## Suitability for the current role
### Leadership role reconciled to cutoff-date issuer page [nathan_chapman_issuer_reconciled]
At cutoff 9 October 2026 · analyst inference · medium materiality
The dated issuer leadership page identifies Chapman as Exploration Manager; no start date or attributable exploration outcome was established. A July 2025 ASX statement names him as a Competent Person and identifies him as a member of the Australian Institute of Geoscientists; the issuer states he compiled and consented to exploration results. A degree was not established from that source.
**Attribution:** Responsibility not applicable. Issuer leadership roles establish current functional scope, but career chronology and attributable outcomes are not adequately disclosed.
**Relevance:** Relevant to executive assessment; sources do not establish personal causation.

## Evidence gaps
- The issuer leadership page supplies no start date or full biography for this role.
