## Contributions and company outcomes

### Selected delivery record [aue_wang_success]

Historic employer milestones and AUE progress to 30 Sep 2026 · issuer reported · medium materiality

At Tietto, Wang founded and led an explorer through ASX listing, a reported 3.8Moz Abujar discovery, construction and commercial production; a March 2023 dated release says first gold was delivered. AUE’s Boundiali resource grew to 3.22Moz and the June 2026 PFS reported a 1.21Moz probable reserve, but production remains a target, not delivered.

**Attribution:** Individual involvement documented. Tietto leadership period overlapped the discovery-to-mine milestones; AUE MD role overlaps the resource/PFS approvals and project decisions, but no personal credit for the full team result is established.

**Relevance:** Relevant to the executive’s current remit; employer and team results do not prove sole personal causation.

## Governance and interests

### Unresolved ASX continuous-disclosure query [aue_wang_disclosure_query]

30 Sep–7 Oct 2026 · documented · high materiality

On 30 September 2026, AUE issued a cleansing notice relating to 95,454,580 placement shares; assay information later released on 1 October was acknowledged by AUE as price-sensitive. The 7 October response said assessment and interpretation completed after the notice and defended validity. ASX correspondence asked questions but is not a finding of breach.

**Attribution:** Role overlaps event; causation unproven. The query was addressed to the company; the director/company-secretary roles overlap with governance and disclosure oversight, but the correspondence does not connect any person to a deliberate or negligent breach.

**Relevance:** Material to listed-company disclosure controls and investor trust; remains unresolved at cutoff.

## Suitability for the current role

### Role fit and evidence limits [aue_wang_role_fit]

Current role and career to cutoff · analyst inference · medium materiality

Mining-engineering education, 25 years’ reported mining/exploration experience and prior founder-led gold project build are highly relevant to an Ivorian gold developer; execution at Aurum has not yet been proven through construction/production.

**Attribution:** Responsibility not applicable. This is an evidence-based role-fit judgment, not an outcome attribution.

**Relevance:** Experience fits the company's development/exploration stage and role as described; individual delivery in current role remains to be demonstrated.
