18. Lease liabilities
Lifezone's leases include leases of office space, warehouse and accommodation units in Tanzania and Australia. Right-of-use (“ROU”) lease assets and lease liabilities are recognized for such leases at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Lifezone does not recognize a related ROU asset and lease liability for a lease term of twelve months or less.
For the three months ended September 30, 2026, and September 30, 2025, Lifezone recognized an expense of $66,777 and $106,694, respectively, relating to short-term leases. For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, and September 30, 2025, Lifezone recognized an expense of $194,430 and $322,708, respectively, relating to short-term leases. During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, Lifezone extended the term of its office lease in Perth, Australia by two years.
