## Environmental record

### Greenfinch permit process [richard_green]

2018–2020 · issuer reported · medium materiality

Ramelius reported that its original Greenfinch clearing permit was refused and its appeal dismissed; a reduced application was granted later in 2019 subject to conditions. The later 2025 transaction booklet reports final environmental approval in January 2020 and subsequent clearing and mining.

**Attribution:** Role overlaps event; causation unproven. Jones had joined Ramelius in 2018; his involvement in the application or appeal is not established.

**Relevance:** Relevant company-level environmental approval and governance context.

## Suitability for the current role

### Legal and risk governance [richard_role]

Before and during Ramelius · analyst inference · medium materiality

Ramelius describes Jones as a corporate commercial lawyer with previous company secretary experience across listed and unlisted mining companies. His legal and risk remit appears relevant to approvals and governance.

**Attribution:** Responsibility not applicable. This is a role-fit assessment; independent credential and prior-tenure records were not established.

**Relevance:** Provides a limited basis for assessing governance role fit.
