Andrew Boyd’s career record documents Manager Geoscience roles at Mantra (2010–11) and Papillon (from 2012), and a later technical/GM Exploration role at Oklo. A 2014 Papillon scheme booklet reported that, at Mantra, he guided exploration and initial drilling through delineation of the >100 million pound Mkuju River uranium resource and developed geoscience inputs to pre-feasibility/feasibility studies; this was an employer-reported contribution. Papillon and Oklo were subsequently acquired by B2Gold. His qualification as a geophysicist and AIG membership are reported, but no university or degree is identified in the reviewed material.
Attribution: Role overlaps event; causation unproven. Papillon’s issuer filing explicitly credits Boyd with guiding exploration and initial drilling at Mkuju River; the broader acquisition outcomes are employer-level and not individually attributed.
Relevance: Prior resource-development and study work is relevant to an exploration-stage tin project; work on uranium/gold does not demonstrate tin project delivery.
