Industrial safety

Company-reported FY26 safety outcomes and near miss

FY2026 · issuer reported · low materiality

During FY26 Chalice reported no fatalities or lost-time injuries and one high-potential bushfire incident at Gonneville. The incident was described as likely deliberately lit near the site; no personnel were present and minimal damage occurred. No source reviewed connects MacKinnon personally to it.

Attribution: Role overlaps event; causation unproven. MacKinnon was CFO and KMP during FY26, but the disclosure does not assign him operational responsibility or individual causation.

Relevance: Limited governance/safety context only; no personal adverse inference is supported.
