Revenue model

1. Pre-Revenue Exploration Stage: ETM is currently pre-revenue with minimal revenue (approximately A$20,000) and continues to incur losses. The company has no meaningful revenue and relies on external capital for operations.
2. Mineral Concentrate Sales: Future revenue expected from offtake agreements for tin, tantalum, and niobium concentrates from the Penouta mine in Spain, with Traxys Europe holding exclusive rights to market, distribute, and sell products to end users.

Core offering

Energy Transition Minerals is a pre-revenue Australian exploration and development company focused on rare earth elements and critical minerals essential for the energy transition. The company is developing three core projects: the Kvanefjeld rare earth deposit in Greenland (claimed world-largest with over 1 billion tons of resources), the Amitsoq rare earth exploration project in Greenland, and the proposed Penouta tin-tantalum-niobium mine acquisition in Spain. Target minerals include neodymium, praseodymium, and heavy rare earths vital for EV motors, wind turbines, and advanced electronics.

Product overview

Energy Transition Minerals (ETM) is an ASX-listed Australian exploration and development company focused on rare earth elements and critical minerals essential for the energy transition. The company's portfolio consists of three core projects: the Kvanefjeld Project (a world-class rare earth and uranium deposit in Greenland with over a billion tons of resources), the Amitsoq Project (a Greenland rare earth exploration asset targeting neodymium, praseodymium and heavy rare earths), and the Penouta Mine (a strategic European tin-tantalum-niobium operation in Spain). ETM operates as an exploration-stage company with no meaningful revenue, positioning itself as a potential Western supply chain alternative for critical minerals currently dominated by China.

Functional benefit

Products and services

• Kvanefjeld Project A world-class rare earth deposit in Greenland containing significant rare earth elements, uranium, and zinc. Targets neodymium, praseodymium, and heavy rare earths used in EV motors and wind turbines, with over a billion tons of proven mineral resources. Currently stalled following Greenland's rejection of licence renewal under the 2021 Uranium Act.
• Amitsoq Project A rare earth exploration project in Greenland that contains neodymium, praseodymium and heavy rare earths vital for EVs and renewables. Positive metallurgical testwork has confirmed high recoveries for key REE oxides, supporting development of a maiden resource estimate.
• Penouta Mine A tin, tantalum, and niobium mine in Spain containing a non-JORC resource of 76.3Mt at 142ppm Ta2O5 equivalent. It is considered one of the few sources of all three critical minerals in a single operation in the Western hemisphere. Subect to completion of acquisition pending mining licence transfer.

Quantifiable outcome

• Demand for rare earths projected to quadruple by 2040

Partnerships

Two partnerships are on record, tiered core.

• Traxys EuropecoreChannel Partner/ Reseller/ Distributor · 1 May 2026ETM entered into a non-binding MoU with Traxys Europe for up to 100% offtake of tin, tantalum, and niobium concentrates from the Penouta mine in Spain. Binding documentation is currently being finalised. Under the agreement, Traxys will receive exclusive rights to market, distribute, and sell the products to end users, with pricing based on prevailing market values and consumer terms. The agreement is valid for 12 months renewable or six years from first production.
• Spanish GovernmentcoreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 1 April 2026ETM secured foreign direct investment approval from the Spanish Government for its proposed acquisition of the Penouta tin and tantalum mine, with completion contingent only on transfer of mining licenses expected the same quarter. The Penouta mine is a strategic European critical minerals asset containing non-JORC resource of 76.3Mt at 142ppm Ta2O5 equivalent.

Direct peers

• Lynas Rare Earths: Largest non-Chinese rare earth producer, operating the Mt Weld mine in Australia and Kalgoorlie processing facility. Most direct comparable to ETM's Kvanefjeld/Amitsoq REE projects as an ASX-listed Western REE developer with both mining and processing assets.
• MP Materials: US-listed operator of the Mountain Pass rare earth mine in California, the only scaled US REE producer. Directly comparable to ETM in targeting NdPr for EV/wind magnets with explicit 'Western supply chain alternative to China' positioning and US DoD backing.
• Arafura Resources: ASX-listed developer of the Nolans rare earth project in Northern Australia, targeting NdPr oxide production. Closely comparable as an ASX-listed pre-revenue REE developer focused on NdPr-heavy rare earths for EV/wind supply chains.
• Pensana PLC: UK-listed rare earth developer with the Longonjo project in Angola and Saltend processing hub in the UK. Comparable as a Western-listed REE developer pursuing integrated mine-to-oxide strategy outside China, with similar funding-stage profile.
• Vital Metals: Australian-listed REE developer with the Nechalacho project in Canada's Northwest Territories. Comparable as a small-cap pre-revenue REE developer with first-mover concentrate production from a non-Chinese source, targeting similar NdPr/heavy REE markets.

Broad incumbents

• Iluka Resources: ASX-listed major mineral sands producer (rutile, zircon) developing the Eneabba rare earth refinery in Western Australia. Larger incumbent with diversified mineral sands business that has moved into downstream REE processing — comparable on the Australian REE/refractory minerals theme.

Emerging players

• USA Rare Earth: US-listed pre-revenue REE developer with the Round Top deposit in Texas and magnet manufacturing ambitions. Comparable as an emerging Western REE developer pursuing mine-to-magnet vertical integration outside China.
• Neo Performance Materials: Canada-listed processor of rare earth and rare metals into engineered materials, with operations in China and Europe. Comparable as a non-Chinese-controlled REE processor addressing the same NdPr magnet supply chain ETM targets, though focused downstream of mining.
