Governance and interests

Reward Minerals received an ASIC infringement notice during disclosed employment period

Alleged event 2–10 Dec 2013; notice release 27 May 2014 · documented · medium materiality

Reward’s contemporaneous release says ASIC alleged a continuous-disclosure contravention for 2–10 December 2013 and that Reward paid $33,000. The notice payment was expressly not an admission of guilt/liability. WA1’s annual report places Savich in a Reward corporate-development role, but reviewed records do not link him to the disclosure or notice. Employer-period event only.

Attribution: Employer context; no individual link established. No individual responsibility established; no reviewed source links Savich to the disclosure decision.

Relevance: Relevant bounded governance history; employment overlap is not personal misconduct.

Suitability for the current role

Role relevance and evidenced background

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

WA1’s FY2025 annual report records a BCom, Master of Applied Finance and Chartered Accountants program; earlier corporate and compliance work at Echo Resources overlapped acquisition of Bronzewing and merger with Metaliko. 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.
