Andrew Czerw

Chief Development Officer

Career chronology

Personal achievements

Commissioned technical resource study

2012 · documented · medium materiality

An NT geological archive records that Czerw, then Tanami geology manager, commissioned a technical report on Groundrush mineralisation.

Attribution: Individual involvement documented. The report explicitly names him as requesting the study; it does not demonstrate a discovery made by him.

Relevance: Evidence of direct technical work.

Business failures and setbacks

Eastern Goldfields entered administration

FY2018–2019 · documented · high materiality

Eastern Goldfields reported a A$85.9 million FY2018 net loss and appointment of administrators on 29 November 2018. Creditors approved a deed in February 2019. The company later became Ora Banda.

Attribution: Role overlaps event; causation unproven. The issuer identified Czerw in a resource-development role in 2015 and reported his group tenure from April 2014; the specific duties he held at the November 2018 administration are not independently dated. No personal role in the financing failure is established.

Relevance: Shows prior company distress in a business linked to the present asset.

Suitability for the current role

Relevant experience and evidence limits

Career experience stated in issuer sources through 2026 · analyst inference · low materiality

The issuer and 2012 Tanami report document geology and project-development responsibilities, relevant to the mine development portfolio.

Attribution: Responsibility not applicable. This is an analytical assessment based on reported roles, not proof of individual outcomes.

Relevance: Relevance of background to current responsibilities.

Evidence gaps

  • Independent verification of credentials, professional memberships, complete employment dates and individual contributions is incomplete.

  • Person-specific past-employer, court, regulator, fraud, safety, environmental and governance searches remain partial; this screening is not a clearance.

  • His individual role, if any, in Eastern Goldfields’ 2018 financial distress is not established.

  • The saved search log records one combined broad query per person; separate dedicated searches across every due-diligence topic and prior employer were not completed.

  • His precise title and duties on the November 2018 administration date have not been independently established.
