Having worked on the buy side, the sell side and as an in-house investor relations leader at NYSE- and TSX-listed companies, Ken understands how investors assess mining companies and how to position a development story with the market. As we advance financing for the Kabanga Nickel Project, Ken's experience and relationships across the North American mining finance community will be important in broadening our shareholder base and communicating the Lifezone Metals story to our stakeholders."
