Feasibility study and project status

2026 · issuer reported · medium materiality

Attribution: Role overlaps event; causation unproven. Riggall was CEO; financing, study and project status are company-level and personal contribution is not independently isolated.

Relevance: Project delivery and funding remain relevant to the team’s development responsibilities.

FY2026 · issuer reported · medium materiality

Sunrise’s FY2026 annual report says Riggall is also a non-executive director of Clean TeQ Water and that a Sunrise subsidiary paid its subsidiary A$557,368 for engineering services during the year, which Sunrise described as arm’s length. The report discloses A$159,590 accrued payable at 30 June 2026.

Attribution: Individual involvement documented. The issuer identifies the directorship and transaction; the disclosure alone does not establish misconduct or independently verify the arm’s-length assertion.

Relevance: Disclosed concurrent role and related-party payments merit transparent review.

Environmental record

Cadia air-emissions offences and later resolution

2021–2025 · documented · medium materiality

The NSW EPA says Cadia Holdings pleaded guilty to three dust-emission offences between 2021 and May 2023 and was ordered to pay A$350,000 in fines plus A$61,500 to a monitoring network in 2025. Separate proceedings concerning two 2022 tailings dust incidents were discontinued in December 2025 after an enforceable undertaking. A company report identifies Newcombe as acting Cadia general manager on 31 October 2023, after the offence dates.

Attribution: Employer context; no individual link established. The exact dates of his role, and any overlap with the emission events, are not established. The regulator finding was against Cadia Holdings, not Newcombe, and no personal responsibility is inferred.

Relevance: Material environmental record of an operation associated with his past employer, with explicit limits on timing and attribution.

The board assessed his individual short-term incentive objectives at 42% of target; these included FEED, site readiness and a targeted 30 June 2026 investment decision. The report does not identify the score for each objective, so the reason for the outcome is not established.
