Education and qualifications

Finance professional with extensive resources-sector experience

Reported career background accessed 2026-10-09 · issuer reported · low materiality

Ballard’s company and annual-report disclosures describe more than 25 years in resources finance/accounting and identify Tim Manners as a finance professional. A prior issuer annual report (Delta Lithium, search-result review only) lists Bachelor of Business (Accounting), FCA, AGIA and MAICD, but was inaccessible on direct open and is not relied on here as a verified credential. This public review therefore does not independently verify his qualifications or memberships.

Attribution: Responsibility not applicable. Career qualification details beyond the Ballard profile were not independently verified against institutions or professional registers.

Relevance: Relevant to current finance-director duties.

Ballard raised A$61 million while Manners was Finance Director

2026-01-23 · documented · medium materiality

Ballard announced a A$61.0 million placement on 23 January 2026. The release specifies cash plus placement proceeds totalling A$89.8 million, proposed uses and names Manners as Finance Director alongside the Managing Director. This establishes a completed financing during his tenure, not an individual causal contribution or a delivered mine-development outcome.

Relevance: Capital access and funds management are directly relevant to the current role.
