The NT Local Court later recorded that mine operator OM (Manganese) Ltd pleaded guilty to one category 2 offence for failing to ensure safety and exposing workers to risk of death or serious injury, and fined it A$487,500. The court also recorded cooperation, early plea, remorse and remedial steps. Low was OMH executive chairman/CEO in the relevant period, creating group-level role overlap; the judgment identifies the subsidiary as offender and does not find Low personally liable or responsible for the operational failures. **Attribution:** Role overlaps event; causation unproven. Low’s senior parent-company role overlaps the period, but the court judgment establishes no personal culpability or operational involvement by him. **Relevance:** Material context for assessing oversight of a mining group after a fatality; keep subsidiary conviction distinct from an individual finding.
