Sunrise Energy Metals Syerston

Sunrise peaks on stock market in 2025

Sunrise Energy Metals (ASX:SRL) was marked as the top performing stock in Bloomberg Intelligence’s Transition Metals APAC Returns index for 2025, jumping 2,912.77% over the year.

The Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) pinpointed Sunrise Energy’s share price at $7.70 per share on 13 January 2026, indicating 5.91% increase for that day alone.

Over the past year, Sunrise Energy’s share price ranged from $0.225 up to $8.40. Sunrise Energy has a market capitalisation of $965.53 million. 

Bloomberg’s index highlights Sunrise Energy’s intentions to expand its critical mineral operations last year, attaining Lockheed Martin’s (NYSE:LMT) support in scandium supply agreement for the Syerston Project in New South Wales. 

Lockheed has been granted an option to purchase the first 15 tonnes each year of scandium oxide produced from Syerston, for the initial five years of operation at the project. 

The supply of scandium is predicted to account for 25% of Syerston’s production. This supply will be used to support Lockheed’s current and future product platforms. 

Syerston holds more than 32,000 tonnes of contained scandium, which the company describes as “enough to supply the world for decades to come”.

Scandium is often used in the aerospace and electronics industries for its significance in the production of alloys. It is also used to improve the performance of solid oxide fuel cells as a green power source.
