The two current Canyon/Camalco executives have distinct, role-relevant backgrounds supported by dated issuer documents: Kudzai Mtsambiwa’s CFO/Company Secretary appointment, degrees and prior Coda/Perseus finance roles are documented, and Rana Singh is identified as Camalco CEO at the 2024 Minim Martap permit-signing milestones. Canyon was still pre-revenue and reporting project development in FY2025; neither executive is assigned sole responsibility for company outcomes. Person-specific web checks are limited and do not imply clearance.

Kudzai Mtsambiwa

Chief Financial Officer; Company Secretary

Career chronology

Contributions and company outcomes

CFO tenure overlapped Canyon’s development financing and resource-stage transition

FY2025 and appointment effective 15 January 2025 · issuer reported · medium materiality

Canyon’s 2025 annual report reports that Mtsambiwa joined as CFO/Company Secretary in January 2025 and identifies his role in supporting financing, rail/port access and offtake workstreams. The same annual report reports a FY2025 net loss of A$20.18m and states the company had no significant revenue stream at that stage. These are company context and defined role remit; they do not establish personal responsibility for the loss or prove financing workstreams were completed.

Attribution: Role overlaps event; causation unproven. CFO appointment overlaps the development-stage finance work and year-end loss; no direct causal responsibility is established.

Relevance: Provides a realistic baseline for role fit and execution: financing remit was central, while at FY2025 cutoff Canyon remained pre-revenue and project development continued.

Suitability for the current role

CFO experience and accounting qualifications are documented

Career through 2026-10-09 · analyst inference · medium materiality

Canyon’s 16 January 2025 appointment notice states that Mtsambiwa is a Chartered Accountant with over a decade of experience, was Coda Minerals CFO from September 2021 to January 2025, and held Group Financial Controller and Group Planning and Business Analyst roles at Perseus Mining. It records an MSc in Minerals and Energy Economics from Curtin and a BCom from UWA. Canyon’s FY2025 annual report describes his relevant finance work during Perseus expansion, though his personal contribution to company outcomes is not separately measured.

Attribution: Responsibility not applicable. The career, qualification and appointment details are issuer-reported and not independently verified with the universities or professional body.

Relevance: Financial control, planning, CFO and company-secretary experience is relevant to the current CFO role and Canyon’s development-stage financing needs.

Rana Pratap Singh

Chief Executive Officer, Camalco

Career chronology

Contributions and company outcomes

Camalco reached Mining Convention and Mining Licence signing milestones under his CEO tenure

July–September 2024 · documented · medium materiality

Canyon’s FY2025 annual report states that the Mining Convention for Minim Martap was signed in late July 2024 and the Mining Licence in September 2024. It identifies Singh as Camalco CEO and shows him attending both signing ceremonies. This supports direct documented participation in the ceremonies, not sole responsibility for securing the permits. The project was in development; no production or first shipment was established by these sources.

Attribution: Individual involvement documented. The report documents his presence and role as Camalco CEO at public signing ceremonies; negotiation, permitting and project outcomes were company and government processes, and sole causation is not shown.

Relevance: A material project development milestone relevant to the country CEO remit; further logistics, funding and construction work remained at the time.

Suitability for the current role

Camalco leadership and mining-sector experience are documented, with limited independent chronology

Career through 2026-10-09 · analyst inference · medium materiality

Canyon identifies Singh as CEO of Camalco and reports 30 years of experience developing minerals and metals business strategies; the company profile lists prior leadership positions at ArcelorMittal, Adani Natural Resources, Nouvelle Gabon Mining and JSW India, plus mining engineering and management qualifications. Canyon’s 2025 annual report independently confirms Singh as Camalco CEO at July and September 2024 Mining Convention and Mining Licence ceremonies. Exact prior job dates, degree awarding records and personal operating outcomes were not established.

Attribution: Responsibility not applicable. Career and qualifications are company-reported; the annual report confirms role identity at public project milestones but does not independently verify biography details.

Relevance: Mining-sector and multi-jurisdiction leadership are relevant to Camalco’s Cameroon project; personal delivery outcomes and control responsibilities need stronger independent corroboration.
