Geology appointment chronology differs

2021-2022 · documented · low materiality

The FY2026 annual report describes appointment as chief geological officer after a 2022 merger; the 2025 scheme booklet places the Saracen merger in 2021 and says he was appointed following it. The exact appointment date is not settled by these citations.

Attribution: Responsibility not applicable. The discrepancy is in issuer chronology and does not imply wrongdoing.

Relevance: Keeps the role date transparent.
