Cash covers the current exploration pace for approximately 5.5 quarters, but a future mine build is unfunded and June cash is a stale checkpoint.

Ownership and dilution
- Ordinary shares
- 2.1B
- Fully diluted
- 2.1B
July 27 filing shows 2,086,177,829 ordinary shares and 57.7m unquoted options/rights. Five million Arafura consulting shares are separately included as contingent dilution. The September 15 quotation filing is listed by the issuer but its contents were inaccessible; it may be the consulting shares, so they are counted only once. Fully diluted basis assumes one share for each unquoted or conditional security with no exercise proceeds.

Contracts and ownership
Material economic arrangements These are deals that can affect sales, costs, funding or ownership. An arrangement marked “Included in valuation” may already be built into a project estimate or the bridge to shareholder value. A separate amount is shown only when one can be estimated; do not add it again.
Annual report and later local quarterlies, transaction release, and issuer project pages reviewed. Original August sale/acquisition releases and September cap-table filing inaccessible.
Asara currently has 51%; funding the DFS is the condition for increasing to 75%.

Management background checks
Asara has a Guinea-focused exploration team with prior Kiniero/Siguiri project experience and named geology, finance and governance qualifications. The 2026 placement and Kada resource/drilling progress support continued exploration and DFS work, but do not constitute construction or production delivery. Sharples has a dated issuer-attributed role in restarting exploration; Keita’s prior drill/discovery work and credentials are more specific but remain mainly issuer/profile reported. Independent individual outcome, credential and Guinea safety/environmental evidence remains incomplete.

Personal SuccessIssuer Reported · High materiality
Kiniero resource growth and project sale experience
Asara says Sharples co-founded Sycamore Mining, expanded Kiniero Mine resources from 1.5 Moz to 3.5 Moz, and participated in its US$160m sale. The April 2026 presentation describes team advancement of Kiniero through DFS and sale; Micon records de Klerk’s geology role in the same project. Individual shares of resource growth, DFS and transaction work cannot be separated. In his current Asara tenure, the board says he helped restart and advance Kada exploration and expand Asara’s Guinea footprint; this is issuer-attributed leadership contribution, not a completed mine or production outcome.
Individual involvement documented · Issuer profile attributes co-founder role and Kiniero resource expansion/sale to Sharples, but does not quantify his personal contribution. Asara’s board separately credits his leadership with restarting/advancing exploration at Kada; no operating result is yet attributable.

Exploration-stage funding dependence; no producing mine
Asara’s 2025 report describes an exploration entity with no operating cash flow and dependence on external financing. Subsequent A$60m financing materially supports continued work. This is a stage/funding risk, not evidence of executive misconduct.

Aurelien Douyere
Chief Financial Officer
Role FitAnalyst Inference · Medium materiality
Professional background and role relevance
Asara’s 18 May 2026 appointment announcement identifies Douyere as a CPA with 15+ years in senior finance roles and names him as CFO of Sahara Natural Resources immediately before Asara. Asara’s profile describes finance transformation, business improvement, operations, control/system implementation and English/French fluency. The reviewed public material does not provide dated role chronology, specific audited outcomes, or independent confirmation of prior titles.
Responsibility not applicable · Sources provide selected background details, mostly issuer-reported; independent corroboration is incomplete.

Company Secretary
Role FitAnalyst Inference · Medium materiality
Professional background and role relevance
Asara’s current profile reports 18+ years administering listed companies, chiefly in resources, across ASX, AIM and SGX issuers, and concurrent company-secretary roles at Asara and Marvel Gold. The 2026 presentation confirms this governance remit. Public biographies reviewed do not disclose education, a full prior-company chronology, or the Asara appointment date; no claim is made about governance outcomes at former issuers without tenure-specific evidence.

Andre Bezuidenhout
Principal Geologist
Role FitAnalyst Inference · Medium materiality
Professional background and role relevance
Asara reports more than 15 years across geology, mining, exploration, consulting and project development, particularly in West Africa. Its April 2026 presentation assigns him the Principal Geologist role. Reviewed public material does not identify his employers, dates, degrees, professional registration or quantified prior project outcomes; these remain specific evidence gaps.

- Guinea safety/environmental and community evidence is mainly issuer-reported in sources reviewed.
- A 2014 South African High Court search hit named an Andre Bezuidenhout in a Department of Correctional Services accounting-store fraud case; the primary judgment could not be opened in this review, and no employer, occupation, birth detail or other identifier links that respondent to Asara’s geologist. Identity and final disposition were therefore not independently resolved, and no allegation is attributed to this executive.
Mandjou Keita
Geology Manager
Role FitAnalyst Inference · Medium materiality
Professional background and role relevance
CEGA’s profile identifies Keita as Asara’s Director of Geology and states that he earned a Guinean geological-engineering degree in 2003 and a Mines Paris MIRIS specialized master in open-pit and underground mining in 2024. An undated professional profile reports prior SEMAFO Kiniero/Kouroussa exploration and mine-geology work (2003–09) and SAG mineral-resource work beginning in 2009, including drilling, geochemistry, hydrology, ore/dilution control and geological database duties. The profile’s “2009–present” SAG line conflicts with later Asara biographies and is not treated as proof of continuous employment.
Responsibility not applicable · Degree and work history are reported by a local professional organization and a profile page; dates and individual discovery attribution are not independently corroborated.

Kada resource and exploration growth under current team
Asara’s April 2026 leadership presentation states that Keita was a principal in discovering the Maniantou deposit and growing the Saraya/Silakoro pit complex during prior SAG work, and that as Kiniero Exploration Manager he executed more than 150 km of drilling and discovered Sabali South and Mansounia. These are issuer-attributed project/team achievements; no independent source in this review isolates his share of deposit discovery or later project economics. Asara’s current Kada drilling/resource work remains exploration-stage, with no production delivered.

Souleymane Saadi
Country Manager
Role FitAnalyst Inference · Medium materiality
Professional background and role relevance
Asara describes Saadi as an established Guinean entrepreneur with local networks and complex-project experience but publishes no named prior employers, projects, education or dates. A 18 September 2026 report on the Chambre des Mines de Guinée identifies him as Asara Country Manager and reports that he represented Asara as it joined the sector association, including a public statement about industry coordination and local expectations. This corroborates his current country-facing role, not the broader “proven track record” claim.
Responsibility not applicable · Current title and association representation are independently reported; claimed prior complex-project delivery is issuer-reported without named projects or attributable outcomes.
