Hi-View Resources Inc. has appointed Shannon Broughm as a technical advisor, adding specialized geological expertise to support the company's exploration activities in British Columbia's Toodoggone region. Broughm, a senior consultant with APEX Geoscience Ltd., brings nine years of experience in mineral exploration with particular focus on porphyry-epithermal systems, which are critical for discovering gold, silver, and copper deposits.
The appointment matters because Broughm has worked extensively in the Toodoggone region since 2018, developing what Hi-View CEO R. Nick Horsley described as "exceptional geological and geochemical expertise" specific to that area. Her practical knowledge of the region's geology, structural controls, and effective exploration techniques could accelerate discovery at Hi-View's portfolio of projects covering more than 27,791 hectares. For investors and the mining industry, this strategic hire signals Hi-View's commitment to advancing its high-priority targets through specialized technical leadership.
Broughm holds both bachelor's and master's degrees in geology, with her graduate research on magnetite-apatite mineralization published in the international journal Mineralium Deposita. She has been a registered Professional Geologist with the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of Alberta since 2022. Her background includes five summers working with government geological surveys in Newfoundland and Labrador and Nova Scotia, providing her with diverse experience in mineral exploration methodologies.
The impact of this appointment extends beyond Hi-View's immediate operations. As junior mining companies compete for investment in a challenging market, technical expertise becomes increasingly valuable for de-risking exploration programs. Broughm's specific experience with high sulphidation and porphyry systems in northeastern British Columbia directly aligns with Hi-View's exploration targets, potentially improving the efficiency of exploration spending and increasing the probability of discovery. Her appointment comes as Hi-View advances its flagship Golden Stranger Project, along with the Lawyers claims and Borealis Project, all designated as high-priority targets.
For stakeholders monitoring the Toodoggone region's development, Broughm's hiring represents a strategic move that could influence exploration outcomes across multiple properties. The region has attracted attention for its mineral potential, and specialized technical knowledge like Broughm's can provide competitive advantages in identifying and developing economic deposits. Investors can review the company's filings on SEDAR+ for additional information about Hi-View's projects and corporate developments.
