Suitability for the current role

Public evidence of fit for Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer

Oklo tenure 2015–2022; Chesser board service 2007–2023 · analyst inference · medium materiality

Issuer filings show Simon Taylor served as Oklo MD from 2015 through the 2022 B2Gold acquisition; in his tenure Oklo reported a March 2021 JORC Mineral Resource of 11.34 Mt at 1.83 g/t for 668.5 koz at Dandoko, then shareholders approved the B2Gold scheme in 2022. He was also a Chesser NED through its 2023 Fortuna transaction. These are company-level exploration and transaction outcomes during his tenures, not proof that he alone caused them; neither company had delivered mine production from the cited assets at those transaction dates.

Attribution: Role overlaps event; causation unproven. He held executive leadership at Oklo and a non-executive board role at Chesser during these company outcomes; the sources establish tenure overlap, not exclusive or direct individual causation.

Relevance: Demonstrates resource definition and successful transaction experience relevant to public-company leadership; it does not establish operating-mine delivery.
