Personal achievements

Project delivery linked to Obuasi redevelopment and Tropicana

AGA tenure; Obuasi first gold December 2019 · issuer reported · medium materiality

Aris Mining says Mussett was integral in successful delivery of major capital projects including Obuasi and Tropicana. AngloGold Ashanti independently reports Obuasi Phase 1 completion, progress on schedule and within budget, and first gold on 18 December 2019. This does not establish his sole contribution.

Attribution: Individual involvement documented. Aris attributes integral project involvement; AGA verifies the project milestone but not his individual causal contribution.

Relevance: Relevant prior mine-project delivery evidence.

Industrial safety

External partner mine collapse during Aris tenure; all workers rescued

22-24 September 2025 · documented · medium materiality

A collapse at La Reliquia on 22 September 2025 trapped 23 people, including five Aris employees performing monthly reviews. Aris said the third-party mine was within its Segovia title but outside its infrastructure; it and the local workforce supported rescue. AP reported all 23 were rescued after about 43 hours. No personal responsibility by Mussett is established.

Attribution: Employer context; no individual link established. The incident occurred during his Aris tenure, but it was an external partner operation and no report links Mussett to the cause or safety responsibility.

Relevance: Employer-level safety context only.

Suitability for the current role

Mine-project delivery experience across Africa and Latin America

Through 2026-11-02 · analyst inference · medium materiality

Aris Mining's SEC-filed AIF describes John Mussett as SVP Projects from 26 September 2022, with 20+ years' project delivery and prior AngloGold roles. WIA's 2026 annual report describes his most recent portfolio as about US$2.6 billion; exact WIA start date is not disclosed.

Attribution: Responsibility not applicable. Role relevance is inferred from employer biographies; it does not prove sole responsibility for past outcomes.

Relevance: Highly relevant to WIA Project Director role; current WIA delivery remains pre-construction.
