# John Prineas Executive Chairman ## Career chronology - **Since 2009-10-19: St George Mining Limited** — Executive Chairman. [Directors]() (Management/director profile; current role) ## Contributions and company outcomes ### Araxá resource enlarged and environmental permitting began [sgq_john_prineas_resource_delivery] FY2026 to 2026-08-25 · issuer reported · high materiality St George’s FY26 Annual Report records 18,000m drilling during the year and a 3 March 2026 resource increase to 70.91Mt at 4.06% TREO and 0.62% Nb2O5; a further post-year-end August estimate rose to 111.2Mt. On 25 August 2026, the company lodged an EIA/RIMA to begin its Preliminary Licence application. This is exploration/resource and permitting progress, not a mine approval, reserve or production result. The issuer describes Prineas as founder and Executive Chairman and reports the milestones at company level; personal causality is not isolated. **Attribution:** Role overlaps event; causation unproven. Founder/executive chairman oversight overlapped the reported work; annual report does not allocate drilling, study or permitting outcomes to him individually. **Relevance:** Strong exploration-stage delivery evidence, but the project still lacks a reserve, development approval and operating record.
