[Board and Management]() (Senior Management listing; Allan Nixon) - **Two years immediately before joining BMC (profile); dates not specified: The Borealis Group** — Principal / strategic advisory consultant. [Yukon Chamber of Mines — Who We Are]() (Professional association biography says he led The Borealis Group prior to joining BMC in 2019.) - **Last eight years of a long Yukon Government career; exact dates not specified: Yukon Government, Department of Highways and Public Works** — Assistant Deputy Minister, Transportation Division. [Yukon Chamber of Mines — Who We Are]() (Chamber biography says eight years as ADM overseeing infrastructure delivery and regulatory matters.) ## Education and qualifications ### External-affairs leader with Yukon government and Indigenous-relations experience [bmc_allan_education] BMC role from 2019; profile accessed 2026-10-09 · issuer reported · low materiality The Yukon Chamber of Mines biography reports Nixon joined BMC in 2019, previously led a Yukon strategic-advisory firm, and served as Assistant Deputy Minister of Transportation for the Yukon Government during the last eight years of a longer public-service career.

[Yukon Chamber of Mines — Who We Are]() (Allan Nixon biography, lines 31-40) ## Litigation and enforcement ### KZK consultation case required a further process, with a positive decision issued in 2026 [bmc_allan_kzk_legal] 2022 to 2026-11-02 · documented · medium materiality The Yukon Supreme Court and Court of Appeal required additional consultation following a limited Crown duty-to-consult failure and later directed further consultation on economic viability. The courts’ findings concerned government decision bodies, not Nixon or BMC misconduct. Nixon’s role as BMC external-affairs lead dates to 2019 and therefore overlaps the project process; the current issuer page reports a positive decision in April 2026 after consultation, while key licences remain pending. This is a material stakeholder and permitting outcome relevant to his remit, but personal fault is not established. In a separate procedural step, BMC applied in March 2025 for court-set consultation and decision deadlines; the Court of Appeal dismissed the application without prejudice to seeking reopening before the panel. In April 2026, the government issued a positive new Decision Document after further consultation. BMC’s September 2026 annual report subsequently disclosed receipt of a Type B Water Licence and a five-year Class 3 Quartz Mining Land Use Approval after year-end. BMC’s 2 November 2026 updated feasibility study now forecasts after-tax NPV5 of US$1.696 billion, 54% IRR and 1.4-year payback from processing, but those are issuer forecasts and no construction decision or funding is in place. The 25-year Type B Water Licence and five-year Class 3 land-use approval were received in July; the Type A Water Licence, Quartz Mining Licence, Fisheries authorization and ancillary permits remain, financing and FID are pending, and the issuer targets late 2027 FID subject to permits and further technical studies. **Attribution:** Role overlaps event; causation unproven. His employer-facing role overlapped the project’s Indigenous consultation and external-relations process; court findings do not attribute responsibility to him. **Relevance:** Directly relevant to external affairs; approval progress is partial and remaining licenses and stakeholder engagement remain material.

The reviewed public disclosure provides insufficient independently verified chronology or delivered outcomes to assess the person beyond that stated responsibility. **Attribution:** Responsibility not applicable. This is a limited analyst inference about role relevance, not a claim of personal contribution or responsibility. **Relevance:** Vice President, External Affairs supports the company’s operations and governance.
