flag U.S. Ex-Im Bank considers $67M loan for Australia’s scandium project to boost critical mineral supply chains amid China’s export controls.

flag The U.S. Export-Import Bank has shown interest in providing up to $67 million in financing for Sunrise Energy Metals’ Syerston Scandium Project in Australia, which holds the world’s largest and highest-grade scandium deposit. flag The project is seen as key to strengthening U.S. supply chains for critical minerals, especially after China’s 2025 export controls on rare earth metals. flag The funding, potentially under the Supply Chain Resiliency Initiative and China Transformational Exports Program, could offer repayment terms of up to 15 years. flag Sunrise is conducting a feasibility study due in mid to late October and seeking off-take agreements as it moves toward a final investment decision.
