## Suitability for the current role

### Exploration manager has issuer-reported geological experience [sls_mark_background]

2017–2026 · analyst inference · medium materiality

Solstice’s 2022 prospectus lists geological and exploration roles including Strandline and says Alvin received a Rio Tinto exploration award. A 2017 Strandline release identifies him as its full-time exploration manager and a competent person for the disclosed exploration results. The award and qualifications remain issuer-reported; no independent credential verification was completed.

**Attribution:** Responsibility not applicable. The Strandline statement directly identifies his 2017 reporting role; issuer-reported award and wider career have not been independently verified.

**Relevance:** Relevant technical background for current copper-gold exploration.

## Evidence gaps

- September 2026 issuer presentation supports his title; the undated leadership page is not alone evidence of historical tenure. Exact tenure at former employers, award basis and current employment terms remain incomplete.

- 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.
