Actively sourcing
A demand profile the Exchange is actively sourcing against. The sponsor is not confirmed on this board, and we say so rather than implying a signed mandate. Registering interest puts you in front of the sponsor when the brief converts.
The problem this seat exists to solve
Every member of the audit committee must be independent and financially literate under NI 52-110, and the group's assets sit in jurisdictions no current director has governed in.
The remit
- Serve on a fully independent audit committee under NI 52-110
- Oversee reserve and resource reporting and the associated controls
- Bring governance experience of the jurisdictions the group operates in
- Contribute to board renewal disclosure under NI 58-101
What the sponsor will not compromise on
- Financial literacy as defined in NI 52-110, and preferably a professional accounting qualification
- Mining, metals or extractive-industry governance experience
- Familiarity with operating jurisdictions outside North America
- Independence under the NI 52-110 tests
Terms
- Engagement
- Annual election at the AGM; 6–9 board meetings a year plus site visits.
- Compensation
- CAD 130,000 – 180,000 in total compensation, including deferred share units.
- Cross-border
- The company is incorporated in British Columbia, which has no director residency requirement — so the CBCA 25% resident-Canadian rule does not apply to this board.
- Time commitment in this market
- Typically 6–9 board meetings a year plus committee cycles; resource issuers add site visits and a heavier technical-report load.
Before you apply — Canada
No nationality test applies to you. Whether residency matters depends entirely on where the company is incorporated — federal CBCA companies have a 25% resident-Canadian rule, Ontario and BC companies do not.
- Residency test
- 25% of directors of a CBCA corporation must be resident Canadians. Ontario abolished its equivalent requirement in 2021 and British Columbia has none.
- Nationality test
- None.
- Work authorisation
- A non-resident director attending board meetings does not require a work permit; board attendance falls within permitted business-visitor activity. Executive and interim operating roles require authorisation.
- Tenure limit once appointed
- No cap. NI 58-101 requires disclosure of whether the board has adopted term limits or other renewal mechanisms, and to explain why not if it has not.

Registering against a single brief is fine. Registering once against your whole profile means you are read against every mandate that opens in the markets you can actually be appointed in — statutory, interim and advisory.
