## Suitability for the current role

### Public evidence of fit for Managing Director [stk_paul_lherpiniere_role_fit]

Current role and prior career as stated by issuer · analyst inference · low materiality

The issuer biography reports: 20+ years and 20+ countries in exploration and project generation; former Head of Exploration at Fortescue; founding partner at Ibaera Capital; involved with Rogozna since 2019. Role-fit inference: this experience is relevant to the current Managing Director responsibilities, but issuer biographies are self-reported and do not independently establish personal delivery outcomes.

**Attribution:** Responsibility not applicable. This is an analyst role-fit judgment based on the cited role and issuer-reported experience; it does not assign personal responsibility for company outcomes.

**Relevance:** Relevant to the current Managing Director role, with evidence quality constrained by the source scope.

## Evidence gaps

- A successor search was ongoing at cutoff; the 2 September 2026 notice expected Paul L’Herpiniere to step down by year-end, so this roster status is transitional.

- Open-web searches do not constitute an exhaustive criminal, sanctions, litigation, regulator, safety or credential check; sources outside the documented search scope may exist.
