Its June 2026 quarterly report then states there were no injuries or incidents in the quarter, a zero LTIFR for FY2026 to date, and 473 days without an LTI at quarter end. These are issuer-reported site-level events; no source attributes either incident to Andre Bergh. His role as PCZM General Manager is documented, but the reviewed source does not establish his tenure start against these incident dates. **Attribution:** Employer context; no individual link established. The issuer discloses site-level events. Andre is identified as PCZM GM in later records, but the start date for that role is not established against the incident dates; no personal causation or breach is established. **Relevance:** Relevant to operational leadership and safety oversight; the record has both a prior LTI and a later injury-free period.

This is a legacy site issue disclosed by the issuer; the record reviewed does not attribute its creation, control failure or remediation performance to this executive. It is not evidence of an executive environmental breach. Marcus’s sustainability remit overlaps environmental monitoring; Andre’s Prieska GM remit does not establish responsibility for the Okiep legacy issue. **Attribution:** Employer context; no individual link established. Orion’s study identifies an inherited site condition; no personal causation or regulatory finding against this executive was identified in the source. **Relevance:** Relevant to ESG oversight and legacy-liability management; scope and attribution remain limited.

CEO Errol Smart specifically described the Prieska DFS project team as led by GM Andre Bergh. The March 2025 study is a completed feasibility study, not a commissioned mine or proof of operating delivery. The evidence supports relevance of prior/current experience, but is insufficient to establish a complete performance record, credential verification, or causal contribution to company outcomes. **Attribution:** Responsibility not applicable. Analyst inference based on disclosed qualifications, experience and role. **Relevance:** Role fit is assessed against role scope; company milestones are not treated as individual achievement absent direct evidence.
