The Melbourne-based Sunrise Energy Metals is developing the Sunrise nickel, cobalt and scandium mine and mineral processing facility north of Condobolin in Central West NSW.

Once constructed, the Sunrise Project will become one of the world’s largest suppliers of nickel and cobalt sulphate, materials that are essential for the lithium ion batteries used in electric vehicles.

Over its three-year construction, the Sunrise workforce is forecast to peak at 1700 full-time equivalent jobs. The project’s steady-state operational workforce will generate over 370 ongoing jobs.

The project will secure renewable energy from the NSW electricity grid to supply 100 per cent of its external power requirements. The commitment to secure renewable energy is estimated to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 4.6 million tonnes, equivalent to taking more than one million cars off the road for a year.

It will also lower Sunrise’s estimated carbon emissions, giving it one of the lowest carbon footprints for battery-grade nickel production in the world.

“Sunrise will be one of the world’s largest suppliers of battery grade nickel and cobalt sulphate and we have also demonstrated the capability to make precursor cathode active material on-site,” CEO Sam Riggall said.“Australia has an enormous opportunity in the critical minerals sector. We have all of the minerals in the ground that are essential components of EV batteries and existing logistics network that connect many of these sites.”
