Contributions and company outcomes

Exploration and study milestones reached

FY2026 to August 2026 · issuer reported · high materiality

The FY2026 annual report describes more than 500 Tallebung drill holes, metallurgical progress and a resource update in July 2026. SKY released a prefeasibility study in August 2026. An EIS and subsequent approvals remain necessary; study economics are estimates, not demonstrated production.

Attribution: Role overlaps event; causation unproven. Davies led SKY during this period; the issuer credits leadership but does not quantify his individual causal contribution.

Relevance: Project execution and transition to a potential mine matter to his role.

Evidence gaps

• Independent education, professional memberships and complete dates of Evolution and Alkane roles are unverified.

• Person-specific adverse searches were limited to the two combined queries logged; no separate comprehensive regulator, litigation, safety, environment, fraud or governance searches were completed.

• Current environmental manager was announced in 2026 but identity and continuing role were not established from opened materials.

• The 30 October September-quarter filing was not opened; later reported activity and cash data are not verified here.

• Retrospective search-log audit relied on the contemporaneous research checkpoint; the original tool-call transcript was unavailable to this audit, so exact query execution could not be independently reverified.
