Three-Layer Read

SURFACE

P+P 52.2 Mt @ 1.98% Ni, 0.27% Cu, 0.15% Co. Pre-FID; mid-2026 FID target — execution-readiness phase. Lifezone via KNL (84% of Tembo Nickel; Tanzania 16%).

STRATUM

Plunging ultramafic chonoliths in the East African Nickel Belt — one of the largest undeveloped nickel sulphide systems on Earth. Body illustrative, Derived.

DEEP STRUCTURE

The asset that has waited fifty years for infrastructure. FID mid-2026 is the binary the record watches — and BHP\u2019s 2025 exit hands Lifezone the whole equation.

Record figures

Sourced

Reserve (P+P): 52.2 Mt @ 1.98% Ni, 0.27% Cu, 0.15% Co; 100% project basis. Pre-FID, mid-2026 target.Afrimintel record, reviewed 2026-06-12

Derived

≈1.03 Mt Ni contained — computed from the record\u2019s tonnage and grade.

Sourced

Verdict

FID READ

Fifty years of waiting compressed into one date: mid-2026 FID. The record\u2019s ~11–12% rate prices a greenfield with the world\u2019s best undeveloped nickel grade.

Three-state Quality Standard: Sourced / Derived / Absent — no fourth state. Terrain geometry is Derived; absent fields are disclosed, never estimated. Operators/owners named are public-record parties to public assets; no Afrimintel commercial relationship is implied. Screening aid, not an Independent Engineer substitute. Built to survive due diligence.
