Our Partnership
As a key foreign investor in Tanzania, our landmark partnership with the government and people of Tanzania has been structured to secure shared value based on equity and trust.
Lifezone is a champion for Tanzanian metals production. We aim to empower Tanzania to be the next premier source of battery-grade nickel with copper and cobalt byproducts.
Kabanga is considered to be a project of national importance, and will help achieve the targets of Agenda 2030, which prioritizes inclusive socio-economic development.
Our Commitment
Our commitment to in-country beneficiation is expected to make Tanzania a leader in cleaner energy metals production as a significant strategic supplier of refined nickel, copper and cobalt.
Our focus on localized processing and refining will enable the government and local communities to share in the value created by sovereign resources.
These strategic minerals are expected to be exported globally to produce batteries for electric vehicles and renewable energy generation.
