RE: ReportsAuC is correct. The standards for authorship of assessment reports in BC are much more loose than those for NI43-101-compliant technical reports. Here's an excerpt from the Ministry webpage regarding regs for assessment reports:
"
STATEMENT OF QUALIFICATIONS
The reports must be signed by the authorand include a statement of author’s and field supervisor’s qualifications:geologists, geophysicists, geochemists, prospectors, and geological, geophysical andmining engineers must state pertinent training and experience.
Assessment reports form part of thepermanent record, which must be written by qualified authors and meet prescribedstandards."
This is from the website

That notwithstanding, any geological work must be conducted or supervised by a BC-registered Professional Geoscientist as per Section 22 of the Engineers and Geoscientists Act as stated below:
