Catalyst Metals Limited has reported its Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions for the year ended 30 June 2026, disclosing 92,053 tonnes of CO2-e for Scope 1 and 19 tonnes of CO2-e for Scope 2. The company has applied the operational control approach to establish its organisational boundary for the reporting of GHG emissions, aligning with its mandatory regulatory reporting obligations under the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Act 2007 (NGER Act).
Material actions and disclosures
Catalyst has measured its Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions in accordance with the methodologies prescribed under the NGER Act and AASB S2 Climate-related Disclosures. The emissions data is derived from fuel consumption and electricity usage records across the company’s mining and processing sites, aligned with NGER reporting requirements.
The company’s emissions profile is primarily driven by natural gas used for electricity generation and diesel consumption across mining and processing operations. Catalyst has not reported biogenic CO2 emissions in Scope 1 GHG emissions, although it has considered biogenic emissions in preparing its climate-related disclosures.
Catalyst’s emissions data is subject to inherent uncertainties arising from reliance on activity data and emission factors. The company will continue to monitor developments and the applicability of relevant standards and market practices.
For the reporting period, Catalyst has applied first-year transition relief and has not disclosed Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions. The company plans to disclose Scope 3 emissions from FY2027 onwards.
Climate-related risks and opportunities were assessed across the Group’s principal operating assets and business activities. The majority of operating assets and business activities were identified as having some degree of exposure to climate-related physical and transition risks and opportunities, with the vulnerability generally assessed as limited.
The Audit and Risk Committee (ARC) is responsible for overseeing the identification, management, and mitigation of material climate-related risks and opportunities. The ARC meets at least twice annually to receive updates from management and external advisors on Catalyst’s climate-related risks and opportunities.
During FY2026, the Board formalised this oversight by amending the ARC Charter to include specific reference to climate-related risks and opportunities, extending the Committee’s existing risk oversight mandate to explicitly include climate-related matters.
Catalyst will continue to refine its approach to quantifying vulnerability and alignment, given the absence of a prescribed methodology in AASB S2 and the current stage of Catalyst’s development of data and analytical capabilities.
The company will continue to monitor climate-related developments and improve its internal capabilities, systems, and data to support the ongoing evaluation of climate resilience.
