Director of Permitting

Introduction

Snowline Gold, listed on the TSX, is a values-based, growth-oriented gold development company focused on creating value through the discovery and development of gold deposits in the Yukon.

Why Join Snowline?

This is an excellent opportunity to join an entrepreneurial organization with strong financial capacity, technical experience and a streamlined approach compared to larger firms. In this role, your input will make a difference, working with all areas of the company to achieve a high bar in environmental management and permitting for Snowline’s flagship Valley gold deposit. Valley is a globally significant deposit with robust economics as demonstrated by the 2025 Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) published in June 2025. A Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) is currently underway, which will form the engineering basis for the Valley project to move through all stages of permitting approvals with the Yukon Environmental and Socio-economic Assessment Board (YESAB) and federal agencies. You will make a significant impact on this permitting process while ensuring high standards for environmental management at Snowline’s project sites.
