Aurelia Metals Limited has released its FY26 Sustainability Report, detailing its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and climate resilience strategy. The report outlines the company’s Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions for the financial year, as well as its approach to managing climate-related risks and opportunities.
Material actions and disclosures
The Group’s Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions inventory includes emissions from Peak Gold Mines Pty Ltd, Hera Resources Pty Ltd, Big Island Mining Pty Ltd, and the Brisbane corporate office. The total Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions for FY26 are 86,979 metric tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (t CO2-e).
Aurelia Metals does not currently have formal climate-related targets, reflecting the current stage of maturity of its climate-related data and transition pathway assessment. The company is continuing to monitor these factors and will consider the appropriateness of setting emissions reduction targets in future years.
The Group’s current and planned investments to support climate resilience include operational efficiency initiatives, development of alternative on-site water sources, renewable energy assessments, investment in grid-connected operations, and continued investment in operations producing metals vital for the low-carbon future.
Forward commitments
Future investments will continue to be assessed through the Group’s business planning, capital allocation, and governance processes. The company will continue to monitor climate-related risks and opportunities and will consider setting emissions reduction targets as its analysis, data quality, and implementation pathways continue to develop.
The report also includes a summary of the climate scenarios used in the climate resilience assessment, including the Net Zero Emissions by 2050 Scenario and the Current Policies Scenario. These scenarios were informed by the International Energy Agency (IEA), the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), and the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6).
The Group’s assessment is that its strategy and business model remain resilient to the climate-related scenarios considered, although this conclusion is subject to significant uncertainties.
The report was reviewed by Ernst & Young, who provided limited assurance that the selective sustainability information is free from material misstatement.
