**Relevance:** Relevant disclosure and geology experience.

## Suitability for the current role

### Geology background [james_fit]

2021–2026 · analyst inference · medium materiality

The issuer reports geology-manager work at Red 5’s King of the Hills. ABC independently identified a same-name geology superintendent there in 2021; exact total tenure and qualifications are not independently verified.

**Attribution:** Responsibility not applicable. The role-fit assessment uses employer and contemporary media evidence; namesake risk and exact dates remain.

**Relevance:** Assesses fit for geology and JORC reporting.

## Evidence gaps

- Independent degree, AusIMM membership record, exact King of the Hills tenure and current precise title remain unverified.

- Full court, regulatory, prior-employer outcome and investigation checks remain incomplete.
