Job description

Blackrock Silver (BRC.V) is a Vancouver based TSXV/OTCQX listed silver developer advancing its flagship Tonopah West project in Tonopah, Nevada.

Reporting directly to the CFO, the Corporate Controller will own the full accounting and financial reporting function in a high‑visibility, hands‑on role. Supported by a small, shared team, you will drive timely, accurate financials for our Blackrock Silver Corp., while building scalable processes as we transition into development. This is a newly created position ideal for a mining‑experienced CPA who thrives in a fast‑paced junior resource environment with outsourced elements of transactional work.

Key Responsibilitie s

• Lead preparation of public company filings, including IFRS consolidated financial statements, MD&A, Annual Information Form (AIF), and Management Information Circular.
• Own month‑end, quarter‑end, and year‑end close processes, full‑cycle accounting (GL, AP/AR, payroll oversight, bank/cash management), and project‑based expenditure tracking (exploration costs capitalization under IFRS 6 and development accounting).
• Manage financial consolidations, variance analysis, budgeting, forecasting, and cash‑flow oversight to support executive decision‑making and investor communications.
• Act as primary liaison with external auditors; prepare audit schedules, working papers, and ensure year‑round audit readiness.
• Strengthen and maintain internal controls in alignment with IFRS, National Instrument 52‑109 (certification), and Canadian Securities Administrators requirements.
• Develop and document accounting policies, procedures, and process improvements to enhance efficiency, scalability, and close‑cycle timelines.
• Support treasury functions, tax filings/compliance, and regulatory/statutory reporting (GST, etc.).
• Provide financial insights to senior leadership on project economics, burn rate, and capital allocation.
• Build, mentor, and lead the finance team as the company grows; promote accountability and continuous improvement.
• Collaborate across departments and with international partners on finance activities.

Qualifications & Experience

• CPA designation (or equivalent) is required.
• 5–10+ years of progressive experience in a senior finance role, with direct experience in a publicly traded mining or resource exploration company strongly preferred (junior mining/exploration environment ideal; exposure to income‑producing assets is a plus).
• Proven hands‑on expertise in IFRS, public company financial reporting, MD&A/AIF preparation, internal controls (NI 52‑109), and working with external auditors.
• Strong technical skills in project accounting, exploration & development cost tracking, consolidations, and ERP/accounting systems (advanced Excel proficiency essential; experience with common junior mining platforms an asset).
• Demonstrated ability to manage competing deadlines, work extra hours when needed (e.g., filing periods), and operate effectively in a lean, deadline‑driven environment.
• Excellent communication, interpersonal, and problem‑solving skills; self‑starter with high attention to detail, integrity, and a solutions‑oriented mindset.
• Experience building or scaling finance processes and teams in a growth‑stage resource company is highly valued.
• Eligible to work in Canada.
