Contributions and company outcomes

Resource, drilling and financing progress at Astral

FY2026; latest reported July–September 2026 · issuer reported · medium materiality

Astral reported that FY2026 Mandilla resources reached 54 Mt at 1.1 g/t Au for 1.74 Moz, group resources reached 62 Mt for 2.07 Moz, approximately 84 km was drilled across its projects, and a $65 million equity raising was completed. The company remained in exploration/development; these company-level results do not establish this executive’s individual contribution.

Attribution: Role overlaps event; causation unproven. Geology Manager overlapped the reported company period, but no source identifies individual causation or gives this person sole credit for the resource, drilling or financing outcomes.

Relevance: Useful context for the company’s development progress; it is not evidence of gold production or an individually attributable success.

Business failures and setbacks

Mandilla DFS timing moved beyond the original target

October 2025 to July–September 2026 · issuer reported · low materiality

Astral’s 28 October 2025 appointment announcement targeted DFS completion by mid-2026, FID in the September 2026 quarter and first production by end-2027. The June 2026 quarterly report moved DFS completion to Q1 2027 and said FID was expected immediately thereafter; it noted heritage-clearance surveys had slowed and could delay final site layouts. This is a missed/revised company milestone, not evidence of an individual failure or a failed project.

Attribution: Role overlaps event; causation unproven. Geology Manager overlaps the current project period. The issuer identifies permitting/heritage work as a timing dependency; no source attributes the delay to this individual.

Relevance: Execution timing matters to a pre-production gold developer, but the evidence supports a project-level schedule change only.

Environmental record

Issuer-reported environmental status

At 25 September 2026 · issuer reported · low materiality

Astral’s FY2026 annual report says that, as at the report date, the Group was not aware of any significant breaches of applicable environmental requirements. This is an issuer statement about the company, not an independent regulator check or a finding about this person; the report also identifies environmental, heritage and native-title risks.

Attribution: Role overlaps event; causation unproven. Geology Manager was part of the current management roster, but the annual report does not attribute environmental compliance decisions to this individual.

Relevance: Environmental compliance is relevant to project development and approvals; the issuer statement does not establish a clean personal or company record.

Suitability for the current role

Senior geology and Competent Person responsibilities

Current role and 2026 technical disclosures · analyst inference · medium materiality

Astral-attributed material reports 36 years of experience across Australia, Vietnam and Indonesia, a Bachelor of Applied Science from Curtin, and the title General Manager of Geology. AAR’s interim report names Reid as the competent person who compiled and fairly represented Mandilla and Feysville exploration targets/results, confirms AusIMM membership and consent, and assigns resource estimates separately to independent consultant Michael Job. Analyst inference: the role and disclosed technical work fit a geology-management function; no discovery or resource-estimation credit is inferred. Astral’s September-quarter report names her as the Competent Person for exploration targets and results at Mandilla, Feysville and Spargoville.

Attribution: Responsibility not applicable. The issuer directly assigns exploration-results compilation/CP responsibilities; the role-fit conclusion is an inference and credentials remain issuer-attributed.

Relevance: Relevant to technical disclosure and exploration management; mineral-resource estimates are separately attributed.

Evidence gaps

• The title in issuer-attributed Equilar material differs from the roster title; the 14 October 2026 company presentation supports retaining “Geology Manager.”

• The accessible biography does not identify prior employers or exact tenure dates; the degree and career length are issuer-attributed and not independently verified.

• Search results included unrelated people named Julie Reid, including foreign court and employment records; they were excluded because the identity/employer/geography did not match Astral’s Perth-based geology manager.

• No exhaustive professional-register, employment-reference, litigation, regulator, criminal-record or sanctions search was completed.

• Earlier named-person and topic search records were inherited from the 10 October report and were not independently reconstructed. The 31 October search was broad; complete employer-by-employer and topic-by-topic verification remains incomplete.
