Sunrise Energy Metals (ASX: SRL)
Sam Riggall, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer
A true powerhouse of New South Wales’ emerging critical minerals sector, the Syerston Scandium Project is rapidly becoming one of the most compelling and advanced critical mineral developments in the country. Located in the Central West of NSW, the project sits on Mining Lease 1770 (ML1770) — a fully permitted, development ready critical minerals asset.
Backed by an exceptional geological database — 1,940 drill holes, 73,870 metres of drilling and 47,817 assays — the project’s Mineral Resource Estimate highlights both scale and quality:
- Global Resource (300 ppm Sc cut-off): 60.3 Mt @ 390 ppm Sc for 9,583 tonnes contained scandium, with 40% in the Measured and Indicated categories.
- High-Grade Zones (600 ppm Sc cut-off): 0.8 Mt @ 663 ppm Sc for 501 tonnes contained scandium, with 88% classified as Measured and Indicated.
The project is led by a board featuring one of the mining industry’s most influential figures – Sam Riggall, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer — bringing global attention and credibility to this NSW critical minerals success story.
Investor interest has been extraordinary, with the company’s stock up 1700% year to date, reflecting growing recognition of scandium’s role in aerospace alloys, clean energy technologies and next generation materials.
Scandium is essential for high performance alloys and advanced semiconductor technologies. With one of the world’s largest and highest grade scandium resources, the Syerston Scandium Project is positioned to supply a reliable, scalable Western source of this critical metal.
Sunrise Energy Metals (ASX: SRL) also owns the Sunrise Nickel–Cobalt Project, one of the largest and highest grade nickel–cobalt deposits in the Western world. The project hosts 180 Mt @ 0.53% Ni and 0.10% Co, containing 940,000 tonnes of nickel and 170,000 tonnes of cobalt, with 89% of the resource in the Measured and Indicated categories – a development ready asset of global strategic significance.
Join us to hear the full story behind this remarkable critical minerals portfolio, the development pathway ahead and why it has captured both market and industry attention. Lunch from midday followed by presentations and Q&A.
