Rating locked: sign in to viewTeam rating and score are available to subscribers

The team combines reported geology, resource exploration and capital-market experience, but independent outcome verification and exact technical-team continuity remain limited. A shareholder has challenged retail placement access and meeting format; GBM’s board disputes the criticism. The site portfolio includes inherited rehabilitation obligations.

GovernanceDocumented · High materiality

Shareholder questions capital raising and meeting access

In the 14 October 2026 AGM notice, shareholder Stephen Mayne questioned the absence of share-purchase plans following the June and October 2025 placements and the physical-only meeting. The board defended its funding approach and recommended voting against his proposed board election. The vote was scheduled for 17 November and was not yet known at the cutoff.

Role overlaps event; causation unproven · Board-level disagreement; no finding of misconduct or individual causal responsibility.

Yandan legacy rehabilitation

GBM reported a 2021 Yandan environmental protection order completed in FY2022, before Krelle joined the board. In FY2026 it reported an increase in estimated rehabilitation costs. The legacy order is not a personal fault finding.

GBM’s February 2026 presentation named Themi Kailis corporate development manager; its July 2026 presentation named Edward Jelicich-Kane principal geologist. Neither is named on the undated leadership page viewed at cutoff. Their continuation or departure could not be established, so neither has been classified as a current or former executive.
