Expanded public-source research establishes more dated professional chronology and several issuer-attributed financing, project and governance responsibilities. Individual diligence remains incomplete where credentials, tenure dates, attributable delivered outcomes and employer/project-level adverse records could not be independently corroborated.

Education and qualifications

Education and technical background

2011 · issuer reported · medium materiality

The 2023 annual report identifies Todd Williams as an exploration geologist and records a Bachelor of Science from the University of Adelaide, graduated 2011. This is issuer-reported and was not independently verified against the university.

Attribution: Individual involvement documented. The issuer annual report states the degree and year; no direct university record was located.

Relevance: Relevant geoscience training for exploration leadership.

Contributions and company outcomes

South American greenfields project development

2015–appointment as MD (exact date not established by this source) · issuer reported · medium materiality

The issuer reports that from 2015 until his appointment as MD, Williams founded and led Circum Pacific, managing development of greenfields projects in Colombia and Argentina, including Unico/E2’s Santa Cruz and Rio Negro projects. This documents an attributed management role and projects, but the source does not evidence discovery, commissioning, production, or shareholder returns; these remain exploration-stage project work.

Attribution: Individual involvement documented. The issuer explicitly links Williams to managing the greenfields project development; it does not quantify personal contribution or delivered economic outcome.

Relevance: Relevant exploration portfolio and Latin America experience; avoid treating project assembly as a delivered mine outcome.

Role relevance and evidenced background

Background reviewed through 2026-10-09 · analyst inference · low materiality

The issuer describes an exploration geologist with a BSc (Honours) from the University of Adelaide and a decade focused on South American silver, gold and copper projects. Current title in the selected roster: Managing Director. This supports role relevance at a high level; the public evidence reviewed does not establish personal causal responsibility for employer or project outcomes.

Attribution: Responsibility not applicable. Role-fit judgment based on the selected roster and issuer-reported professional background; no causal claim is made.

Relevance: Relevant to the current Managing Director responsibilities, subject to the evidence limitations recorded below.

Accounting qualification and finance experience

De Grey’s appointment announcement calls Canterbury a Certified Practising Accountant and reports close to 20 years in mining, with prior leadership at Triton Minerals, Bauxite Resources and Sundance Resources. The reviewed source does not state awarding institutions or graduation dates; credential status was not independently checked.

Attribution: Individual involvement documented. De Grey’s dated appointment release reports the CPA designation and predecessor roles.

Relevance: Relevant to the company’s financing, development and board duties.

Contributions and company outcomes

De Grey financing and Hemi study progression

February 2021–May 2025 · issuer reported · high materiality

Unico’s 29 July 2025 appointment release attributes Canterbury a key role in raising about A$1.2bn equity and securing A$1.13bn bank credit-approved project finance while De Grey advanced Hemi through pre-feasibility and definitive feasibility. Northern Star completed its acquisition of De Grey in May 2025. These were significant financing and study milestones, but Hemi was not yet in production at the acquisition; the attribution is issuer-reported and no individual deal record or independent financing confirmation was reviewed.

Attribution: Individual involvement documented. The appointing issuer explicitly attributes financing and study contributions; responsibility is not independently audited here.

Relevance: Directly relevant capital raising and development experience for USL’s transition stage.

The issuer reports more than 30 years in mining finance and development, including De Grey CFO work, more than A$1.2bn of equity raises and project finance for Hemi, and work through feasibility before the 2025 Northern Star acquisition. Current title in the selected roster: Executive Director. This supports role relevance at a high level; the public evidence reviewed does not establish personal causal responsibility for employer or project outcomes.

Attribution: Responsibility not applicable. Role-fit judgment based on the selected roster and issuer-reported professional background; no causal claim is made.

Evidence gaps · 4
  • Degree-granting institutions and dates were not established.
  • Barrick project-by-project results and Holmes’s precise individual accountabilities were not independently checked; large portfolio oversight does not imply responsibility for each outcome.
  • Hemi did not reach production during the sourced tenure before acquisition; completed construction, commissioning and operating performance therefore remain untested.
  • Targeted searches did not identify an individual adverse proceeding in the reviewed public results; this does not establish an exhaustive safety, legal or regulator history.

Mining engineering and professional qualifications

As reported 2023–2026 · issuer reported · medium materiality

The 2026 appointment release reports postgraduate mining-engineering qualifications, Queensland First Class Mine Manager status, and prior tertiary qualifications in mining engineering and mineral technology. It names prior memberships in CIM, PMI and AACE in the 2023 De Grey appointment source; independent credential-body confirmation was not obtained.

Attribution: Individual involvement documented. Issuer releases describe qualifications and professional memberships; primary institution or membership records were not reviewed.

Relevance: Relevant to technical committee and project execution oversight.

Hemi project leadership and large-capital project portfolio

Barrick period (dates unknown); Hemi tenure from February 2023 to January 2026 · issuer reported · high materiality

De Grey appointed Holmes Project Director for Hemi in February 2023, describing prior Barrick senior director responsibility over roughly US$9bn of construction projects, including Pueblo Viejo handover. Unico’s 2026 release says he was responsible for end-to-end Hemi delivery. De Grey later sold to Northern Star before Hemi entered production; the sources establish project leadership and study/construction-readiness remit, not a completed Hemi mine build or Holmes’s personal causal contribution to Barrick project outcomes.

Attribution: Individual involvement documented. Dated issuer releases name his project responsibilities; no independent project completion evidence attributable to him was reviewed.

Relevance: Highly relevant development/project execution experience; Hemi remains pre-production at transaction close.
