EXPLANATORY NOTE
On June 23, 2023, the registrant filed a Registration Statement on Form F-1 (Registration No. 333-272865), which was subsequently declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on September 29, 2023 (“Registration Statement”).

PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS — SUBJECT TO COMPLETION, DATED AUGUST 1, 2024
LIFEZONE METALS LIMITED
103,675,724 ORDINARY SHARES,
667,500 WARRANTS TO PURCHASE ORDINARY SHARES AND
14,391,150 ORDINARY SHARES UNDERLYING WARRANTS
This prospectus relates to the offer and sale from time to time by the selling securityholders named in this prospectus (the “Selling Securityholders”) of up to (a) 103,675,724 ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Lifezone Metals Ordinary Shares”), of Lifezone Metals Limited, an Isle of Man company (“Lifezone Metals”), which includes up to 26,767,088 Lifezone Metals Ordinary Shares which may be issuable to certain shareholders of LHL and the Sponsor (each, as defined below) after the consummation of the Business Combination (as defined below) as earnout consideration upon the achievement of certain stock price thresholds for our Lifezone Metals Ordinary Shares, and (b) 667,500 Private Placement Warrants (as defined below). The Lifezone Metals Ordinary Shares described in clause (a) of the prior sentence include (i) 6,667,317 Lifezone Metals Ordinary Shares issued to the PIPE Investors (as defined below) at a cash price of $10.00 per share, (ii) 5,133,600 Lifezone Metals Ordinary Shares issued to the Sponsor upon conversion of 5,133,600 Class B ordinary shares of GoGreen (as defined below), which Class B ordinary shares of GoGreen were issued to the Sponsor at a cash price of $0.0036 per share, and which Lifezone Metals Ordinary Shares have been distributed by the Sponsor to Selling Securityholders who are limited partners of the Sponsor, (iii) 1,335,000 Lifezone Metals Ordinary Shares issued to the Sponsor upon conversion of 1,335,000 Class A ordinary shares of GoGreen, which Class A ordinary shares of GoGreen were issued to the Sponsor pursuant to a private placement of GoGreen units at a cash price of $10.00 per unit (with each GoGreen unit consisting of one Class A ordinary share of GoGreen and one-half of one warrant to purchase one Class A ordinary share of GoGreen), and which Lifezone Metals Ordinary Shares have been distributed by the Sponsor to Selling Securityholders who are limited partners of the Sponsor, (iv) 667,500 Lifezone Metals Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, (v) 62,605,219 Lifezone Metals Ordinary Shares issued to Selling Securityholders who were shareholders of LHL as equity merger consideration pursuant to the Business Combination at an equity consideration value of $10.00 per share and (vi) 500,000 Lifezone Metals Ordinary Shares issued to Selling Securityholders who were shareholders of SGPL (as defined below) as consideration pursuant to the Simulus SSA (as defined below) at an equity consideration value of $10.00 per share. The Private Placement Warrants described in clause (b) of such sentence were originally issued to the Sponsor pursuant to a private placement of GoGreen units at a cash price of $10.00 per unit and were assumed by Lifezone Metals pursuant to the Warrant Assumption Agreement (as defined below), which Private Placement Warrants have been distributed by the Sponsor to Selling Securityholders who are limited partners of the Sponsor.
In addition, this prospectus relates to the issuance by us of up to (a) 13,723,650 Lifezone Metals Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants (as defined below) and (b) 667,500 Lifezone Metals Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants.
The Selling Securityholders may offer all or part of the securities for resale from time to time through public or private transactions, at either prevailing market prices or at privately negotiated prices. These securities are being registered to permit the Selling Securityholders to sell securities from time to time, in amounts, at prices and on terms determined at the time of offering. The Selling Securityholders may sell these securities through ordinary brokerage transactions, directly to market makers of our shares or through any other means described in the section entitled “Plan of Distribution” herein. In connection with any sales of securities offered hereunder, the Selling Securityholders, any underwriters, agents, brokers or dealers participating in such sales may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).
We are registering these securities for resale by the Selling Securityholders, or their pledgees, transferees or their successors that may be identified in a supplement to this prospectus or, if required, a post-effective amendment to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. See the section entitled “Plan of Distribution.”
We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the securities by the Selling Securityholders, except with respect to amounts received by Lifezone Metals upon exercise of the Warrants to the extent such Warrants are exercised for cash. Each Lifezone Metals Warrant represents the right to purchase one Lifezone Metals Ordinary Share at a price of $11.50 per share in cash. When the market price for our Lifezone Metals Ordinary Share is less than $11.50 per share (i.e., the warrants are “out of the money”), we believe warrant holders will be unlikely to exercise their warrants. If all the warrants are exercised, an additional 14,391,150 Lifezone ordinary shares would be outstanding.
The outstanding Lifezone Metals Ordinary Shares being offered in this prospectus represent approximately 96.1% of our outstanding Lifezone Metals Ordinary Shares, assuming the Lifezone Metals Ordinary Shares issuable upon the achievement of certain stock price thresholds are not outstanding. The outstanding Lifezone Metals Ordinary Shares being offered in this prospectus represent approximately 97.1% of our outstanding Lifezone Metals Ordinary Shares, assuming all Lifezone Metals Ordinary Shares issuable upon the achievement of certain stock price thresholds are outstanding. Additionally, if all the Warrants are exercised, an additional 14,391,150 Lifezone Metals Ordinary Shares would be outstanding. The sale of all the securities being offered in this prospectus, or the perception that these sales could occur, could result in a significant decline in the public trading price of our Lifezone Metals Ordinary Shares and Warrants.
Our Lifezone Metals Ordinary Shares and public Warrants are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) under the symbols “LZM” and “LZMW,” respectively. On July 30, 2024, the closing price for our Lifezone Metals Ordinary Shares on the NYSE was US$7.30. On July 30, 2024, the closing price for our Warrants on the NYSE was US$0.81.
We may amend or supplement this prospectus from time to time by filing amendments or supplements as required. You should read this entire prospectus and any amendments or supplements carefully before you make your investment decision.
Lifezone Metals is an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, and is therefore eligible to take advantage of certain reduced reporting requirements otherwise applicable to other public companies.
Lifezone Metals is also a “foreign private issuer” as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and is exempt from certain rules under the Exchange Act that impose certain disclosure obligations and procedural requirements for proxy solicitations under Section 14 of the Exchange Act. In addition, Lifezone Metals’ officers, directors and principal shareholders are exempt from the reporting and “short-swing” profit recovery provisions under Section 16 of the Exchange Act. Moreover, Lifezone Metals is not be required to file periodic reports and financial statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) as frequently or as promptly as U.S. companies whose securities are registered under the Exchange Act.
Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. See “Risk Factors” on page 5 of this prospectus before you make an investment in the securities.
Neither the SEC nor any state or foreign securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.
This prospectus is dated August , 2024.

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;

All forward-looking statements are expressly qualified in their entirety by the foregoing cautionary statements.

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 thorough our 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 autocatalytic 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 Lifezone Metals 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” has the 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
1
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.

The summary below describes the principal terms of the offering.
Securities being registered for resale by the Selling Securityholders: |
(a) 103,675,724 Lifezone Metals Ordinary Shares, which includes up to 26,767,088 Earnout Shares and Sponsor Earnout Shares in the aggregate, and (b) 667,500 Private Placement Warrants. |
|
Offering Prices for Resales: |
The Selling Securityholders will determine when and how they will dispose of the Lifezone Metals Ordinary Shares and Private Placement Warrants registered under this prospectus for resale. |
|
Lifezone Metals Ordinary Shares offered by us: |
(a) 14,391,150 Lifezone Metals Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants, which warrants were previously registered and were assumed by Lifezone Metals pursuant to the Warrant Assumption Agreement, and (b) 667,500 Lifezone Metals Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants. |
|
Terms of Warrants: |
Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Lifezone Metals Ordinary Share at a price of $11.50 per share. The Warrants will expire five years after the completion of the Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. |
|
Use of Proceeds: |
All of the securities 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 receive up to an aggregate of approximately $166.4 million from the exercise of the Warrants, assuming the exercise in full of all of the Warrants for cash. Each Lifezone Metals Warrant represents the right to purchase one Lifezone Metals Ordinary Share at a price of $11.50 per share in cash. We believe the likelihood that warrant holders will exercise their Warrants, and therefore the amount of cash proceeds that we would receive, is dependent upon the market price of our Lifezone Metals Ordinary Shares. On April 23, 2024, the market price for our Lifezone Metals Ordinary Shares was $7.73. When the market price for our Lifezone Metals Ordinary Shares is less than $11.50 per share (i.e., the Warrants are “out of the money”), we believe warrant holders will be unlikely to exercise their Warrants. We expect to use the net proceeds from the exercise of the Warrants for general corporate purposes. See “Use of Proceeds.” |

Any further determination to pay dividends on our Lifezone Metals Ordinary Shares would be at the discretion of our board of directors, subject to applicable laws, and would depend on our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, general business conditions, and other factors that our board of directors may deem relevant. |

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 Lifezone Metals Ordinary Shares could decline, and you could lose part or all of your investment.

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.”
We will receive up to an aggregate of approximately $165.5 million from the exercise of the Warrants, assuming the exercise in full of all of the Warrants. We expect to use the net proceeds from the exercise of the Warrants for general corporate purposes. We will have broad discretion over the use of proceeds from the exercise of the Warrants. There is no assurance that the holders of the Warrants will elect to exercise any or all of such Warrants. To the extent that any of the Warrants are exercised on a “cashless basis,” the amount of cash we would receive from the exercise of the Warrants will decrease. Each Lifezone Metals Warrant represents the right to purchase one Lifezone Metals Ordinary Share at a price of $11.50 per share in cash. We believe the likelihood that warrant holders will exercise their Warrants, and therefore the amount of cash proceeds that we would receive, is dependent upon the market price of our Lifezone Metals Ordinary Shares. On April 23, 2024, the market price for our Lifezone Metals Ordinary Shares was $7.73. When the market price for our Lifezone Metals Ordinary Shares is less than $11.50 per share (i.e., the Warrants are “out of the money”), we believe warrant holders will be unlikely to exercise their Warrants.

MARKET PRICE OF OUR SECURITIES AND DIVIDEND POLICY
Our Lifezone Metals 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 Lifezone Metals 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 Lifezone Metals 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 Lifezone Metals 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 will declare dividends in the foreseeable future.

This prospectus relates to the offer and sale from time to time by the Selling Securityholders of up to (a) 103,675,724 Lifezone Metals Ordinary Shares, which includes up to 26,767,088 Lifezone Metals Ordinary Shares which may be issuable to certain shareholders of LHL and the Sponsor after the consummation of the Business Combination as earnout consideration upon the achievement of certain stock price thresholds for our Lifezone Metals Ordinary Shares, and (b) 667,500 Private Placement Warrants. The Lifezone Metals Ordinary Shares described in clause (a) of the prior sentence include (i) 6,667,317 Lifezone Metals Ordinary Shares issued to the PIPE Investors, (ii) 6,468,600 Lifezone Metals Ordinary Shares issued to the Sponsor immediately prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, which Lifezone Metals Ordinary Shares have been distributed by the Sponsor to Selling Securityholders who are limited partners of the Sponsor, (iii) 667,500 Lifezone Metals Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants, (iv) 62,605,219 Lifezone Metals Ordinary Shares issued to Selling Securityholders who were shareholders of LHL immediately prior to the consummation of the Business Combination and (v) 500,000 Lifezone Metals Ordinary Shares issued to Selling Securityholders who were shareholders of SGPL as consideration pursuant to the Simulus SSA.
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, and the pledgees, transferees or other successors-in-interest (as a gift, pledge, partnership distribution or other non-sale related transfer) selling securities received after the date of this prospectus from the Selling Securityholders that may be identified in a supplement to this prospectus or, if required, a post-effective amendment to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.
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 Lifezone Metals Ordinary Shares and Private Placement Warrants that the Selling Securityholders may offer pursuant to this prospectus, which to the extent applicable includes the maximum number of Earnout Shares and Sponsor Earnout Shares that may be issued to the LHL Shareholders and the Sponsor, respectively, after the consummation of the Business Combination. While we are registering for resale to the public the maximum number of Lifezone Metals Ordinary Shares (including the maximum number of Earnout Shares and Sponsor Earnout Shares) that may be issued by Lifezone Metals at or following the consummation of the Business Combination, the actual number of Lifezone Metals Ordinary Shares, Earnout Shares and Sponsor Earnout Shares issued by Lifezone Metals will depend on, among other things, the trading price of Lifezone Metals Ordinary Shares after the consummation of the Business Combination. For more information, see the sections titled “Prospectus Summary — Earnout Shares” and “Prospectus Summary — Sponsor Earnout Shares.” The number of securities set forth in the table below indicates the maximum number of securities that a Selling Securityholder may offer and sell pursuant to this prospectus and you should not assume that such numbers represent or predict the actual number of Lifezone Metals Ordinary Shares, Earnout Shares or Sponsor Earnout Shares that Lifezone Metals will issue.
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, Lifezone Metals 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.
The securities held by certain of the Selling Securityholders are subject to transfer restrictions, as described in the section entitled “Description of Lifezone Metals’ Securities — Transfer”.
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.

Selling Securityholder information for each additional Selling Securityholder, if any, will be set forth in a supplement to this prospectus or, if required, a post-effective amendment to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. Any such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment may add, update, substitute or change the information contained in this prospectus, including the identity of each Selling Securityholder and the number of Lifezone Metals Ordinary Shares registered on its behalf. A Selling Securityholder may sell all, some or none of such securities in this offering. See the section entitled “Plan of Distribution.”

We will not receive any proceeds from any sale by the Selling Securityholders of the Lifezone Metals Ordinary Shares or the Private Placement Warrants 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. We will receive proceeds from the exercise of the Warrants in the event that such Warrants are exercised for cash.
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”, and the pledgees, transferees or other successors-in-interest (as a gift, pledge, partnership distribution or other non-sale related transfer) selling securities received after the date of this prospectus from the Selling Securityholders that may be identified in a supplement to this prospectus or, if required, a post-effective amendment to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. 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.
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 Securityholder 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. The Selling Securityholders have advised us that they have not entered into any agreements, understandings or arrangements with any broker-dealers regarding the sale of the securities covered by this prospectus.
Pursuant to Rule 145 of the Securities Act, public sales of the securities offered hereby by any party to the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, other than the Company, or by any person who is an affiliate of a party to such transactions at the time such transactions were submitted for vote or consent, and who acquired such securities in connection with such transactions, will be deemed to have been made pursuant to a distribution and therefore made by an “underwriter” within the meaning of 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.
A Selling Securityholder that is an entity may elect to make a pro rata in-kind distribution of securities to its members, partners or shareholders pursuant to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part by delivering a prospectus with a plan of distribution.
The Selling Securityholders also may transfer the securities in other circumstances, in which case the pledgees, transferees or successors that may be identified in a supplement to this prospectus or, if required, a post-effective amendment to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus. Upon being notified by a Selling Securityholder that such a pledgee, transferee or successor intends to sell our securities, we will, to the extent required, promptly file a supplement to this prospectus or a post-effective amendment to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part to name specifically such person as a Selling Securityholder.
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.
The Selling Securityholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions. In connection with such transactions, broker-dealers or other financial institutions may engage in short sales of the securities offered hereby or of securities convertible into or exchangeable for such securities in the course of hedging positions they assume with the Selling Securityholders. The Selling Securityholders may also enter into options or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions which require the delivery to such broker-dealers or other financial institutions of the securities offered by this prospectus, which securities such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as amended or supplemented to reflect such 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.
In compliance with the guidelines of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, the aggregate maximum discount, commission, fees or other items constituting underwriting compensation to be received by any Financial Industry Regulatory Authority member or independent broker-dealer will not exceed 8% of the gross proceeds of any offering pursuant to this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement.
We have agreed to indemnify the Selling Securityholders against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. The Selling Securityholders have agreed to indemnify us in certain circumstances against certain liabilities, including certain liabilities under the Securities Act. The Selling Securityholders may indemnify any broker or underwriter that participates in transactions involving the sale of the securities against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.

In connection with the Share Acquisition Closing, the Key LHL Shareholders entered into agreements (the “LHL Shareholder Lock-Up Agreements”) providing that the Key LHL Shareholders will not, subject to certain exceptions (including the payment of taxes arising from the Business Combination), transfer any Restricted Securities (as defined in the LHL Shareholder Lock-Up Agreements) during the period commencing from the Share Acquisition Closing Date until 180 days after the Share Acquisition Closing Date. In connection with the Share Acquisition Closing, the Sponsor entered into an agreement (the “Sponsor Lock-Up Agreement”) providing that it will not, subject to certain exceptions, transfer (i) Phase I Lock-up Shares (as defined below) until the date that is 60 days after the Share Acquisition Closing Date and (ii) Phase II Lock-up Shares (as defined below) until the date that is 180 days after the Share Acquisition Closing Date. For purposes of the Sponsor Lock-Up Agreement, “Phase I Lock-up Shares” means the number of Lifezone Metals Ordinary Shares that are received by the Sponsor in exchange for the number of GoGreen Class A ordinary shares held by the Sponsor immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time, and “Phase II Lock-up Securities” means any Lifezone Metals Ordinary Shares and any warrants to purchase Lifezone Metals Ordinary Shares that are held by the Sponsor following the Merger Closing Date, other than Phase I Lock-up Shares or Lifezone Metals Ordinary Shares acquired in the PIPE Financing. Upon the distribution of the Lifezone Metals Ordinary Shares and Warrants received by the Sponsor in connection with the Business Combination to the Selling Securityholders who are limited partners of the Sponsor, each such Selling Securityholder entered into an agreement substantially similar to the Sponsor Lock-Up Agreement providing that such Selling Securityholder will not, subject to certain exceptions, transfer (i) Phase I Lock-up Shares until the date that is 60 days after the Share Acquisition Closing Date and (ii) Phase II Lock-up Shares until the date that is 180 days after the Share Acquisition Closing Date. Further, the Simulus SSA provides that the shareholders of SGPL receiving Lifezone Metals Ordinary Shares as consideration pursuant to the Simulus Acquisition will not, subject to certain exceptions, dispose of, transfer or assign any such Lifezone Metals Ordinary Shares for a period of six months following the closing of the Simulus Acquisition.
A holder of Warrants may exercise its Warrants in accordance with the Warrant Agreement on or before the expiration date set forth therein by surrendering, at the office of the Warrant Agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the certificate evidencing such Warrant, with the form of election to purchase set forth thereon, properly completed and duly executed, accompanied by full payment of the exercise price and any and all applicable taxes due in connection with the exercise of the Warrant, subject to any applicable provisions relating to cashless exercises in accordance with the Warrant Agreement.

The validity of our Ordinary Shares offered by this prospectus relating to Isle of Man law has been passed upon for us by Appleby (Isle of Man) LLC.
The consolidated financial statements of the Company as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2023, included in this prospectus and elsewhere in the registration statement have been so included in reliance upon the reports of Grant Thornton Ireland, independent registered public accountants, upon the authority of said firm as experts in accounting and auditing.
Sharron Sylvester, BSc (Geol), RPGeo AIG (10125), Technical Director — Geology at OreWin Pty Ltd and Bernard Peters, BEng (Mining), FAusIMM (201743), Technical Director — Mining at OreWin Pty Ltd. both prepared the Technical Report Summary. Both individuals are Qualified Persons as defined in subpart 1300 of Regulation S-K and are considered independent of Lifezone Metals.
As at the date hereof, none of the above-named experts has received, or is to receive, in connection with the offering, an interest, direct or indirect, in Lifezone Metals or its subsidiaries.
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.

PART II
INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
Item 8. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Subject to the provisions of the Isle Of Man Companies Act, the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association of Lifezone Metals provide that Lifezone Metals shall indemnify each of its directors and officers (including former directors and officers) out of its assets, to the fullest extent permissible under the laws of the Isle of Man, against any liability, action, proceeding, claim, demand, costs, damages or expenses, including legal expenses, whatsoever, which any of those directors or officers may incur as a result of any act or failure to act in carrying out their functions unless that liability arises through their actual fraud or willful default. The Isle Of Man Companies Act permits the indemnification of directors and officers provided that such person acted honestly and in good faith and in what such person believed to be in the best interests of the company and, in the case of criminal proceedings, had no reasonable cause to believe that the conduct of such person was unlawful.
Costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by a director or officer in connection with the defense of any action, suit, proceeding or investigation involving them may be paid by Lifezone Metals in advance of the final disposition of such proceedings upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay the amount if it shall be determined by final judgment that the director is not entitled to be indemnified by Lifezone Metals in accordance with its Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association.
The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association of Lifezone Metals is not exclusive of any other rights to which the person seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled.
The directors, on behalf of Lifezone Metals, may purchase and maintain insurance for the benefit of any current or former director or other officer of Lifezone Metals against any liability which, by virtue of any rule of law, would otherwise attach to such person in respect of any negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust of which such person may be guilty in relation to Lifezone Metals.
In addition, Lifezone Metals has purchased and intends to maintain standard policies of insurance under which coverage is provided to its directors and officers against loss arising from claims made by reason of breach of duty or other wrongful act, and to Lifezone Metals with respect to payments which may be made by Lifezone Metals to such directors and officers pursuant to the above indemnification provision or otherwise as a matter of law.

## Portions of this exhibit have been omitted as the Registrant has determined that (i) the omitted information is not material and (ii) the omitted information is of the type that the Registrant customarily and actually treats as private or confidential.
† Schedules to this exhibit have been omitted pursuant to Item 601(a)(5) of Registration S-K. The Registrant hereby agrees to furnish a copy of any omitted schedules to the Commission upon request.

Item 10. Undertakings.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of
II-4
prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.
Provided, however, that Paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (ii), and (iii) do not apply if the registration statement is on Form F-3 and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or, as to a registration statement on Form F-3, is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(4) To file a post-effective amendment to the registration statement to include any financial statements required by Item 8.A of Form 20-F at the start of any delayed offering or throughout a continuous offering. Financial statements and information otherwise required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act need not be furnished, provided that the registrant includes in the prospectus, by means of a post-effective amendment, financial statements required pursuant to this paragraph and other information necessary to ensure that all other information in the prospectus is at least as current as the date of those financial statements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to registration statements on Form F-3, a post-effective amendment need not be filed to include financial statements and information required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act or Item 8.A of Form 20-F if such financial statements and information are contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the s Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the Form F-3.
(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser,
(i) if the registrant is relying on Rule 430B;
(A) each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and
(B) each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date;
II-5
(ii) if the registrant is subject to Rule 430C, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
(6) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities: The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;
(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and
(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised 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. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such Director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that:
(1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.
(2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
