FY2026 reports zero injuries/significant incidents and emergency/journey controls. No exposure-hour denominator or independently verified production-scale performance is provided. **Attribution:** Individual involvement documented. Implementation responsibility is explicit; the company-wide incident outcome is not personally causal evidence. **Relevance:** Relevant preparation for construction and radiation-related operations.

It says an independently led investigation identified an incomplete tyre-lockring seating and subsequent safety measures. The company separately reports other deaths outside its workplace statistic. De La Haye had an earlier HSE role at Perseus, but event-date tenure and individual responsibility have not been established. **Attribution:** Employer context; no individual link established. No personal causation or regulatory finding against her is established. All reported death scopes are retained rather than collapsed into one count. **Relevance:** Material employer safety history; personal oversight attribution remains uncertain.

These are preparation and control activities, not evidence of a producing mine’s environmental performance. **Attribution:** Role overlaps event; causation unproven. HSSE implementation responsibility overlaps preparation; permitting and operational outcomes have not been independently attributed. **Relevance:** The remaining operating evidence matters for a uranium project requiring water, tailings and radiation controls.

De La Haye’s former Anvil Kulu/regional role is disclosed, but 2004 event-date employment and a Kilwa role were not established. **Attribution:** Employer context; no individual link established. She is not named in the reviewed court record; Kulu and the Kilwa/Dikulushi context are not treated as the same assignment. **Relevance:** Historical employer screening context, excluded as evidence of personal wrongdoing.

Current controls are issuer-reported and earlier safety-event tenure remains incomplete, limiting conclusions about individual operating safety performance. **Attribution:** Responsibility not applicable. Analytical judgment based on the cited career and delivery evidence. **Relevance:** Professional suitability for the disclosed role; this is not a personal integrity score.
