Frontier Geosciences Inc.

Frontier Geosciences Inc. is a Canadian geophysical consulting and survey company based in North Vancouver, British Columbia. Established in 1987 by Russell Hillman, P.Eng., and Cliff Candy, P.Geo., the firm was created to offer comprehensive geophysical consulting and survey services to the geotechnical engineering, groundwater, environmental, and mineral exploration communities. Over its history it has completed more than 1,400 projects in diverse climates and terrains around the world, positioning itself as a trusted global service provider in applied geophysics. The company's work spans the full range of terrestrial and marine geophysical techniques. On land, these include 2D and 3D seismic reflection, seismic refraction, electromagnetic induction and resistivity imaging, induced polarisation, seismic and EM tomography, ground penetrating radar, potential field methods, and borehole methods such as acoustic and optical televiewer. Marine investigations include bathymetric surveys, acoustic sub-bottom profiling, overwater refraction surveys, and side and sector scan sonar. This breadth allows Frontier to address applications such as mineralisation mapping, delineation of buried surfaces, rock mass classification, detection of buried metals, mapping of soil and rock types, groundwater detection and contaminant mapping, permafrost delineation, seepage conditions, void detection, physical property measurement, structural mapping, and ore body delineation. Frontier Geosciences serves a wide client base that includes mining companies, geotechnical and groundwater consultants, civil engineering firms, environmental companies, provincial and federal governments and agencies, consulting geologists, construction companies, public utilities, pipeline companies, drilling contractors, and oil companies. Its founders bring decades of applied geophysics experience: Mr. Hillman has over 43 years and Mr. Candy over 38 years in the application of geophysical methods to high-resolution mapping. The company presents itself as an innovator of surveying technology and imaging, developing new technological solutions to overcome field and interpretation obstacles. It remains a privately held Canadian firm operating on a worldwide basis.

Frontier Geosciences Inc. was established in 1987 in North Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, by Russell Hillman, P.Eng., and Cliff Candy, P.Geo. The company was founded to offer comprehensive geophysical consulting and survey services to the geotechnical engineering, groundwater, environmental, and mineral exploration communities. From its base in North Vancouver, it developed a broad base of experience with investigations involving the application of the full range of marine and terrestrial geophysical techniques. Over the decades since its founding, Frontier Geosciences has carried out more than 1,400 projects in diverse climates and terrains around the world. These investigations have employed methods drawn from the full range of terrestrial and marine geophysical techniques, including 2D and 3D seismic reflection, seismic refraction, acoustic profiling, electromagnetic induction and resistivity imaging, induced polarisation, seismic and EM tomography, ground penetrating radar, potential field and borehole methods, and acoustic and optical televiewer. Survey objectives have ranged from mineralisation mapping, delineation of buried surfaces, rock mass classification, detection of buried metals, mapping of soil and rock types, groundwater detection and contaminant mapping, permafrost delineation, seepage conditions, void detection, physical properties, structural mapping, and ore body delineation.
