He was also a Chesser NED through its 2023 Fortuna transaction. These are company-level exploration and transaction outcomes during his tenures, not proof that he alone caused them; neither company had delivered mine production from the cited assets at those transaction dates. **Attribution:** Role overlaps event; causation unproven. He held executive leadership at Oklo and a non-executive board role at Chesser during these company outcomes; the sources establish tenure overlap, not exclusive or direct individual causation. **Relevance:** Demonstrates resource definition and successful transaction experience relevant to public-company leadership; it does not establish operating-mine delivery.
