Independent Director — Audit Committee
Canada·Mining & Metals··Posted 22 July 2026
TSX-listed mining group, incorporated in British Columbia
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.

Canada·Mining & Metals
Mining and resources organisation in Canada
The director will strengthen the audit committee's ability to examine how mining production information becomes inventory, cost, revenue and financial estimates. The role requires expertise at the interface between operations and reporting without assuming responsibility for technical production decisions.
Interim Chief Financial Officer — Renewal
Canada·Mining & Metals
Large-cap listed mining and metals organisation
Structural margin, seen clearly, is what the Board of Directors of a large-cap listed mining and metals group wants over the next 24 months. An Interim Chief Financial Officer, reporting directly to that board, will provide it.
Independent Director and Audit Committee Chair — Exploration Funding

Mining and resources organisation in Canada
Candidates should have deep financial reporting expertise, audit oversight experience and familiarity with Canadian public-issuer governance. Exploration or development-stage resource experience is important. Formal committee qualifications and independence must be assessed for the actual appointment rather than inferred from a professional designation alone.
