ICMM's new Dataset is the most comprehensive publicly available compilation of mining and metals facilities globally, including 15,188 mines and processing facilities covering 47 different primary commodities. Key insights from this first Dataset:- The mining and metals industry is global, but its footprint is unevenly distributed, with China, Australia and the USA accounting for approximately 45 per cent of all facilities. - Coal, gold, copper, and iron ore are the most represented primary commodities by number of mines, with coal mines comprising 43 per cent of all mines. - Metal mining and extractive metallurgy (smelters, refineries and steel plants)) often occur in different regions. China is recorded as having the largest number of metallurgical facilities in the Dataset (426). LONDON, Sept. 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, ICMM launches its Global Mining Dataset to address the lack of reliable, standardised data for the mining and metals sector. ICMM is embarking on a multi-year initiative that aims to significantly improve and transform the quality and accessibility of sector information by building robust, transparent data that can inform policy and advance wider discussions about mining and metals' evolving role in sustainable development. As demand for minerals and metals grows to support the energy transition and sustainable development, there is an urgent need to overcome the longstanding lack of quality data that has hindered the ability of policymakers, investors, civil society, and the industry itself to draw fully informed opinions, craft effective regulations, and truly understand both the impact and contribution of the sector. The first step in this initiative, has been the development of the 'Global Mining Dataset: Understanding the global distribution of mining and metals facilities' report which identifies how many mines, smelters, refineries and processing plants exist worldwide, where they are located, and what they produce. The Dataset was developed with support from Accenture, Global Energy Monitor, and Skarn Associates— with access to other public1 and proprietary sources2. Rohitesh Dhawan, President and CEO, ICMM, said, "ICMM's foundational Dataset shows that over 75% of national economies have at least some connection to large-scale mining or mineral processing. Having a global view of the location, type, commodity and footprint of these facilities is essential to inform the right public and policy debates for this critical sector. With minerals and metals at the heart of the energy transition and geopolitical shifts, robust, global, industry-wide data has never been more critical. "I'm proud to be able to say that ICMM's new Dataset is currently the most comprehensive publicly available compilation of mining and metals facilities globally. We hope this data will continue to expand and improve through partnerships, while we work on key sustainability indicators based on this for release in the coming months." Janez Potočnik, Co-Chair of the International Resource Panel, commented: "Reliable, transparent, and consolidated data on the mining and metals industry is a foundational prerequisite for evidence-based policymaking, effective governance, and global progress towards sustainability targets. Only with robust data can we fully understand the sector's environmental, social, and economic impacts, monitor progress, and ensure accountability throughout global supply chains. The work of ICMM is an important contribution towards this vision." Dr Emma Gagen, Director of Data and Research, ICMM, said: "Existing global data about the mining and metals sector is either incomplete, inconsistent, commodity- or region-specific, or locked behind paywalls, so transforming the information landscape that surrounds the sector is critical. Even such basic statistics as the number of mines, refineries and smelters globally have been difficult to determine in the past. "Moving beyond fragmented reports to establish a credible source of information that captures mining and metals' multifaceted contributions and impacts is not a task we can—or want to—undertake alone. We invite regional and global partners from academia, consultancies, governments or commodity and national associations, to join us as we seek to close gaps in our current data to improve its accuracy, confidence and coverage, as well as build out future datasets." The Dataset is likely an underestimate of the total number of large-scale mining and minerals processing facilities in the world based on its methodology.

Upward revision to Estimate comes amidst reported supply shortages of rare earth elements Feasibility Study to be completed later this month Highlights: Measured and Indicated Mineral Resource materially increases following a step out drilling campaign at the Syerston Scandium Project, which now comprises: a global resource of 19,007 tonnes of contained scandium (at a 300 g/t Sc cut-off) at an average grade of 414 g/t (a 98% increase in contained metal, with over 90% of the global resource now in Measured and Indicated categories); and a high-grade resource of 1,155 tonnes of contained scandium (at a 600 g/t Sc cut-off) at an average grade of 665 g/t (a 161% increase in contained metal, with over 99% of the high-grade resource now in Measured and Indicated categories). Recent negotiations with scandium traders in North America indicate a significant tightening of scandium supply, and a marked increase in scandium prices since the imposition of China's export licensing restrictions on the metal in April 2025. The Syerston Feasibility Study is due for completion in late September and will support the Company's on-going discussions regarding financing and offtake. MELBOURNE, Australia, Sept. 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Sunrise Energy Metals Limited ("Sunrise" or the "Company") (ASX:SRL; OTC:SREMF) Co-Chairman Robert Friedland, and Chief Executive Officer Sam Riggall, announce today an update to the Mineral Resource Estimate for the Syerston Scandium Project in NSW, Australia. Sunrise Energy Metals CEO, Sam Riggall, commented: "Global scandium supply remains tight since China's export controls were imposed in April 2025, positioning Syerston as a strategically important source for future scandium supply. Our focus now turns to completing the Feasibility Study and evaluating various financing options for the Project." Mr Friedland also commented: "The Syerston Scandium Project will bolster the supply of one of the most important rare earth metals at a time when supply disruptions are becoming the norm. The world we knew - built on globalized and integrated supply chains for strategic metals - is past, perhaps forever. Geopolitical competition over key technologies using these metals requires a complete rebuilding of the world's metal supply chains. This is not just an industrial imperative. It is an imperative that strives for a safer and more balanced approach to world affairs, one built on diversified and reliable supply chains stretching back to the mines that have, for millennia, produced the metals that are catalysts for human progress."
