Business failures and setbacks

Syama production below plan

2026 · issuer reported · high materiality

Resolute cut its 2026 Syama production outlook to 150,000–160,000 ounces in September after supply, mining and processing disruptions. Its September-quarter report recorded 31,777 ounces at Syama; full-year guidance remains an estimate.

Attribution: Role overlaps event; causation unproven. Eger was CEO; security, supply and operating conditions and the wider team affected the outcome, and personal fault is not established.

Relevance: Material operating execution context.

Nyrstar project delays and later restructuring

2017 delay; 2019 restructuring · documented · medium materiality

Nyrstar reported in 2017 that component rework delayed the Port Pirie redevelopment’s hot commissioning. Its later restructuring explanation cited accumulated investment, asset impairments and worsening markets.

Attribution: Role overlaps event; causation unproven. Eger was CFO during the 2017 delay and departed in 2018; the later restructuring happened after his announced exit. His personal responsibility is not established.

Relevance: Context for capital and funding oversight.

Governance and interests

Mali detention and settlement

November 2024–January 2025 company report · documented · medium materiality

Malian authorities detained then-CEO Terry Holohan and two employees on 8 November 2024 amid a dispute. Resolute says all three were released on 21 November and the US$160 million settlement was paid in full, with the final instalment on 31 December 2024. The company said the protocol settled outstanding government claims preceding 31 December 2023, while discussions continued over its implementation.

Attribution: Role overlaps event; causation unproven. Eger was CFO during the dispute. The available sources do not identify him as detained or establish individual misconduct; the settlement is a company outcome.

Relevance: Material political and governance exposure.

Evidence gaps

• Independent educational and professional credential checks were not obtained.

• The broad web search is not comprehensive; named-employer and person-specific fraud, safety, environmental, legal and governance checks remain incomplete.

• Issuer biographies do not establish all earlier role dates or individual contributions to company-wide outcomes.

• Nyrstar’s restructuring followed his announced 2018 exit; no individual cause has been established. Original Mali tax claims and assessment were not independently reviewed.
