Aurelia Metals Limited has released its FY26 Sustainability Report, detailing its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and strategies for climate resilience. The report outlines the company’s GHG emissions inventory, which includes Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions from its operations in New South Wales, Australia. The total emissions for FY26 were 86,979 metric tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (t CO2-e).
Material actions and disclosures
The Group’s operations are all located within New South Wales, Australia, with a Head Office in Queensland, Australia. Therefore, all GHG emissions are measured and reported in accordance with the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting (NGER) framework. Additional emissions that are reported but are not covered by the NGER framework, are reported in accordance with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol.
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 emissions for FY26 were 86,979 metric tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (t CO2-e).
The Group does not currently have formal climate-related targets, reflecting the current stage of maturity of its climate-related data and transition pathway assessment. However, the Group is committed to monitoring these factors and considering the appropriateness of setting emissions reduction targets in future years.
Forward commitments
The Group’s current and planned investments that 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. These investments are expected to support mitigation of climate-related risks, adaptation to physical climate hazards, and the ability to capture opportunities associated with the energy transition.
Future investments will continue to be assessed through the Group’s business planning, capital allocation, and governance processes.
The Group’s assessment of climate resilience did not identify a need to fundamentally change its strategy or business model at the reporting date. However, significant areas of uncertainty were considered, including how the climate in far-west New South Wales may continue to change, life of mine planning, and the pace and timing of the electricity sector’s transition to a low-carbon system.
These strategies and disclosures are part of the Group’s broader commitment to sustainability and climate-related matters, as overseen by the Board and supported by internal and external expertise.
