A high-profile governance upgrade can improve investor confidence, potentially tightening spreads and drawing attention from strategic partners or lenders. While not an immediate cash-flow catalyst, such changes historically correlate with positive re-rating when supported by clear operational plans and growth catalysts, as seen in other mining peers post-board refreshes.
