WESTGOLD RESOURCES LIMITED

Shareholders of Westgold Resources Limited

Zavia’s on-file registry data for this Australian company record does not list individual shareholders; it notes only that Australian shareholder information is filed with ASIC and that an absence of shareholders shown may reflect a pending filing rather than the absence of shareholders altogether. Westgold Resources Limited is a publicly listed company on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX: WGX) and Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX: WGX), so its full share register is held by its share registry and is not published; only holders whose interest meets the statutory substantial-holder disclosure threshold (5% of voting shares under the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth)) are required to be publicly disclosed, via ASX substantial-holder notices.

Based on externally reported substantial-holder notices and institutional-ownership analysis reviewed in this session, disclosed substantial shareholders have included L1 Capital Pty Limited (reported at approximately 9.4%), Van Eck Associates Corporation (approximately 8.0%), State Street Global Advisors, Inc. and related State Street Corporation entities (voting power reported at approximately 5.66%-6.0% across different notices), JPMorgan Chase & Co. and its affiliates (approximately 5.77%, per a substantial-holder notice reviewed) and Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group together with its subsidiary First Sentier Investors (a combined relevant interest of 35,135,873 ordinary shares; an equivalent percentage was not stated in the source reviewed). A separate ownership analysis reports that institutional investors hold approximately 66% of the company in aggregate, with the twelve largest holders together accounting for roughly 50%, with no single holder reported as exercising control. These figures come from secondary reporting of ASX filings rather than the original ASX Form 604/605 notices, and exact as-of dates vary by holder and were not uniformly available in the sources reviewed.

Ultimate beneficial ownership

No natural-person ultimate beneficial owner is identified in the sources reviewed. Westgold Resources Limited’s share register is reported to be dominated by diversified institutional and index-fund holders, none of which was identified as exceeding a controlling stake, so no UBO calculation can be made.

Data availability

Availability is Major shareholders only: as a dual-listed public company, only holdings at or above the statutory substantial-holder threshold are publicly disclosed, and Zavia’s on-file registry data does not itself list individual shareholders. The percentages above are drawn from secondary reporting of ASX substantial-holder notices and general ownership analyses rather than the primary ASX filings, and should be verified directly against the ASX substantial-holder notices lodged for Westgold Resources Limited (ASX: WGX) before being relied upon.

Directors and officers of Westgold Resources Limited

Zavia’s structured officer data associates five active individuals with this company record (of thirteen total officer-related records held in the underlying dataset): Melissa Wren (recorded job title: GM of People), Jacob Mesiha (Acting Chief Operating Officer), Susan Patricia Park (Company Secretary, recorded twice with slightly different professional-credential strings) and Andrew Mcdougall (Chief Technical Officer). All are recorded with a work status of Active and a correspondence address country of Australia; no appointment or resignation date is recorded for any of them in the underlying dataset, and nationality is not disclosed for any individual, nor has it been inferred from name, residence or correspondence address.

External sources reviewed in this session, including the company’s official 2025 annual report, identify Cheryl Edwardes AO as Independent Non-Executive Chair of the Board and Wayne Bramwell as Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, a role he has held since May 2022; neither role is represented in Zavia’s on-file officer records. A secondary corporate-governance data source also reports Hau Heng Su as Chief Financial Officer (since July 2021) and Susan Park as Corporate Secretary (since April 2022), consistent with the on-file record, and Aaron Rankine as Chief Operating Officer since 19 January 2025 – a title that on-file data instead associates with Jacob Mesiha in an “Acting” capacity. The same secondary source names Leigh Devlin in a technology-related executive role, which could not be reconciled with the Chief Technical Officer title recorded on file for Andrew Mcdougall; this discrepancy was not resolved from the sources reviewed.

Recent officer changes

Aaron Rankine is reported to have been appointed Chief Operating Officer effective 19 January 2025, succeeding what on-file data records as an “Acting Chief Operating Officer” appointment held by Jacob Mesiha, according to a secondary corporate-governance data source reviewed in this session. This change has not been independently verified against an ASX appointment announcement or the company’s official website in this session.

Data availability

Availability is Partial: five of thirteen officer-related records held in Zavia’s underlying dataset are shown, none carries an appointment or resignation date, and the Board Chair and Managing Director/CEO roles, both independently confirmed via the company’s official annual report, are not represented in the on-file officer records at all. Nationality and country of residence are not disclosed for any individual in the sources reviewed. Australian company officer information is generally available via ASIC extracts, but a full, current extract was not obtained in this session.

Group structure of Westgold Resources Limited

Westgold Resources Limited is recorded in Zavia’s on-file corporate-linkage data as the top-level entity in a structure with several subsidiary entities beneath it, last synced 11 August 2026. This is broadly consistent with the company’s public status as an ASX/TSX-listed group that owns and operates its mining assets through controlled operating vehicles, though specific ownership percentages for the entities below were not disclosed in the sources reviewed.

The most significant verified corporate development is Westgold Resources Limited’s merger with Toronto-listed Karora Resources Inc., announced via a definitive arrangement agreement on 7 April 2024 and completed on 1 August 2024, according to official merger-completion announcements. Following completion, Karora Resources Inc. is reported to have become part of the combined Westgold group; Zavia’s on-file data lists Karora Resources Inc. (Canada, registration CA 6672663) as a subsidiary entity, together with two further Canadian entities, True North Nickel Inc. and VMS Ventures Inc., positioned beneath Karora Resources Inc. in the same on-file data. These two entities were not independently verified against an official filing in this session and are presented as a possible relationship (unverified) pending confirmation via a Canadian corporate registry or an ASX/TSX filing.

Verified corporate relationships

Recent structural changes

Westgold Resources Limited completed its merger with Karora Resources Inc. on 1 August 2024, following a definitive arrangement agreement announced on 7 April 2024, creating a dual-listed (ASX/TSX) mid-tier gold producer operating exclusively in Western Australia, according to official merger-completion announcements.

Data availability

Availability is Partial: Zavia’s on-file data identifies a set of subsidiary entities, and the Karora Resources Inc. relationship is independently verified via official merger-completion announcements, but ownership percentages are not disclosed for any entity in the structure, and the remaining Australian and Canadian entities listed on file were not independently verified against ASIC, a Canadian corporate registry or an ASX/TSX filing in this session.
