For TSX-V, TSX, ASX & AIM mining boards · $200/month

Built for the governance demands of mining and resource boards

Bought deals price overnight. Drilling results arrive on the QP's timeline. Material disclosure decisions can't wait for the next quarterly meeting. Boardwise is the board portal designed for how mining boards actually operate — modern enough that directors open it on their phones at site, rigorous enough to support a CSA continuous-disclosure review.

Flat $200/month for the entire organization. Passkey-verified written consents. Downloadable audit package on every resolution.

Built by people who have sat in the boardroom

Boardwise's founders include a mining-industry insider who has lived the reality of a junior board: directors flying to PDAC, drilling results landing the morning of a financing, a corporate secretary holding the line on disclosure timing while the CFO needs a signed consent in twenty minutes. The page below speaks to those situations specifically.

Three governance challenges unique to mining boards

Issues that do not show up in a generic board-portal demo, because the vendor has never been on a mining board.

1. Between-meeting decisions are the norm

Bought-deal financings are priced overnight. Drilling assays arrive on the QP's timeline. An M&A letter of intent needs a signed board resolution within hours. Under the Canada Business Corporations Act (CBCA) s.117 — and provincial equivalents — the board may act by unanimous written resolution — and for mining boards, written consents are routine, not exceptional.

A board portal that treats written consents as an afterthought slows the company down at exactly the moments it cannot be slow.

2. Continuous-disclosure exposure is unrelenting

Every drill result is potentially material under National Policy 51-201. The disclosure policy itself must be approved by the board. Interim and annual financials must be reviewed by the board or audit committee before filing. Material news travels — and selective disclosure ("tipping") is an enforcement priority.

Boards need a system that ensures every director receives the same material at the same time, without it touching a personal inbox.

3. NI 43-101 puts the board on the filing decision

The Qualified Person is on the technical content. But the board approves the filing decision, the related news release, the related financing, and is on the hook for ensuring the company has the disclosure procedures NI 43-101 demands. CSA Staff Notices 43-309 and 43-311 document common deficiencies — and have triggered both refilings and corrected investor presentations.

The audit trail behind that filing decision needs to be defensible years later. "We approved it by email" is not.

How Boardwise addresses each

Specific product behaviour, not abstract claims.

Passkey-verified written consents in minutes

A director signs a consent in Boardwise with Face ID, Touch ID, or a hardware key. The resulting document includes a SHA-256 integrity digest. The downloadable audit package shows who signed, with what credential, at what time, against what document.

For a 6-director board on a 7 a.m. ET bought-deal trade announcement, the consent process takes minutes — not the half-day of "reply-all" email signature collection it replaces.

Material information stays out of personal email

Boardwise Messaging keeps disclosure-sensitive board discussions in a dedicated, encrypted channel — completely isolated from directors' personal inboxes. Notifications go out; the content stays in the platform.

For directors who serve on multiple mining boards (the norm on TSX-V), there is no risk of cross-board email confusion and no exposure of material non-public information in a personal inbox that could be subpoenaed.

Defensible audit trail on every filing decision

Every NI 43-101 filing decision, every news-release approval, every audit-committee review of interim financials produces an immutable record in Boardwise: who saw the document, who signed off, when, and against what version. The audit log is append-only by design.

If the CSA reviews your continuous disclosure two years later, the evidence trail is one click, not a forensic reconstruction from email and SharePoint.

Designed for directors who are at site or in transit

Native iOS and Android apps. A rebuilt PDF viewer with highlights, typed notes, and freehand drawing — the way directors actually mark up a 200-page technical report on an iPad. One passkey login across every board a director serves on, with notes and annotations following them between boards.

A director on Starlink in Yukon, at PDAC in Toronto, or on a flight to São Paulo gets the same experience.

What mining boards specifically use Boardwise for

The workflows that come up in mining and resource governance that generic board software does not anticipate.

Bought-deal and private-placement resolutions

Written consents for term-sheet approval, subscription-agreement execution, and TSXV Form 5 filings — signed by all directors with a passkey, audit package generated automatically.

NI 43-101 filing decisions

A clean record of which directors reviewed the technical report, which questions were raised, and when the filing decision was made — for QP-certified reports under Form 43-101F1 or the modernized form rolling out under the CSA's 2025–2026 rewrite.

Disclosure-policy and audit-committee charter version control

Your NP 51-201-aligned disclosure policy and MI 52-110-required audit committee charter — version-controlled, board-approved, and produced on demand for an auditor or CSA review.

HSE and TSM/ICMM oversight evidence

Documented board review of TSM Tailings Management Protocol assessments, ICMM Mining Principles attestations, safety incident reports, and Indigenous-relations updates — the board-level evidence sustainability assurance auditors expect to see.

Form 58-101F2 disclosure inputs

When the AIF or information circular comes due, the inputs are already in Boardwise: independent-director attestations, orientation records, board-mandate version, committee charters, attendance records. No scramble.

Multi-board single sign-on for cross-pollinated directors

TSX-V directors typically sit on three or four mining boards. Boardwise consolidates every board identity into a single passkey-secured account — directors switch boards in one click. When one mining board adopts Boardwise, directors carry it to the next.

When a deal hits, document volume goes exponential

A normal-course mining board reviews a few hundred pages a quarter. The moment a transaction lands — a friendly bid, a hostile takeover, a plan of arrangement, a strategic JV — that number jumps by an order of magnitude, on a deadline none of the directors can move. This is where the document tools earn their keep.

What actually lands in front of the board

  • Takeover-bid circular or directors' circular — typically 200–400 pages; under Canadian National Instrument 62-104 the target board has only 15 days to respond with its own directors' circular.
  • Fairness opinion + supporting valuation memo — 50–200 pages, often with appendices on comparables and discount-rate sensitivities that directors are expected to interrogate.
  • NI 43-101 technical reports on the target's properties — 200–500 pages each, multiple properties, frequently revised during diligence.
  • Data-room access — hundreds of gigabytes of geological data, drill logs, environmental assessments, Indigenous-relations documentation, permits and reclamation security, financial statements, contracts.
  • Plan-of-arrangement court materials and interim orders — every revision tracked, with each director needing to confirm review before the next hearing.
  • Special-committee work product — when independent directors are isolated from the proposed transaction, they need a separate document repository with its own access controls.
  • Counsel and advisor memos — legal, financial, tax, and HSE advisors all generating updates on overlapping timelines for the same window.

Annotate a 400-page circular on the plane

The rebuilt PDF viewer handles large documents with highlights, typed notes, and freehand drawing — directly on the document. A director on a red-eye to Toronto can mark up the takeover-bid circular and the fairness opinion side-by-side before landing.

My Notes follows you across every document

Annotations made on the target's technical report are one click away when reviewing the fairness opinion's resource assumptions. Every highlight and note across every deal document, indexed and searchable.

Compare V12 of the circular to V13

Plan-of-arrangement and circular drafts go through dozens of versions before filing. Document comparison shows what changed between the version the board last approved and the version that's about to be filed — synced scrolling, no rebuilt-from-Word redlines required.

Special-committee isolation, built in

Setup Mode lets you build the special-committee environment privately, with its own membership and permissions, before anyone is invited. Independent directors get a dedicated workspace where the proposed-transaction directors cannot see what is being discussed.

Material non-public stays out of personal email

During a deal, every document is material non-public information. Boardwise Messaging keeps deal discussions in a dedicated encrypted channel — the very inboxes most likely to be subpoenaed if the deal closes are the ones never to be seen.

Defensible record of board deliberation

Whether the lens is Revlon duties on a sale, BCE-style proper-purpose review, or a fiduciary challenge by dissenting shareholders, the audit log answers the question "did the directors actually engage with the materials." Read receipts, time-stamped annotations, written-consent audit packages — produced on demand.

Canadian takeover-bid procedure under NI 62-104; Revlon, Inc. v. MacAndrews & Forbes Holdings, Inc. (Del. 1986); BCE Inc. v. 1976 Debentureholders, 2008 SCC 69. Sources below.

A representative week on a junior mining board

Composite based on real TSX-V junior workflows.

  • Monday 06:00 ET — Assays land. CEO drafts a news release. Corporate secretary publishes the draft to Boardwise; all 6 directors receive a notification.
  • Monday 07:30 ET — Audit committee chair (in São Paulo, on hotel Wi-Fi) reads the release on her phone, flags one number for QP verification, posts the question in the in-platform discussion thread.
  • Monday 09:00 ET — QP confirms. Corporate secretary issues a written consent for the news release. All 6 directors sign with their passkey from wherever they are. Audit package generated; release goes out at 09:15.
  • Wednesday 16:00 ET — Bought deal opens. Term-sheet PDF posted to Boardwise. Directors review and sign the financing resolution by 23:00. Trade announcement before market open Thursday.
  • Friday — TSM Tailings Management Protocol annual assessment posted to the board folder. Board members review over the weekend; HSE committee discusses at next quarterly meeting; the read-receipt log is the evidence the audit team asks for.
