Sunrise Energy Metals Sunrise Project Draws Attention With Scandium and Cobalt Supply Potential Sunrise Energy Metals highlighted the scale of its Sunrise project in New South Wales, describing it as one of the world’s largest scandium deposits. A feasibility study is due by March 2026 and targets about 60 tonnes per year of scandium oxide under a multi-decade mine plan. The company also confirmed that Lockheed Martin holds an option over early scandium oxide output.
The company also outlined that Sunrise hosts one of the largest cobalt resources outside the Democratic Republic of Congo, framing it as a potential non-DRC source of cobalt as demand for electric vehicle battery materials evolves.
Sunrise Energy Metals shares last traded at A$16.94, with the stock up 115.8% year to date, and recent news has coincided with renewed investor interest in its critical minerals exposure.
The combination of a long-life scandium plan, a Lockheed Martin option and significant cobalt resources concentrates attention on execution risk, particularly around funding, timelines and eventual offtake terms.
