Good decisions are built on good knowledge. That's not a new idea — it's as old as wisdom itself.

The critical minerals market is one of the most consequential markets on earth. The minerals flowing through its supply chains power electric vehicles, defence systems, renewable energy infrastructure, and the technologies reshaping modern life. And for much of its history, pricing has been fragmented, data has been siloed, and transparency has been available only to those who could afford it.

That's the problem we set out to solve.

From Minerals Platform to Perth Critical Minerals Platform

In September 2025, Sustainable Platform launched MineralsPlatform.com — a direct response to the opacity that had long defined this market. Drawing on more than eight years of proprietary data, the platform delivered independent pricing on minerals like lithium, gallium, hafnium, and NdPr, using a methodology aligned with IOSCO Principles for Financial Benchmarks.

It was a start. But the ambition was always bigger.

In 2026, that ambition took its full form: the Perth Critical Minerals Platform — PCMP.

Built on the same research foundation, PCMP is a step change in scope and depth. Where Minerals Platform focused on pricing, PCMP covers the entire value chain. Where Minerals Platform served as a data service, PCMP is a full intelligence platform — built for every participant in the critical minerals ecosystem, from explorers and refiners to procurement teams, fund managers, and government agencies.

What PCMP gives you

Independent pricing across 68+ minerals, with up to ten years of historical records. Corporate intelligence on 7,900+ companies in more than 160 countries. Full mine-to-market supply chain mapping. Price forecasts with scenario modelling to 2050. An impact matrix covering carbon intensity, water usage, and regulatory risk. And The Analyst — an AI tool grounded in investor knowledge and PCMP-verified sources.

All of it from Perth: the city responsible for the world's second-highest volume of physical critical mineral trade, home to more listed critical minerals companies than anywhere else on earth, and the operational hub for global resource development.

Why it matters

The energy transition is made of minerals — lithium, cobalt, rare earths extracted from the ground, refined, traded, and manufactured into the technologies we depend on. The teams making procurement decisions, investment calls, and policy choices in this space deserve the same quality of intelligence that the world's largest institutions have long paid a premium for.

Stewardship of the earth's resources starts with understanding them clearly.
