[Aura appoints Jan Booyse and Project EQ]() (PDF p1, Owners team); [Aura appoints leadership team to build Tiris]() (Project Director) ## Education and qualifications ### Extractive-metallurgy background reported; PMP unverified [jan-booyse-education] Professional background at cutoff · issuer reported · low materiality Aura describes Booyse as an extractive metallurgist with West African project experience. Degree, institution and professional certification were not disclosed in the accessible issuer evidence. His LinkedIn profile could not be opened, so a search-index PMP claim was not treated as verified certification. **Attribution:** Responsibility not applicable. Issuer description establishes experience rather than an awarded credential. **Relevance:** Relevant processing/project background with a qualification gap. [Aura board and management biographies]() (Jan Booyse biography) ## Contributions and company outcomes ### Bel Air delivered a mine, with Booyse’s contribution unquantified [jan-booyse-belair-delivery] Bel Air 2018 commissioning · issuer reported · medium materiality Alufer reports first shipment in August 2018, delivery on time/on budget and no lost-time injury during development. Aura lists Bel Air in Booyse’s experience, but neither accessible issuer source establishes his precise tenure or share of delivery responsibility. **Attribution:** Employer context; no individual link established. Project success is verified as an issuer claim; an individual delivery attribution is not established. **Relevance:** A relevant reference project, with less evidential weight than a personally documented delivery. [Bel Air mine development and commissioning]() (Construction and first shipment); [Aura board and management biographies]() (Booyse project experience) ## Business failures and setbacks ### London Mining’s administration is employer/project context [jan-booyse-marampa-insolvency] October 2014 · documented · low materiality Contemporaneous reporting records London Mining entering administration in October 2014 amid debt, falling iron-ore prices and Ebola disruption. Aura lists Marampa in Booyse’s experience, but accessible primary biographies do not establish his event-date employment or responsibility for the financial outcome. **Attribution:** Employer context; no individual link established. No personal insolvency causation is inferred; scraper-only exact career dates were not adopted. **Relevance:** Useful distinction between project credentials and sustainable financial outcomes. [London Mining enters administration]() (Administration and causes); [Aura board and management biographies]() (Marampa experience) ### Tiris development schedule remains unfulfilled [jan-booyse-tiris-delay] July 2024–October 2026 · issuer reported · high materiality The July 2024 plan targeted a mine decision in Q1 2025. Aura reported final engineering estimates delayed the study from September 2026, and released the Tiris bankable feasibility study on 16 October 2026. Pilot commissioning in November and financing and final investment decision by end-2026 remained targets; commercial uranium production had not been demonstrated. **Attribution:** Role overlaps event; causation unproven. Owner’s team appointed July 2024 explicitly to lead project development. Role overlap does not establish that this person caused the delay. **Relevance:** Execution and disclosure discipline matter as Aura moves from studies to financing and construction.

Alufer and Orion deny wrongdoing and cite a JS Held investigation; the investigation itself and separately signed responses were not available. Booyse is not named, and his tenure overlap was not established. No personal breach is inferred. **Attribution:** Employer context; no individual link established. Reviewed full allegations and published responses; no individual link or independent exoneration established. **Relevance:** Employer background context, excluded from personal adverse scoring. [Bel Air pollution and corruption allegations, with company responses]() (Incident narrative and Responses to PPLAAF); [Aura board and management biographies]() (Prior Bel Air experience) ## Suitability for the current role ### Fit for Aura’s next development stage [jan-booyse-fit] Assessment at 10 October 2026 · analyst inference · medium materiality West African owner’s-team and mine-development experience fits project execution. The Tiris timetable is still unfulfilled and earlier project contribution dates are incomplete, limiting confidence in individually attributable delivery. **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. [Aura appoints Jan Booyse and Project EQ]() (PDF pp 1–2); [Aura appoints leadership team to build Tiris]() (Project Director); [Aura FY2026 annual report]() (PDF pp 7–9, Chair’s letter and project/funding status) ## Evidence gaps - Exact London Mining, Alufer and Dynamic start/end dates, budget accountability and measurable personal delivery contributions were not established in accessible primary records. - Degree and current professional-certification records remain unavailable; the LinkedIn source was inaccessible. - PPLAAF’s underlying JS Held report and signed company rebuttals were not accessible; published company responses were reviewed. No later record linked Booyse personally to the 2023 events. - Earlier 10 October person/topic searches were inherited and were not independently reproduced in the 31 October refresh; the later search was targeted rather than a complete repeat of every topic.
