shares of Lifezone Metals.

 

Lifezone Metals’ Ordinary Shares Voting Rights

 

Except as otherwise specified in the A&R Articles of Association or as required by law or NYSE rules, holders of Ordinary Shares registered in the register of members of Lifezone Metals (with Company number 020550V) will vote as a single class. Holders of Ordinary Shares shall at all times vote together on all resolutions submitted to a vote of the members. Voting at any meeting of members is by show of hands unless a poll is demanded. A poll may be demanded by the chairperson of such meeting, at least five members present in person or by proxy, or by a member or members present in person or by proxy representing not less than one-tenth of the voting rights of all the members.

 

The holders of Ordinary Shares are entitled to one vote per share on all matters to be voted on by shareholders. The A&R Articles of Association do not provide for cumulative voting with respect to the election of directors. The Board is divided into three classes, each consisting initially of an equal number of directors (to the extent feasible).

 

Transfer

 

All Ordinary Shares are issued in registered form and may be freely transferred under the A&R Articles of Association, unless any such transfer is restricted or prohibited by another instrument, the NYSE rules or applicable securities laws. Under the A&R Articles of Association, uncertificated Ordinary Shares that are listed on a recognized exchange may be transferred without the need for a written instrument of transfer if the transfer is carried out in accordance with the laws, rules, procedures and other requirements applicable to shares listed on the recognized exchange and subject to the A&R Articles of Association, the Companies Act 2006 of the Isle of Man (the “IOM Companies Act”) and the Isle of Man Uncertificated Securities Regulations 2006.

 

Purchase of Ordinary Shares by Lifezone Metals

 

The IOM Companies Act and the A&R Articles of Association permit Lifezone Metals to purchase its own shares with the prior written consent of the relevant members, or pursuant to an offer to all members, on such terms and in such manner as may be determined by the Board and by a resolution of directors in accordance with the prescribed requirements of the IOM Companies Act.

Dividends and Distributions

 

Pursuant to the A&R Articles of Association and the IOM Companies Act the Board may from time to time declare dividends and other distributions, and authorize payment thereof, if the Board is satisfied that, in accordance with the IOM Companies Act, immediately after the payment of any such dividend or distribution, (a) Lifezone Metals will be able to pay its debts as they become due in the normal course of its business and (b) the value of Lifezone Metals’ assets will exceed the value of its liabilities. Each Lifezone Metals ordinary share has equal rights with regard to dividends and to distributions of the surplus assets of Lifezone Metals, if any.

 

Other Rights

 

Under the A&R Articles of Association, the holders of Ordinary Shares are not entitled to any pre-emptive rights or anti-dilution rights. Ordinary Shares are not subject to any sinking fund provisions.

 

Issuance of Additional Shares

 

The A&R Articles of Association authorize the Board to issue additional Ordinary Shares from time to time as the Board shall determine, subject to the IOM Companies Act and the provisions, if any, in the A&R Articles of Association and, where applicable, the rules and regulations of any applicable exchange, the SEC and/or any other competent regulatory authority and without prejudice to any rights attached to any existing shares.

 

However, under Isle of Man law, Lifezone Metals’ directors may only exercise the rights and powers granted to them under the A&R Articles of Association for a proper purpose and for what they believe in good faith to be in the best interests of Lifezone Metals.

A meeting notice must specify, among other things, the place, day and time of the meeting and the general nature of the business to be conducted at such meeting. At any meeting of Lifezone Metals shareholders, one or more shareholders entitled to attend and to vote on the business to be transacted and holding more than 50% of the Ordinary Shares shall be a quorum. Subject to the requirements of the IOM Companies Act and Isle of Man law, only those matters set forth in the notice of the general meeting or (solely in the case of a meeting convened upon a Members’ Requisition (as defined below)) properly requested in connection with a Members’ Requisition may be considered or acted upon at a meeting of Lifezone Metals shareholders.

 

Each general meeting, other than an annual general meeting, shall be an extraordinary general meeting. Under the IOM Companies Act shareholders have the right to require the directors to call an extraordinary general meetings of shareholders (a “Members’ Requisition”). To properly call an extraordinary general meeting pursuant to a Members’ Requisition, (a) the request of shareholders representing not less than 10% of the voting power represented by all issued and outstanding shares of Lifezone Metals in respect of the matter for which such meeting is requested must be deposited at the registered office of Lifezone Metals and (b) the requisitioning shareholders must comply with certain information requirements specified in the A&R Articles of Association.

 

In connection with any meeting of shareholders, the right of a shareholder to bring other business or to nominate a candidate for election to the Board must be exercised in compliance with the requirements of the A&R Articles of Association. Among other things, notice of such other business or nomination must be received at the registered office of Lifezone Metals not later than the close of business on the date that is 120 days before, and not earlier than the close of business on the date that is 150 days before, the one-year anniversary of the preceding year’s annual general meeting, subject to certain exceptions.

WHERE YOU CAN FIND ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

 

This prospectus supplement is part of a registration statement on Form F-3 that we have filed with the SEC under the Securities Act with respect to the securities offered by this prospectus supplement. However, as is permitted by the rules and regulations of the SEC, this prospectus supplement, which is part of our registration statement on Form F-3, omits certain information, exhibits, and undertakings set forth in the registration statement. For further information about us and the securities offered by this prospectus, please refer to the registration statement and exhibits filed as a part of the registration statement.

 

We are subject to certain of the informational filing requirements of the Exchange Act. As a foreign private issuer, we are not subject to all of the disclosure requirements applicable to public companies organized within the United States. For example, we are exempt from certain rules under the Exchange Act that regulate disclosure obligations and procedural requirements related to the solicitation of proxies, consents or authorizations applicable to a security registered under the Exchange Act, including the U.S. proxy rules under Section 14 of the Exchange Act. In addition, our officers and directors are exempt from the reporting and “short-swing” profit recovery provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act and related rules with respect to their purchases and sales of our securities. Moreover, we are not required to file periodic reports and financial statements with the SEC as frequently or as promptly as U.S. public companies and are not required to file quarterly reports on Form 10-Q or current reports on Form 8-K under the Exchange Act.

 

The SEC maintains a website at http://www.sec.gov that contains reports and other information that we file with or furnish electronically with the SEC. You may also find such documents on our website at http://www.lifezonemetals.com. The information on our website is not incorporated by reference into this prospectus.

 

ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITIES

 

Lifezone Metals is an Isle of Man company and substantially all of its assets and operations are located outside of the U.S. In addition, certain of Lifezone Metals’s directors and officers reside outside the U.S. As a result, it may be difficult for you to effect service of process within the U.S. or elsewhere upon these persons. It may also be difficult for you to enforce in the jurisdictions in which Lifezone Metals operates or Isle of Man courts judgments obtained in U.S. courts based on the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws against Lifezone Metals and its officers and directors, certain of whom are not residents in the U.S. and the substantial majority of whose assets are located outside of the U.S. It may be difficult or impossible for you to bring an action against Lifezone Metals in the Isle of Man if you believe your rights under the U.S. securities laws have been infringed. In addition, there is uncertainty as to whether the courts of the Isle of Man or jurisdictions in which Lifezone Metals operates would recognize or enforce judgments of U.S. courts against Lifezone Metals or such persons predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the U.S. or any state and it is uncertain whether such Isle of Man or courts in jurisdictions in which Lifezone Metals operates would hear original actions brought in the Isle of Man or jurisdictions in which Lifezone Metals operates against Lifezone Metals or such persons predicated upon the securities laws of the U.S. or any state.

Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance. You should not put undue reliance on these statements which speak only as of the date hereof. You should understand that the following important factors, in addition to those referred to under the heading “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this prospectus, could affect the future results of Lifezone Metals, and could cause those results or other outcomes to differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements in this prospectus:

 

ability to maintain the NYSE’s listing standards;

 

inability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the SPAC transaction consummated on July 6, 2023 (the “Business Combination”) with Lifezone Holdings Limited (“LHL”) and GoGreen Investments Corporation (the “Business Combination”), which may be affected by, among other things, competition, the ability of the Lifezone Metals to grow and manage growth profitably, maintain relationships with customers and suppliers and retain its management and key employees;

changes in applicable laws or regulations;

 

possibility that Lifezone Metals may be adversely affected by other economic, business or competitive factors;

PROSPECTUS summary

 

This summary highlights certain information about us, this offering and selected information contained elsewhere in or incorporated into this prospectus. This summary is not complete and does not contain all of the information that you should consider before deciding whether to invest in the securities covered by this prospectus. You should read the following summary together with the more detailed information in or incorporated into this prospectus before making an investment decision.

 

Overview

 

We seek to support the clean energy transition by licensing our in-house Hydromet Technology as an alternative to traditional smelting and refining. Combined with our primary asset, the Kabanga Nickel Project in north-west Tanzania, Lifezone Metals aims to become an emerging supplier of responsibly-sourced, lower-carbon dioxide and lower-sulfur dioxide emission metals (compared to smelting) to the global markets.

 

We are progressing our Kabanga Nickel Project through a definitive feasibility study. Based on the Mineral Resource Estimates in the Kabanga 2023 Mineral Resource Updated Technical Report Summary (the “TRS”), we believe Kabanga comprises one of the world’s largest and highest-grade nickel sulfide deposits. We are also progressing a project that would utilize our Hydromet Technology to recover platinum group metals from spent automotive catalytic converters. We aim to provide products that will responsibly and cost-effectively deliver supply chain solutions to support the global energy transition.

 

We believe that our metals resources, Hydromet Technology and expertise position us for long term growth as customers continually look for cleaner sources of metals for the development of EVs, batteries and the hydrogen economy.

 

Our business consists of two segments: (i) our metals extraction and refining business and (ii) our IP licensing business.

 

Lifezone Metals Limited was incorporated under the laws of the Isle of Man on December 8, 2022. Lifezone’s registered office is located at Commerce House, 1 Bowring Road, Ramsey, IM8 2LQ, Isle of Man. Our telephone number at that address is +44 (0)1624 811 611.

 

Emerging Growth Company

 

Lifezone Metals is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Securities Act, as modified by 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 “emerging growth companies” including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, 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. If some investors find Lifezone Metals’ securities less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for Lifezone Metals’ securities and the prices of Lifezone Metals’ securities may be more volatile.

 

Lifezone Metals will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of: (1) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of the date on which Ordinary Shares were offered in connection with the Business Combination, (b) in which it has total annual gross revenues of at least $1.235 billion, or (c) in which it is deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of its ordinary shares that are held by non-affiliates is equal to or exceeds $700 million as of the end of the prior fiscal year’s second fiscal quarter; and (2) the date on which it has issued more than $1.00 billion in non-convertible debt during the prior three-year period. References herein to “emerging growth company” have the meaning associated with it in the JOBS Act.

 

Foreign Private Issuer

 

Lifezone Metals is considered a “foreign private issuer” under the securities laws of the U.S. and the rules of the NYSE. Under the applicable securities laws of the U.S., “foreign private issuers” are subject to different disclosure requirements than U.S. domiciled issuers. As a foreign private issuer, Lifezone Metals is not subject to the SEC’s proxy rules. Under the NYSE’s rules, a “foreign private issuer” is subject to less stringent corporate governance and compliance requirements and subject to certain exceptions, the NYSE permits a “foreign private issuer” to follow its home country’s practice in lieu of the listing requirements of the NYSE. Accordingly, Lifezone Metals’ shareholders may not receive the same protections afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to all of the NYSE’s corporate governance requirements.

 

Lifezone Metals intends to take all actions necessary for it to maintain compliance as a foreign private issuer under the applicable corporate governance requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the rules adopted by the SEC and the NYSE corporate governance rules and listing standards.

 

Because Lifezone Metals is a foreign private issuer, its directors and senior management are not subject to short-swing profit and insider trading reporting obligations under Section 16 of the Exchange Act. They will, however, be subject to the obligations to report changes in share ownership under Section 13 of the Exchange Act and related SEC rules.

RISK FACTORS

 

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. Before making an investment decision, you should consider carefully the risks described under the section titled “Item 3.D.: Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 20-F which is incorporated by reference herein, as well as any other information included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus. Our business, operating results, financial condition or prospects could also be harmed by risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently do not believe are material. If any of the risks actually occurs, our business, operating results, financial condition and prospects could be adversely affected. In that event, the market price of the Ordinary Shares could decline, and you could lose part or all of your investment.

Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, we intend to use the net proceeds from the sale of securities offered by us pursuant to this prospectus for general corporate purposes. The timing and amount of our actual expenditures will be based on many factors, including cash flows from operations and the anticipated growth of our business. As a result, unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, our management will have broad discretion to allocate the net proceeds of the offerings.

 

All of the Ordinary Shares offered by the Selling Securityholders pursuant to this prospectus will be sold by the Selling Securityholders for their respective accounts. We will not receive any of the proceeds from such sales. We will pay certain expenses associated with the registration of the securities covered by this prospectus, as described in the section entitled “Plan of Distribution.

 

MARKET PRICE OF OUR SECURITIES AND DIVIDEND POLICY

 

Our Ordinary Shares and Warrants began trading on the NYSE under the symbols “LZM” and “LZMW,” respectively, on July 6, 2023. On July 30, 2024, the last reported sales price of the Ordinary Shares on the NYSE was US$7.30 and the last reported sales price of the Warrants was US$0.81.

 

As of July 30, 2024, there were approximately 109 holders of record of our Ordinary Shares and approximately 27 holders of record of our Warrants based on public filings. Such numbers do not include beneficial owners holding our securities through nominee names.

 

Lifezone Metals has not paid any cash dividends on the Ordinary Shares to date. It is presently intended that Lifezone Metals will retain its earnings for use in business operations and, accordingly, it is not anticipated that Lifezone Metals’ board of directors (the “Board”) will declare dividends in the foreseeable future.

SELLING SECURITYHOLDERS

 

The resale of an aggregate 6,250,000 Ordinary Shares issuable upon the conversion of the outstanding $50 million aggregate principal amount of unsecured convertible debentures (the “Debentures”) is based on (i) the outstanding Debentures on the date of this prospectus multiplied by the current $8 per share conversion price. However, this prospectus includes the resale of up to an aggregate maximum of 7,119,769 Ordinary Shares (i) issuable upon the conversion of the outstanding Debentures, (ii) issuable as Interest Shares (as defined below) or (iii) issuable upon the conversion of capitalized PIK Interest (as defined below), based on the assumed interest rates and VWAP and other assumptions described herein.

 

The Debentures bear interest at a rate of SOFR plus 4.0% per annum, subject to a SOFR floor of 3.0%. For the period following the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part through the second anniversary of the closing date (so long as the Ordinary Share VWAP is more than US$4.00 for the five trading days preceding the applicable calculation date), the Company is required to pay interest on the Debentures as follows:

 

(i)as to two-thirds of the applicable interest payment in cash, which shall accrue (the “PIK Interest”) to the outstanding principal amount on each interest payment date until the second anniversary of the closing date; and

 

(ii)as to one third of the applicable interest payment, by the issue of the equivalent value in Ordinary Shares (the “Interest Shares”) at a price per Interest Share equal to a 7.5% discount to the Ordinary Share VWAP for the five trading days preceding the applicable interest payment date.

 

The amount of PIK Interest (and shares issuable upon conversion of PIK Interest) and the number of Interest Shares assumes that the full aggregate $50 million of the original principal amount of the Debentures remains outstanding until March 27, 2026, the second anniversary of the closing date of the Debenture placement, at which date both the original principal amount of the Debentures and the PIK Interest would convert into Ordinary Shares at a conversion price of US$8.00 per share. The assumed interest rate and interest amounts have been calculated using the 1-month term SOFR forward curve as of June 25, 2024, assuming interest becomes payable as PIK Interest and Interest Shares as of August 30, 2024. The amount of shares payable as Interest Shares was calculated on an assumed VWAP of US$8.00 per share. On the basis described above, the aggregate amount of PIK Interest would be approximately US$4.5 million convertible into 564,588 Ordinary Shares and an aggregate of 305,181 Interest Shares would be payable.

 

The Selling Securityholders may from time to time offer and sell any or all of the securities set forth below pursuant to this prospectus. When we refer to the “Selling Securityholders” in this prospectus, we mean the persons listed in the tables below.

 

The table below sets forth, as of the date of this prospectus, the name of the Selling Securityholders for which we are registering securities for resale to the public and the number of Ordinary Shares that the Selling Securityholders may offer pursuant to this prospectus.

 

The individuals and entities listed below have beneficial ownership over their respective securities. The SEC has defined “beneficial ownership” of a security to mean the possession, directly or indirectly, of voting power and/or investment power over such security. A shareholder is also deemed to be, as of any date, the beneficial owner of all securities that such shareholder has the right to acquire within 60 days after that date through (i) the exercise of any option, warrant or right, (ii) the conversion of a security, (iii) the power to revoke a trust, discretionary account or similar arrangement or (iv) the automatic termination of a trust, discretionary account or similar arrangement. In computing the number of shares beneficially owned by a person and the percentage ownership of that person, Ordinary Shares subject to options or other rights (as set forth above) held by that person that are currently exercisable, or will become exercisable within 60 days thereafter, are deemed outstanding, while such shares are not deemed outstanding for purposes of computing percentage ownership of any other person.

We cannot advise you as to whether the Selling Securityholders will in fact sell any or all of such securities. In addition, the Selling Securityholders may sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of, at any time and from time to time, the ordinary shares in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act after the date of this prospectus, subject to applicable law.

DESCRIPTION OF LIFEZONE METALS ORDINARY SHARES

 

Voting Rights

 

Except as otherwise specified in the memorandum and articles of association of Lifezone Metals (the “A&R Articles of Association”) or as required by law or NYSE rules, holders of Ordinary Shares registered in the register of members of Lifezone Metals will vote as a single class. Holders of Ordinary Shares shall at all times vote together on all resolutions submitted to a vote of the members. Voting at any meeting of members is by show of hands unless a poll is demanded. A poll may be demanded by the chairperson of such meeting, at least five members present in person or by proxy, or by a member or members present in person or by proxy representing not less than one-tenth of the voting rights of all the members.

 

The holders of Ordinary Shares are entitled to one vote per share on all matters to be voted on by shareholders. The A&R Articles of Association do not provide for cumulative voting with respect to the election of directors. The Board is divided into three classes, each consisting initially of an equal number of directors (to the extent feasible).

Transfer

 

All Ordinary Shares are issued in registered form and may be freely transferred under the A&R Articles of Association, unless any such transfer is restricted or prohibited by another instrument, the NYSE rules or applicable securities laws.

 

Under the A&R Articles of Association, uncertificated Ordinary Shares that are listed on a recognized exchange may be transferred without the need for a written instrument of transfer if the transfer is carried out in accordance with the laws, rules, procedures and other requirements applicable to shares listed on the recognized exchange and subject to the A&R Articles of Association, the Companies Act 2006 of the Isle of Man (the “IOM Companies Act”) and the Isle of Man Uncertificated Securities Regulations 2006.

 

Among other things, the shareholders of LHL and certain key shareholders of GoGreen Investments Corporation and limited partners of the GoGreen Sponsor 1 LP have agreed not to transfer their Ordinary Shares during a lock-up period following the consummation of the Business Combination. Further, the shareholders of The Simulus Group Pty Limited receiving Ordinary Shares as consideration pursuant to the acquisition by Lifezone Metals of all of the issued share capital of LHL in exchange for the issue to shareholders of LHL of Ordinary Shares and, if applicable, earnout shares (the “Simulus Acquisition”), have agreed, pursuant to a Share Sale Agreement, dated July 3, 2023, not to transfer such Ordinary Shares during the applicable lock-up period following the consummation of the Simulus Acquisition. Additionally, any Ordinary Shares and Lifezone Metals warrants received in the Business Combination by persons who are or become affiliates of Lifezone Metals for purposes of Rule 144 under the Securities Act may be resold only in transactions permitted by Rule 144, or as otherwise permitted under the Securities Act. Persons who may be deemed affiliates of Lifezone Metals generally include individuals or entities that control, are controlled by or are under common control with, Lifezone Metals and may include the directors and executive officers of Lifezone Metals, as well as its significant shareholders.

 

Purchase of Ordinary Shares by Lifezone Metals

 

The IOM Companies Act and the A&R Articles of Association permit Lifezone Metals to purchase its own shares with the prior written consent of the relevant members, or pursuant to an offer to all members, on such terms and in such manner as may be determined by the Board and by a resolution of directors in accordance with the prescribed requirements of the IOM Companies Act.

 

Dividends and Distributions

 

Pursuant to the A&R Articles of Association and the IOM Companies Act the Board may from time to time declare dividends and other distributions, and authorize payment thereof, if the Board is satisfied that, in accordance with the IOM Companies Act, immediately after the payment of any such dividend or distribution, (a) Lifezone Metals will be able to pay its debts as they become due in the normal course of its business and (b) the value of Lifezone Metals’ assets will exceed the value of its liabilities. Each Lifezone Metals ordinary share has equal rights with regard to dividends and to distributions of the surplus assets of Lifezone Metals, if any.

 

Other Rights

 

Under the A&R Articles of Association, the holders of Ordinary Shares are not entitled to any pre-emptive rights or anti-dilution rights. Ordinary Shares are not subject to any sinking fund provisions.

 

Issuance of Additional Shares

 

The A&R Articles of Association authorize the Board to issue additional Ordinary Shares from time to time as the Board shall determine, subject to the IOM Companies Act and the provisions, if any, in the A&R Articles of Association and, where applicable, the rules and regulations of any applicable exchange, the SEC and/or any other competent regulatory authority and without prejudice to any rights attached to any existing shares.

 

However, under Isle of Man law, Lifezone Metals’ directors may only exercise the rights and powers granted to them under the A&R Articles of Association for a proper purpose and for what they believe in good faith to be in the best interests of Lifezone Metals.

Meetings of Shareholders

 

Under the A&R Articles of Association, Lifezone Metals is required to hold an annual general meeting each year. The Board may call an annual general meeting on not less than 21 clear days’ notice or an extraordinary general meeting upon not less than 14 clear days’ notice unless such notice is waived in accordance with the A&R Articles of Association. A meeting notice must specify, among other things, the place, day and time of the meeting and the general nature of the business to be conducted at such meeting. At any meeting of Lifezone Metals shareholders, one or more shareholders entitled to attend and to vote on the business to be transacted and holding more than 50% of the Ordinary Shares shall be a quorum. Subject to the requirements of the IOM Companies Act and Isle of Man law, only those matters set forth in the notice of the general meeting or (solely in the case of a meeting convened upon a Members’ Requisition (as defined below)) properly requested in connection with a Members’ Requisition may be considered or acted upon at a meeting of Lifezone Metals shareholders.

 

Each general meeting, other than an annual general meeting, shall be an extraordinary general meeting. Under the IOM Companies Act shareholders have the right to require the directors to call an extraordinary general meetings of shareholders (a “Members’ Requisition”). To properly call an extraordinary general meeting pursuant to a Members’ Requisition, (a) the request of shareholders representing not less than 10% of the voting power represented by all issued and outstanding shares of Lifezone Metals in respect of the matter for which such meeting is requested must be deposited at the registered office of Lifezone Metals and (b) the requisitioning shareholders must comply with certain information requirements specified in the A&R Articles of Association.

 

In connection with any meeting of shareholders, the right of a shareholder to bring other business or to nominate a candidate for election to the Board must be exercised in compliance with the requirements of the A&R Articles of Association. Among other things, notice of such other business or nomination must be received at the registered office of Lifezone Metals not later than the close of business on the date that is 120 days before, and not earlier than the close of business on the date that is 150 days before, the one-year anniversary of the preceding year’s annual general meeting, subject to certain exceptions.

A company is required to keep at the office of its registered agent: its memorandum and articles of association of the company; the register of members or a copy of the register of members; the register of directors or a copy of the register of directors; the register of charges (if any) or a copy of the register of charges; copies of all notices and other documents filed by the company in the previous six years; originals or copies of the accounting records required to be kept under the IOM Companies Act; and originals of any financial statements prepared.

 

Anti-Takeover Provisions

 

Some provisions of the A&R Articles of Association may discourage, delay or prevent a change of control of Lifezone Metals or management that members may consider favorable, including, among other things:

 

a classified board of directors with staggered, three-year terms;

 

the ability of the Board to issue preferred shares and to determine the price and other terms of those shares, including preferences and voting rights, potentially without shareholder approval;

 

the limitation of liability of, and the indemnification of and advancement of expenses to, members of the Board;

 

advance notice procedures with which members must comply to nominate candidates to the Board or to propose matters to be acted upon at an annual general meeting or extraordinary general meeting, which could preclude members from bringing matters before an annual general meeting or extraordinary general meeting and delay changes in the Board;

the right of the Board to fill vacancies created by the expansion of the Board or the resignation, death or removal of a director; and

 

that the A&R Articles of Association may be amended only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least three-fourths of the votes cast at a general meeting.

 

However, under Isle of Man law, the directors of Lifezone Metals may only exercise the rights and powers granted to them under the IOM Companies Act for proper purposes and for what they believe in good faith to be in the best interests of Lifezone Metals.

Each series of warrants will be issued under a separate warrant agreement to be entered into between us and a warrant agent.

DESCRIPTION OF RIGHTS

 

General

 

We may issue rights to purchase any of our securities or any combination thereof. Rights may be issued independently or together with any other offered security and may or may not be transferable by the person purchasing or receiving the rights. In connection with any rights offering to our shareholders, we may enter into a standby underwriting arrangement with one or more underwriters pursuant to which such underwriters will purchase any offered securities remaining unsubscribed for after such rights offering. We may also appoint a rights agent that may act solely as our agent in connection with the rights that are sold. No such agent will assume any obligation or relationship of agency or trust with any of the holders of the rights. In connection with a rights offering to our shareholders, we will distribute certificates evidencing the rights and a prospectus supplement to our shareholders on the record date that we set for receiving rights in such rights offering.

 

The applicable prospectus supplement will describe the following terms of rights in respect of which this prospectus is being delivered:

 

the title of such rights;

 

the securities for which such rights are exercisable;

 

the exercise price for such rights;

 

the number of such rights issues with respect to each ordinary share;

 

the extent to which such rights are transferable;

 

if applicable, a discussion of the material income tax considerations applicable to the issuance or exercise of such rights;

the extent to which such rights include an over-subscription privilege with respect to unsubscribed securities;

 

if applicable, the material terms of any standby underwriting or other purchase arrangement, or any agency agreement, that we may enter into in connection with the rights offering; and

 

any other terms of such rights, including terms, procedures and limitations relating to the exchange and exercise of such rights.

 

Exercise of Rights

 

Each right will entitle the holder of the right to purchase for cash such securities or any combination thereof at such exercise price as shall in each case be set forth in, or be determinable as set forth in, the prospectus supplement relating to the rights offered thereby. Rights may be exercised at any time up to the close of business on the expiration date for such rights set forth in the prospectus supplement. After the close of business on the expiration date, all unexercised rights will become void.

 

Rights may be exercised as set forth in the prospectus supplement relating to the rights offered thereby. Upon receipt of payment and the rights certificate being properly completed and duly executed at the corporate trust office of the rights agent or any other office indicated in the prospectus supplement, we will forward, as soon as practicable, the securities purchasable upon such exercise. We may determine to offer any unsubscribed offered securities directly to persons other than shareholders, to or through agents, underwriters or dealers or through a combination of such methods, including pursuant to standby underwriting arrangements, as set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement.

DESCRIPTION OF UNITS

 

We may issue units consisting of any combination of the other types of securities offered under this prospectus in one or more series. We may evidence each series of units by unit certificates that we will issue under a separate agreement. We may enter into unit agreements with a unit agent. Each unit agent will be a bank or trust company that we select. We will indicate the name and address of the unit agent in the applicable prospectus supplement relating to a particular series of units.

 

The following description, together with the additional information included in any applicable prospectus supplement, summarizes the general features of the units that we may offer under this prospectus. You should read any prospectus supplement and any free writing prospectus that we may authorize to be provided to you related to the series of units being offered, as well as the complete unit agreements that contain the terms of the units.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

We may sell the securities to or through underwriters, through dealers or agents, directly to you or through a combination of these methods. The prospectus supplement with respect to any offering of securities will describe the specific terms of the securities being offered, including:

 

the name or names of any underwriters;

 

the purchase price, the proceeds from that sale and the expected use of such proceeds;

 

any underwriting discounts and other items constituting underwriters’ compensation;

 

any initial public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers; and

 

any securities exchanges on which the securities may be listed.

 

Through Underwriters. If we use underwriters in the sale of the securities, the underwriters will acquire the offered securities for their own account. We will execute an underwriting agreement with an underwriter or underwriters once an agreement for sale of the securities is reached. The underwriters may resell the offered securities in one or more transactions, including negotiated transactions, at a fixed public offering price or at varying prices determined at the time of sale. The underwriters may sell the offered securities directly or through underwriting syndicates represented by managing underwriters. Unless otherwise stated in the prospectus supplement relating to offered securities, the obligations of the underwriters to purchase those offered securities will be subject to certain conditions, and the underwriters will be obligated to purchase all of those offered securities if they purchase any of them.

 

Through Dealers. If we use a dealer to sell the securities, we will sell the offered securities to the dealer as principal. The dealer may then resell those offered securities at varying prices determined at the time of resale. Any initial public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers may be changed from time to time.

 

Through Agents. If we use agents in the sale of securities, we may designate one or more agents to sell offered securities.

 

Directly to Purchasers. We may sell the securities directly to one or more purchasers. In this case, no underwriters, dealers or agents would be involved. We will describe the terms of our direct sales in our prospectus supplement.

 

At the Market Offering. We may also sell equity securities covered by this registration statement in an “at the market” offering as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act. Such offering may be made into an existing trading market for such securities in transactions at other than a fixed price. Such “at the market” offerings, if any, may be conducted by underwriters acting as principal or agent.

 

Selling Securityholders

 

We will not receive any proceeds from any sale by the Selling Securityholders of the Ordinary Shares being registered hereunder. We will bear all costs, expenses and fees in connection with the registration of the securities offered by this prospectus, whereas the Selling Securityholders will bear all incremental selling expenses, including commissions, brokerage fees and other similar selling expenses.

 

The Selling Securityholders may offer and sell, from time to time, some or all of the securities covered by this prospectus. As used herein, “Selling Securityholders” means the persons listed in the tables in the section “Selling Securityholders.” We have registered the securities covered by this prospectus for offer and sale so that those securities may be freely sold to the public by the Selling Securityholders. Registration of the securities covered by this prospectus does not mean, however, that those securities necessarily will be offered or resold by the Selling Securityholders.

 

13

 

 

Sales of the securities offered hereby may be effected by the Selling Securityholders from time to time in one or more types of transactions (which may include block transactions) on the NYSE at prevailing market prices, in negotiated transactions, through put or call options transactions relating to the securities offered hereby, through short sales of the securities offered hereby, or a combination of such methods of sale. Such transactions may or may not involve brokers or dealers. In effecting sales, brokers or dealers engaged by the Selling Securityholders may arrange for other brokers or dealers to participate. Broker-dealer transactions may include purchases of the securities by a broker-dealer as principal and resales of the securities by the broker-dealer for its account pursuant to this prospectus, ordinary brokerage transactions or transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers. Such broker-dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the Selling Securityholders and/or the purchasers of the securities offered hereby for whom such broker-dealers may act as agents or to whom they sell as principal, or both (which compensation as to a particular broker-dealer might be in excess of customary commissions). Any broker-dealers participating in the distribution of the securities covered by this prospectus may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any commissions received by any of those broker-dealers may be deemed to be underwriting commissions under the Securities Act.

 

There can be no assurance that the Selling Securityholders will sell all or any of the securities offered by this prospectus. In addition, the Selling Securityholders may also sell securities under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, or in other transactions exempt from registration, rather than under this prospectus. Rule 144 is not available for the resale of securities initially issued by shell companies or issuers that have been at any time previously a shell company. However, Rule 144 also includes an important exception to this prohibition if the following conditions are met: (i) the issuer of the securities that was formerly a shell company has ceased to be a shell company; (ii) the issuer of the securities is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act; (iii) the issuer of the securities has filed all Exchange Act reports and materials required to be filed, as applicable, during the preceding 12 months (or such shorter period that the issuer was required to file such reports and materials), other than current reports; and (iv) at least one year has elapsed from the time that the issuer filed current Form 20-F type information with the SEC reflecting its status as an entity that is not a shell company (which we filed with the SEC on July 11, 2023).

 

The Selling Securityholders have the sole and absolute discretion not to accept any purchase offer or make any sale of securities if they deem the purchase price to be unsatisfactory at any particular time.

 

Upon our being notified by any Selling Securityholder that any material arrangement has been entered into with a broker-dealer for the sale of securities offered hereby through a block trade, special offering, exchange distribution or secondary distribution or a purchase by a broker or dealer, a supplement to this prospectus will be filed, if required, pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, disclosing:

 

the name of the participating broker-dealer(s);

 

the specific securities involved;

 

the initial price at which such securities are to be sold;

 

the commissions paid or discounts or concessions allowed to such broker-dealer(s), where applicable; and

 

other facts material to the transaction.

 

To the extent required, we will use our best efforts to file one or more supplements to this prospectus to describe any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this prospectus or any material change to such information.

 

Indemnification

 

We may indemnify underwriters, dealers or agents who participate in the distribution of securities against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act and agree to contribute to payments which these underwriters, dealers or agents may be required to make.

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling Lifezone Metals pursuant to the foregoing provisions, Lifezone Metals has been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

SERVICE OF PROCESS AND ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITIES UNDER U.S. SECURITIES LAWS

 

Lifezone Metals is an Isle of Man company and substantially all of its assets and operations are located outside of the U.S. In addition, certain of Lifezone Metals’ directors and officers reside outside the U.S. As a result, it may be difficult for you to effect service of process within the U.S. or elsewhere upon these persons. It may also be difficult for you to enforce in the jurisdictions in which Lifezone Metals operates or Isle of Man courts judgments obtained in U.S. courts based on the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws against Lifezone Metals and its officers and directors, certain of whom are not residents in the U.S. and the substantial majority of whose assets are located outside of the U.S. It may be difficult or impossible for you to bring an action against Lifezone Metals in the Isle of Man if you believe your rights under the U.S. securities laws have been infringed. In addition, there is uncertainty as to whether the courts of the Isle of Man or jurisdictions in which Lifezone Metals operates would recognize or enforce judgments of U.S. courts against Lifezone Metals or such persons predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the U.S. or any state and it is uncertain whether such Isle of Man or courts in jurisdictions in which Lifezone Metals operates would hear original actions brought in the Isle of Man or jurisdictions in which Lifezone Metals operates against Lifezone Metals or such persons predicated upon the securities laws of the U.S. or any state.
