Technical career, role transition and current board interests

Prior career through 31 December 2024 · issuer reported · medium materiality

Titan’s 2024 annual report describes Leighton as a geologist with more than 20 years in resources and prior geological/senior-management roles at Hot Chili, Harmony Gold, Hill 50 Gold and Northwest Resources. It identifies her as founding director of Leighton Geoservices and as a non-executive director of Great Boulder Resources and Industrial Minerals. The report states she became Titan CEO on 11 January 2023. A reviewed 2025 competent-person statement identifies her as a member of the Australian Institute of Geoscientists. The 2024 report does not state a specific degree; no credential should be inferred from her title.

Attribution: Individual involvement documented. The annual report provides employer-reported career and appointment details; specific outcomes at prior employers are not attributed to her individually in this record.

Relevance: Geology and investor/stakeholder experience fit a technical CEO role; current outside board roles are relevant concurrent commitments.

Suitability for the current role

Role fit and evidence limits

Assessment at cutoff 2026-10-09 · analyst inference · medium materiality

Geological, finance and corporate-secretarial backgrounds fit a pre-development gold/copper explorer; the reviewed evidence is too sparse for a broad team delivery judgment.

Attribution: Responsibility not applicable. This is an analytical inference from the cited career profile and the company’s stated stage; it does not claim personal causation of company outcomes.

Relevance: Connects prior experience to the role’s execution and oversight needs.

Evidence gaps

  • Exact dates for prior roles and independent confirmation of profile claims were unavailable in the reviewed materials.

  • The reviewed issuer biography does not identify a degree or institution; no independent academic credential record was located. The 2024 annual report supports two outside non-executive board roles, but an exhaustive current directorship register was not completed.
