## Suitability for the current role

### Issuer-reported secretarial and transaction experience [sls_james_credentials]

2023–2026 · analyst inference · medium materiality

Solstice reports Doyle holds B.Com and a graduate diploma in applied finance and describes public-company governance and transaction experience. Sun Silver’s 2025 annual report also identifies him as company secretary. Black Rock Mining disclosed his resignation and a replacement in December 2025; an undated Sun Silver web profile still lists him at Black Rock, so the dated filing is preferred. Credentials were not independently confirmed.

**Attribution:** Responsibility not applicable. Role and experience are issuer-reported; no particular transaction outcome is attributed to him.

**Relevance:** Relevant background to listed-company secretarial work.

## Evidence gaps

- The exact start and end dates of other secretarial roles and their workloads were not fully researched; a current web profile conflicts with the 2025 Black Rock departure filing.

- Individual topic-by-topic searches, original regulator and court records, and complete prior-employer records were not fully researched; negative findings or clearance are not established.

- Independent educational and membership verification was not completed.
