Resolution has a team with mining-finance, U.S. exploration and metallurgical experience, but Horse Heaven remains pre-resource and non-producing. October 2026 issuer materials identify additional technical leaders and a strategic adviser. Short cash runway, related-party disclosure and the adviser’s disclosed former-employer governance history require attention; individual responsibility is not inferred from company outcomes. This is a partial, low-confidence public-source screening.

GovernanceIssuer Reported · Medium materiality

Related-party consulting fees disclosed for executive services

The Form 20-F describes consulting fees to Consult4nts for Zaetz services of A$491,992 in FY2026, A$350,000 in FY2025 and A$204,167 in FY2024. The FY2026 remuneration table includes A$142,000 in retroactive salary increases, so the A$491,992 should not be treated as proven cash paid during that year. Zaetz is a director of the service entity. The company says its related-party transactions were at arm’s length; this screening did not independently verify the terms.

Funding runway and related-party disclosure differ within the quarterly report

At 30 September 2026 Resolution reported A$1.637m cash and A$8.723m quarterly operating and exploration outflows, yielding 0.2 quarters on its Appendix 5B basis. The October release announced a subsequent loan facility of up to A$10m with 12% interest and six-month maturities. The narrative describes A$0.59m of item 6.1 director fees, while Appendix 5B item 6.1 reports A$559,000; item 6.2 reports A$1.298m in related-party investing payments. The discrepancy is unresolved.

FY2026 Horse Heaven acquisition, discovery and financing milestones

FY2026 · documented · medium materiality

Resolution Minerals’ FY2026 annual report describes acquisition of 100% of Horse Heaven, Phase 1 and Phase 2 drilling, significant gold discoveries at Golden Gate North and South, and institutional placements announced at A$25.1m in September 2025 and A$20m in April 2026; its October quarterly says A$10.8m of the April placement remained in a second tranche. It also records acquisition of the Johnson Creek processing site and tungsten stockpiles. These are company-reported exploration, financing and asset milestones; individual technical or financing contributions by Aharon Zaetz are not separately quantified in the report. The February 2026 issuer drilling release quotes Zaetz describing gold intercepts in all 14 shallow RC holes and a tungsten intercept; the release characterises this as an early discovery and proposed resource-definition work, not a resource estimate or production.

Attribution: Role overlaps event; causation unproven. The report documents company activity during the executives’ company roles but does not tie the milestones to this individual’s actions.

Relevance: Relevant to the track record of a development-stage company; exploration results and prospective processing remain unproven commercial outcomes.

Lake reported unapproved closed-period trades

Lake reported that Promnitz traded shares on 20–22 April 2022 during a closed period without the required advance written clearance and had not notified the company secretary. Lake described this as inadvertent non-compliance, said permission was sought after the trades, and described steps to update governance processes. This is Lake’s account; no independent regulatory finding or personal response about the incident was located.

Individual involvement documented · Lake identifies the individual and the trading-policy issue, while characterising the failure as inadvertent. No insider-trading or other statutory breach is inferred.

Disputed Lake receivable settled

Lake’s 2022 accounts disclosed A$1,077,773 in advances and expense payments linked to Promnitz and said some transactions were disputed. Its 2023 annual report described offsets, a write-down and a final A$200,000 settlement amount; its 2024 annual report said the dispute was resolved to all parties’ satisfaction and the final amount was received. These are issuer disclosures, not a finding of wrongdoing.

Indochine financing difficulty and later creditor case

Indochine disclosed financing discussions and Promnitz’s CEO resignation on 30 July 2014. The company entered administration in March 2015 after a later funding withdrawal. As a creditor, Promnitz challenged a creditors’ resolution and deed; in August 2015 the Federal Court dismissed his proceeding and ordered costs. The administration occurred after his departure and the judgment does not establish personal misconduct.

Employer context; no individual link established · His CEO role had ended before the administration; his later role was as plaintiff and creditor, not a defendant found responsible.
