MONITORING AND EVALUATION LEAD

Tembo Nickel Corporation Limited (“Tembo Nickel”) is an operating company formed via the Framework Agreement (19 January 2021) between Kabanga Nickel Limited (“Kabanga Nickel”) and the Government of Tanzania (“GoT”)for development of the Kabanga nickel deposits in Ngara District, Kagera Region, Tanzania (“Kabanga Nickel Project”). Linder the Framework Agreement terms, Tembo (owned 84% by Kabanga Nickel and 16% by GoT) has been formally established for the mining, processing, and refining of battery-grade nickel with cobalt and copper by-products.

Kabanga is among the world’s largest high-grade undeveloped nickel sulphide deposits, with exploration upside on existing licenses. Once in operation, the Kabanga Nickel Project will produce battery-grade nickel, cobalt, and copper refined metals in Tanzania. The Tembo Nickel’s Kahama Multi-Metals Processing Facility (MMPF)will use Hydromet Technology by Lifezone Metals. Hydromet Technology is significantly more cost efficient than smelting. It will reduce the carbon footprint, minimise environmental impact, lower capital, and production costs, and contribute significantly to the economic growth of Tanzania.
