Contributions and company outcomes

Tenas passed an information gate into effects assessment

August 2026 · issuer reported · medium materiality

Bathurst reported in August 2026 that Tenas entered the effects-assessment phase. This is a permitting-process milestone, not an approval, construction start or production result. Sue rejoined Bathurst’s resource-development team in 2025; the milestone overlapped her current function, but no individual contribution is established.

Attribution: Role overlaps event; causation unproven. The role and project overlap are documented, but no personal contribution is attributed.

Relevance: Progressing development projects is central to the resource-development remit.

Business failures and setbacks

BPCP substantive application returned as incomplete

September 2026 · documented · medium materiality

In September 2026 EPA returned Bathurst’s BPCP application because the wildlife approval and reserve-manager consent components needed more work. Bathurst said it would resolve the matters and resubmit; the regulator confirms a new application may be lodged. Sue was the GM Resource Development at the time, but records do not establish personal authorship or fault.

Attribution: Role overlaps event; causation unproven. Role overlap only; no source identifies Sue as responsible for the specific missing approvals.

Relevance: The issue is relevant to development-project completeness and permitting execution.

Governance and interests

Competent-person work and Bathurst resource-development role disclosed together

FY2025 annual report · issuer reported · medium materiality

The FY2025 annual report states that Sue Bonham-Carter, a full-time employee of BCP Associates, supervised or prepared reserve information and was General Manager for Bathurst Resources Resource Development. Bathurst’s current profile also presents her as GM Resource Development. This is a disclosed professional-role overlap; no source reviewed finds a conflict or lack of technical independence, and the materials do not explain the operating arrangement.

Attribution: Individual involvement documented. The issuer directly disclosed both affiliations and roles; no misconduct or conflict finding is reported.

Relevance: Technical reserve sign-off and the responsible growth-project function are related to the quality and governance of project disclosure.

Suitability for the current role

General Manager, Resource Development is supported by relevant functional experience

Current role as at 10 October 2026 · analyst inference · medium materiality

A mining engineer with more than 35 years in mining engineering and management, senior open-pit roles in British Columbia, feasibility/due-diligence experience and professional registrations is well aligned to resource development. The FY2025 annual report identifies her as Acting GM; the current issuer page lists the unqualified GM title, with no exact change date disclosed.

Attribution: Responsibility not applicable. This is an analyst assessment of role fit, based on issuer-reported career facts; it is not an independent performance evaluation.

Relevance: Role fit is relevant to the executive team’s ability to run operating mines, manage growth or deliver company functions.

Evidence gaps

• Employer-by-employer career dates and the exact date the FY2025 “Acting” title changed are not disclosed; the current source labels her General Manager. Her employer relationship with BCP Associates and Bathurst is disclosed but not explained beyond the competent-person statement.

• The environmental and permitting outcomes are company/project matters; no individual responsibility for the 2017–2022 Canterbury events or 2026 BPCP application omissions was established.

• No exhaustive WorkSafe, court, criminal, sanctions or professional-disciplinary search was completed; the targeted public-source search is not a clearance.
