Personal achievements

FY26 Board-assessed KMP scorecard

FY2026, 1 July 2025–30 June 2026 · issuer reported · medium materiality

Aurelia’s audited FY26 remuneration report records a 75% business outcome and 130% individual outcome for Martin Cummings, producing a weighted STI outcome of 86% of target and an A$223,303 award (57% of maximum). The report’s common business scorecard gave no credit for TRIFR (7.54 against a <5.93 target), threshold credit for Peak controllable costs (A$339/t against A$309/t target) and Great Cobar schedule, stretch credit for gold production and the New Occidental maiden resource, and Board-adjusted base-metal assessment. The report does not disclose the individual criteria behind Cummings’s 130% score, so the Board rating is evidence of its assessment, not an independently verified personal delivery record.

Attribution: Individual involvement documented. The audited remuneration report directly assigns the published individual and weighted STI scores to Cummings; it does not disclose the underlying individual scorecard measures.

Relevance: Provides a documented Board assessment during his CFO tenure and shows that positive personal scoring coexisted with mixed company safety, cost and development metrics.

Suitability for the current role

Documented role scope and role fit

Current role at cutoff · analyst inference · low materiality

Martin Cummings joined Aurelia as CFO in December 2022, served as interim CEO from 25 July until Steve Badenhorst commenced 6 October 2026, and is recorded as a joint Company Secretary from November 2025. His finance title after the CEO transition is not established by the reviewed cutoff evidence. Before Aurelia he held senior finance, investor-relations, commercial, treasury and project-approvals roles at Evolution Mining, Newcrest and Lihir. Aurelia reports a Bachelor of Commerce (Accounting), Graduate Diploma of Corporate Governance and Risk Management, and CPA Australia membership. This supports relevant finance and governance experience; no causal claim about company outcomes is made.

Attribution: Responsibility not applicable. This is a limited role-scope inference from the issuer-documented position; it is not an outcome or personal-performance claim.

Relevance: The role is pertinent to oversight or execution of the company’s disclosed business; evidence on individual effectiveness is limited.

Evidence gaps

• The reviewed source set does not resolve Cummings’s finance remit after Badenhorst took office on 6 October 2026; company-secretary service is documented.

• Prior employer titles, tenure dates and performance outcomes remain incomplete where no dates were provided in the opened biographies; no personal causal attribution is inferred from company results.

• Credential and education claims are reported by issuer or secondary biography and were not independently checked with issuing institutions or professional bodies.

• Person-specific open-web searches are not exhaustive court, regulator, sanctions, safety, environmental or credential checks; a no-relevant-finding result is not a clearance.
