It doesn't help that the footnote references in the BMC report has links that were made ALL CAPS, and thus invalid. But I found a year-end 2021 report which is close. The authors of this article made a rookie mistake, so I responded:
The BMC claim is 0.16% "of the world's energy production". As in all energy -- including hydrocarbons and nuclear. Your article makes a false claim there.
A 2021 BP report shows global energy consumption is 595 EJ, which is 165,278 TWh. BMC says mining is 247 TWh. That's ~0.15%.

Actually it is a 2022 report, so I deleted the Tweet and did another with correct year.

The 2022 report from the BP website is:
