He holds company documents from his time with the company that record him as a significant founding shareholder. The documents are not published.
His position is that he remains entitled to that founder shareholding. He has not seen the company's current register of members. In 2023, and again in May 2026, Mr Pope wrote to the company, through solicitors, about his founder shareholding.

Summary

Mr Pope's position is that he holds a 50% interest in Success Gold Pty Ltd, which current ASIC records do not show, and a founder shareholding in Great Eastern Gold Ltd, and that he did not resign his directorships. Mr Pope has raised these matters with the company in writing, through solicitors, since 2023, most recently in May 2026. These matters are disputed and unresolved.

A second founding director's account is on the Founding Director Account page. The two accounts differ in some respects, including as to the ownership of Success Gold Pty Ltd.
