<p>Sunrise Energy Metals Limited (ASX:SRL) is a unique offering in the metals and mining sector, looking to provide a mine-to-cathode, integrated battery raw material project underpinned by the development-ready Sunrise Ni-Co-Sc deposit in NSW. The project as modelled delivers robust economics (NPV:US$1.2bn; IRR: &gt;15%; payback: 5.1 years) on a 50-year mine life and bottom-quartile cash costs. The company has secured the key regulatory approvals and is continuing infrastructure scoping studies (transport, water and power) with financing and off-take discussions progressing. It is important to note the project aims to use 100% renewable power for mining and processing. It is anticipated that first production could be delivered in three years from the awarding of an EPCM contract, the timing of which is uncertain at this point. The minerals industry is increasingly embracing the global shift towards battery metals for transport and energy supply. Sunrise Energy provides a strong point of investment differentiation to its sector alternatives with its integrated manufacturing approach and tangible commitment to industry low-carbon nickel production using 100% renewable power.</p>

<h3>Business model</h3>
<p>Sunrise Energy Metals is a company in pre-development seeking to move its integrated mine-to-cathode project into a production phase. With key project approvals in place and $250mn invested to date the project is well advanced. The company’s next steps are to secure development financing and off-take commitments to underpin the awarding of an EPCM contract. Should additional working capital be required, this may require recourse to equity markets.</p>
<h3>On track and making progress at Sunrise</h3>
<p>Over the most recent quarter, the company continued to progress the Sunrise Battery Metals Project, progressing scoping works on the remaining applications – tying into the state electricity grid and water pipeline construction. Whilst not the primary focus, further studies were directed towards development applications associated with the associated scandium opportunity, which could provide significant additional revenue stream and cost offsets. We note ongoing exploration activity within the portfolio, aiming to discover expansion or extension resources for the project; and highlight new Co-Sc mineralisation identified at the Tout East Prospect immediately adjacent to the Sunrise ML, albeit all early- stage.</p>
<h3>A point of differentiation – mine to product</h3>
<p>The company is seeking to secure a niche in the global shift to battery technology as an integrated mine-to-product producer. By seeking to optimise returns across the value chain, the company represents an investment with a critical point of differentiation. A development-ready mining project with long-life JORC resources suggests relatively low technical risk and being located in NSW underpins a stable political and economic jurisdiction, compared to other project in a pre-development phase. The macro-operating environment also remains highly supportive on upstream supply constraints (few new Ni-Co projects in train) and increasing, sustainable demand all underpinning a robust commercial outlook. The project is not without risk though. Arms-length validation through off-take agreements with reputable counter-parties and financial closure need to be secured.</p>
