New York (United States), Oct. 12, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lifezone Metals Limited (“Lifezone Metals” or the “Company”) (NYSE: LZM), a modern metals company creating value across the battery metals supply chain from resource to metals production and recycling, announced today that Evan Young has joined the Company as Senior Vice President of Investor Relations and Capital Markets.
Lifezone Metals has additionally released a schedule of the investor conferences that it plans to participate in during Q4 2023.
Evan Young brings more than 15 years of metals and mining capital markets experience to Lifezone Metals and will lead the investor relations program
Mr. Young joins Lifezone Metals from Ivanhoe Electric Inc., where he served as Vice President, Corporate Development and played an important role in the successful NYSE and TSX dual-listing initial public offering completed in June 2022.
Chris Showalter, CEO of Lifezone Metals, said: “We are excited to bring Evan onto the Lifezone Metals team. He brings significant capital markets experience in the metals and mining industry and played an integral role in bringing public a minerals exploration and technology company roughly 18 months ago. We are still relatively new to the public markets, and Evan’s skills will be critical in telling and enhancing the Lifezone Metals equity story to the financial community. We look forward to him leading our investor relations and capital markets programs as we look to expand our shareholder base.”
Commenting on his appointment at Lifezone Metals, Evan Young said: “The combination of Lifezone Metals’ world-class high-grade Kabanga Nickel project, its differentiated Hydromet Technology and its focus on delivering metals in a cleaner supply chain makes it truly unique. The world needs more companies like Lifezone Metals to meet our growing global demand for the scarce metals required to electrify everything, all-the-while investors are placing an increased emphasis on sustainable sourcing practices. I am looking forward to meeting with investors and other members of the financial community during the upcoming Q4 conference season and beyond.”
Mr. Young joined the Ivanhoe group of companies in 2017, where he had an evolving role in investor relations and corporate development for both public and private minerals exploration and technology companies. Prior to his tenure at the Ivanhoe companies, Mr. Young served as Director, Investor Relations for Primero Mining Corp., a NYSE and TSX dual-listed company with gold mining operations in Mexico and Canada. Mr. Young also worked in equity research at the boutique Canadian brokerage Haywood Securities Inc. and as an investment banking analyst at BMO Capital Markets in the Metals and Mining group.

Nothing herein should be regarded as a representation by any person that the forward-looking statements set forth herein will be achieved or that any of the contemplated results in such forward-looking statements will be achieved. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements in this communication, which speak only as of the date they are made and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the cautionary statements herein.
Certain statements made herein include references to “clean” or “green” metals, methods of production of such metals, energy or the future in general. Such references relate to environmental benefits such as lower green-house gas (“GHG”) emissions and energy consumption involved in the production of metals using the Hydromet Technology relative to the use of traditional methods of production and the use of metals such as nickel in the batteries used in electric vehicles. While studies by third parties (commissioned by Lifezone Metals) have shown that the Hydromet Technology, under certain conditions, results in lower GHG emissions and lower consumption of electricity compared to smelting with respect to refining platinum group metals, no active refinery currently licenses Lifezone Metals’ Hydromet Technology. Accordingly, Lifezone Metals’ Hydromet Technology and the resultant metals may not achieve the environmental benefits to the extent Lifezone Metals expects or at all. Any overstatement of the environmental benefits in this regard may have adverse implications for Lifezone Metals and its stakeholders.
