Description: LZM Lifezone Metals December 29, 2025

Lifezone Metals Limited (NYSE:LZM) is a metals production and recycling firm headquartered in Douglas, Isle of Man. Its flagship asset is the Kabanga Nickel Project in north-west Tanzania, a laterite deposit currently undergoing feasibility studies, while the company also generates revenue through intellectual-property licensing.

Key metrics and sector drivers to note: (1) Kabanga’s JORC-compliant inferred resource is estimated at ~4 Mt of nickel, positioning it among the larger African projects; (2) The project targets an initial output of ~30,000 t of nickel per year, which would make it sensitive to nickel price swings-prices have risen above $20,000/t in 2024 driven by EV battery demand; (3) Lifezone’s market capitalization is roughly $150 m, giving it a market-cap-to-resource ratio that is below the sector median, suggesting a potential valuation discount relative to peers.
