RE: Steve was BHP’s proxy27 Nov 2025 11:23
Steve is BHP’s long-standing strategic mining voice.
He joined SolGold’s board:
• after BHP lost the 2022 control battle,
• to maintain visibility and influence,
• to monitor SolGold’s strategic process.
His presence on the board has been:
• a classic “stakeholder-monitoring” position
• ensuring that no transaction happened without BHP having line-of-sight
• signaling that BHP was still in the game
His resignation today means:
👉 BHP no longer needs a board seat to monitor SolGold
👉 because a transaction is now entering the final stage.
