Geological Team

Northern Lights has a strong in-house geological team with many years of experience in exploration globally. NLR employs fundamental geological exploration and advanced geophysics techniques to explore and evaluate its projects. Critical time is spent completing background geological work including mapping, sampling, aeromagnetic/IP geophysics, ionic leaching soil geochemistry, spectral analysis and GIS geological modelling to get an understanding of the geological systems associated with each project prior to drilling. The team is led by Gary Artmont one of the foremost epithermal and porphyry exploration geologists globally. Northern Lights has in-house GIS expertise that allows us to utilize 3D modeling of all historic information together with new geological information to get clear picture of the structure and potential of each deposit.
