A LinkedIn/third-party profile lists geology study and a PhD in progress, which was not treated as an awarded credential. **Attribution:** Responsibility not applicable. Issuer disclosures state the listed credentials; no independent verification with universities/professional bodies was completed. **Relevance:** Qualifications support stated technical/governance fit, subject to credential verification gaps. [Corporate Overview Presentation (10 April 2026)]() (Corporate overview, p. 18; appointment release p. 1; degree verification gap) ## Contributions and company outcomes ### Selected delivery record [aue_ouattara_success] Historic employer milestones and AUE progress to 30 Sep 2026 · issuer reported · medium materiality Aurum’s 2024 appointment release credits Ouattara with overseeing and leading Abujar resource discovery from 0.7Moz in 2016 to 3.8Moz in 2023; Tietto’s FY2020 annual report also names its Ivorian geology team under Ouattara as growing resources. These are issuer-reported team contributions. **Attribution:** Individual involvement documented. Exploration leadership is directly relevant to a resource-growth company; issuer sources connect him to discovery, but no independent technical audit of individual contribution was located. **Relevance:** Relevant to the executive’s current remit; employer and team results do not prove sole personal causation.
