- Since 2024-09-10: Rox Resources Limited — Managing Director & CEO. Board & Management (Management/director profile; current role)
Contributions and company outcomes
Youanmi moved from explorer to funded mine development during his CEO tenure
FY2025–FY2026 · issuer reported · high materiality
Rox reported completion of the Youanmi DFS in November 2025, underground mining beginning in November 2025, project construction permits received, FID in March 2026, and funding comprising A$200m institutional placement, A$18m share purchase plan and A$350m project debt facilities (subject to conditions precedent). The February 2025 appointment release says that since CEO commencement in October 2024 Wilding oversaw a A$27m raise, completed 11,000m growth drilling, began a 35,000m drilling campaign and met project milestones. These are issuer-reported outcomes; the annual report says gold production remained a FY27 objective.
Attribution: Role overlaps event; causation unproven. As CEO, he held executive oversight during the reported funding, permitting, FID and first development milestones; the sources do not isolate his personal causal contribution beyond the company’s express appointment-release attribution.
Relevance: Demonstrated transition and capital formation are relevant to project delivery, while first production and operational performance remain unproven at cutoff.

Suitability for the current role
Role fit supported; individual record remains incomplete
Evidence cutoff 2026-10-09 · analyst inference · low materiality
Dated primary company filings and appointment records now support the disclosed role and relevant parts of the person’s professional background. They do not establish a complete career chronology, independently verify every credential, or provide a broad personal performance or adverse-record conclusion.
Attribution: Responsibility not applicable. This is a scoped role-fit assessment, not an attribution of a company outcome.
Relevance: Role alignment matters to execution in the current position, but the reviewed evidence does not establish full delivery or control outcomes.
