Simberi expansion and Touquoy restart advanced to FID during CEO tenure

FY26 reporting records a US$333m New Simberi expansion FID, early renewal of the mining lease to 2038, Lingbao investment proceeds of A$389m, and Touquoy restart permit approval and FID. Simberi oxide operations returned to profitability, with 48,395 oz produced and H2 production 39% above H1. These are reported company outcomes during Strelein’s CEO tenure; attribution of every milestone is not established.

Role overlaps event; causation unproven · Strelein has been CEO since July 2023 and held executive oversight during FY26. His issuer profile directly attributes his role in the earlier Bardoc acquisition and Leonora asset sale, but does not attribute these FY26 milestones individually.

Simberi expansion and Touquoy restart advanced to FID during CEO tenure

FY2026 · issuer reported · high materiality

FY26 reporting records a US$333m New Simberi expansion FID, early renewal of the mining lease to 2038, Lingbao investment proceeds of A$389m, and Touquoy restart permit approval and FID. Simberi oxide operations returned to profitability, with 48,395 oz produced and H2 production 39% above H1. These are reported company outcomes during Strelein’s CEO tenure; attribution of every milestone is not established.

Attribution: Role overlaps event; causation unproven. Strelein has been CEO since July 2023 and held executive oversight during FY26. His issuer profile directly attributes his role in the earlier Bardoc acquisition and Leonora asset sale, but does not attribute these FY26 milestones individually.

Relevance: Evidence of current project and operating delivery, balanced against later execution milestones and risks in both projects.

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.

Finance leadership during St Barbara’s recapitalisation and project funding

FY2026 · analyst inference · medium materiality

St Barbara’s FY26 report identifies Prendergast as CFO during FY26 and records a major financial transition: a A$58m placement, strategic investment proceeds, Simberi project funding and reported return to profitability at Simberi oxide operations. The reviewed material establishes time overlap with financial leadership, but does not identify her individual role in negotiating the investment or raising capital.

Attribution: Responsibility not applicable. CFO oversight during company-level financial results; no direct personal connection to specific capital transactions was found in the reviewed source.

Relevance: Relevant to current finance role; precise execution, forecast accuracy and controls evidence remains limited.

St Barbara litigation over Kirkalocka royalty rights; interlocutory leave granted

A Supreme Court of Western Australia decision dated 23 October 2025 records St Barbara’s application concerning a royalty claim against Kirkalocka Gold SPV, which was in a deed of company arrangement and receivership. The Court granted St Barbara leave to bring and continue the proceeding and approved an interim variation of the DOCA; the declaration over the asserted royalty right was left for a later hearing. Panckhurst’s affidavit supported the company application as in-house counsel, but this was corporate litigation and the judgment makes no adverse finding about her conduct. Latest reviewed FY26 St Barbara reporting does not state the final outcome of the royalty declaration.

Employer context; no individual link established · As General Counsel, Panckhurst participated in the company’s legal process; no personal wrongdoing is alleged or found.
