## Personal achievements

### FY26 Board-assessed KMP scorecard [martin_cummings_fy26_scorecard]

FY2026, 1 July 2025–30 June 2026 · issuer reported · medium materiality

Aurelia’s audited FY26 remuneration report records a 75% business outcome and 130% individual outcome for Martin Cummings, producing a weighted STI outcome of 86% of target and an A$223,303 award (57% of maximum). The report’s common business scorecard gave no credit for TRIFR (7.54 against a &lt;5.93 target), threshold credit for Peak controllable costs (A$339/t against A$309/t target) and Great Cobar schedule, stretch credit for gold production and the New Occidental maiden resource, and Board-adjusted base-metal assessment. The report does not disclose the individual criteria behind Cummings’s 130% score, so the Board rating is evidence of its assessment, not an independently verified personal delivery record.

**Attribution:** Individual involvement documented. The audited remuneration report directly assigns the published individual and weighted STI scores to Cummings; it does not disclose the underlying individual scorecard measures.

**Relevance:** Provides a documented Board assessment during his CFO tenure and shows that positive personal scoring coexisted with mixed company safety, cost and development metrics.

## Suitability for the current role

### Documented role scope and role fit [martin_cummings_role_fit]

Current role at cutoff · analyst inference · low materiality

Martin Cummings joined Aurelia as CFO in December 2022, served as interim CEO from 25 July until Steve Badenhorst commenced 6 October 2026, and is recorded as a joint Company Secretary from November 2025. His finance title after the CEO transition is not established by the reviewed cutoff evidence. Before Aurelia he held senior finance, investor-relations, commercial, treasury and project-approvals roles at Evolution Mining, Newcrest and Lihir. Aurelia reports a Bachelor of Commerce (Accounting), Graduate Diploma of Corporate Governance and Risk Management, and CPA Australia membership. This supports relevant finance and governance experience; no causal claim about company outcomes is made.

**Attribution:** Responsibility not applicable. This is a limited role-scope inference from the issuer-documented position; it is not an outcome or personal-performance claim.

**Relevance:** The role is pertinent to oversight or execution of the company’s disclosed business; evidence on individual effectiveness is limited.

## Evidence gaps

- The reviewed source set does not resolve Cummings’s finance remit after Badenhorst took office on 6 October 2026; company-secretary service is documented.

- Prior employer titles, tenure dates and performance outcomes remain incomplete where no dates were provided in the opened biographies; no personal causal attribution is inferred from company results.

- Credential and education claims are reported by issuer or secondary biography and were not independently checked with issuing institutions or professional bodies.

- Person-specific open-web searches are not exhaustive court, regulator, sanctions, safety, environmental or credential checks; a no-relevant-finding result is not a clearance.
