Wood Mackenzie introduces Assets Valuations, Supply Chain, Markets Scenarios to the Lens Metals & Mining platform
Latest data analytics solutions to help energy and mining companies build resilient portfolios in an increasingly volatile market
LONDON, HOUSTON, SINGAPORE, 01 October 2025 – Wood Mackenzie, a global insight business for renewables, energy and natural resources, is to unveil three additions to its Lens Metals & Mining platform at Wood Mackenzie’s LME Forum 2025, delivering Assets Valuations, Markets Scenarios, and Supply Chain. Together, these latest solutions provide the industry an interconnected global view incorporating assets and market analysis that empowers capital allocation decisions.
“Critical minerals are strategic assets that shape global power and the future of the energy transition. These minerals are needed to meet growing demand from data centres, electric cars, and power grids. However, supply chains are disrupted, and global politics are getting more complicated,” said Lindsay Grant, Vice President, Head of Metals & Mining Research at Wood Mackenzie. “Our latest release of Lens Metals & Mining Assets Valuations, Supply Chain and Markets Scenarios helps companies to value mining assets to allocate capital with confidence and give companies the transparency and clarity across the metals supply chain respectively.”

Delivers customisable mining asset and portfolio valuations with industry-leading depth and accuracy. Portfolio managers can run valuations for mining assets, conduct sensitivity analysis and export models, including formulae and fiscal regimes for full auditability and transparency of the valuation model.
Provides the interconnected, cross-commodity view of the global energy and critical minerals landscape, covering copper, lithium, aluminium, nickel and more. Markets Scenarios integrates supply, demand, trade flows and price forecasts under Wood Mackenzie’s Energy Transition scenarios, enabling companies to stress-test portfolios against multiple decarbonisation pathways.
Bringing clarity to opaque and vulnerable supply chains, this AI-enabled solution leverages Wood Mackenzie’s proprietary datasets and deep industry expertise to reveal how climate governance, environmental risks, trade dynamics, and policy shifts could reshape supply chains – from mines and smelters to refiners and end users.
“Volatility is now the norm. Record lead times, concentrated downstream processing capacity, and policy uncertainty mean a single disruption can ripple across industries,” said Charles Cooper, Research Director, Head of Copper Research at Wood Mackenzie. “By combining technical expertise with advanced analytics and commercial insight, we’re helping clients make smarter decisions on where to allocate capital, mitigate risk, and secure long-term value.”
These new capabilities are now available via the Wood Mackenzie Lens platform, with further enhancements planned for 2026.
