Business failures and setbacks
Dubbo remained in study/pre-construction work during his technical and interim operations tenure
2020–FY2026 · issuer reported · medium materiality
ASM’s FY2026 Annual Report describes the Dubbo pathway through a Heap Leach Option assessment and ongoing pre-feasibility work; the signed 2024–25 annual review identifies pre-construction status. Dicinoski joined ASM in 2020 as Technical Manager and was appointed interim VP Operations Australia in November 2025. The sources do not establish his personal responsibility for delays or funding decisions.
Attribution: Role overlaps event; causation unproven. Technical/operations roles overlapped with project studies, but decision-making authority or individual causation is not established.
Relevance: Material to execution track record for a senior Australian operations role.

Environmental record
Dubbo annual review reports scoped consent and mining-lease compliance
1 July 2024–30 June 2025; portal scope since March 2020 · issuer reported · low materiality
ASM’s signed 2024–25 annual review reports compliance and no non-compliances for its stated project reporting period; the NSW planning portal displays no project enforcement since March 2020. Dicinoski held technical/operations roles during portions of this period, but the evidence does not identify him as the signatory or assign personal environmental responsibility.
Attribution: Role overlaps event; causation unproven. Site-level compliance is company reporting; the signatory and regulator record do not establish Dicinoski’s personal conduct.
Relevance: Relevant to an Australian operations role; evidence is scoped and not independent of the issuer except the portal.

Suitability for the current role
Technical and operational project experience aligns with Australian project oversight
2020 to cutoff, per issuer; VP role from Nov 2025 · analyst inference · medium materiality
ASM reports over 30 years delivering mining, mineral-processing and critical-material projects and an ASM progression from Technical Manager in 2020 to GM Technical and VP Australian Operations. The 2025 release assigns the interim VP Australia role the Dubbo Project and Toongi Pastoral Company. Detailed project-specific outcomes and credentials were not independently checked.
Attribution: Responsibility not applicable. The issuer establishes titles and general experience; it does not provide independent project attribution.
Relevance: Relevant to oversight of Dubbo development and operational readiness.

-
The company has not published his detailed previous-employer chronology or project-by-project outcomes.
-
His 2020 ASM start is stated by the issuer without a precise day; the VP interim date is tied to the November 2025 management restructure.
