Contributions and company outcomes
Selected delivery record
Historic employer milestones and AUE progress to 30 Sep 2026 · issuer reported · medium materiality
A 2020 Tietto annual report says Yao led its in-country management and helped execute operations, while the April 2026 Aurum presentation lists him as Country Manager. Attributing later Boundiali resource growth to him individually is not supported by reviewed records.
Attribution: Role overlaps event; causation unproven. The country role implies oversight of local operations and stakeholders; specific personal contribution, role dates and outcomes remain unverified.
Relevance: Relevant to the executive’s current remit; employer and team results do not prove sole personal causation.

Suitability for the current role
Role fit and evidence limits
Current role and career to cutoff · analyst inference · medium materiality
Local-country management experience at Tietto and a current Aurum country-manager listing are relevant to Côte d’Ivoire execution; personal history, local stakeholder outcomes and the latest role status after April 2026 are thinly documented.
Attribution: Responsibility not applicable. This is an evidence-based role-fit judgment, not an outcome attribution.
Relevance: Experience fits the company's development/exploration stage and role as described; individual delivery in current role remains to be demonstrated.
