Bougainville Copper moves to fix overdue director interest disclosures after ASX query

Meet Samuel – Your Personal Investing Prophet

Bougainville Copper ( (AU:BOC) ) just unveiled an update.

Bougainville Copper has acknowledged a significant historical oversight in failing to lodge initial directors’ interest notices for multiple board members at the time of their appointments, an issue only identified recently while preparing disclosure documents linked to two directors’ resignations. The company has since moved to rectify the lapse by filing overdue notices, committing to lodge remaining director disclosures promptly, and apologising for the delay and non-compliance with ASX Listing Rule 3.19A.

In response to ASX queries, the miner has conceded that its arrangements under Listing Rule 3.19B were not effectively enforced, with an administrative breakdown in the final step of notifying the market despite directors providing the requisite information internally. Bougainville Copper is now strengthening governance by revising its director appointment and resignation protocols, explicitly mandating timely ASX lodgement of interest notices and clearly assigning responsibility for monitoring and compliance to prevent future breaches.
