Dahrouge Geological Consulting

What Dahrouge Geological Consulting does

Dahrouge Geological Consulting Ltd. is a private Canadian geological consulting firm founded in 1971 and headquartered in Edmonton, Alberta, with additional offices in Montreal, Denver, and Perth. The firm provides professional geoscience and project management services to mining and exploration companies across the full mineral lifecycle, including mineral exploration program design and execution, resource modeling and geostatistics, project evaluation and advisory, NI 43-101 compliant resource estimation, and health and safety program design. Its client base spans junior explorers, mid-tier miners, and mining-focused investors, with active engagements across gold, silver, copper, uranium, lithium, and rare earth projects in Canada, the United States, and Australia.

The firm is differentiated primarily by its talent base: 79+ P.Geo certified professionals, with senior team members individually credited on 95 to 150+ projects each, and a 50+ year operating history under continuous founder-family leadership (Jody Dahrouge as President, Simon Dahrouge as Technology & Innovation Director). The professional services portfolio is delivered as six integrated offerings — Resource Modelling & Geostatistics, Mineral Exploration, Project Management, Project Evaluation & Advisory, Technology & Innovation, and Health & Safety — rather than as discrete productized modules. Notable clients include NioCorp, Osisko Development, Apex Critical Metals, Lux Metals, Sun Summit Minerals, and Rio Grande Resources.

Revenue is generated through negotiated professional service engagements, with pricing not publicly disclosed and dependent on project scope, commodity, jurisdiction, and Qualified Person requirements. Marketing is driven primarily through LinkedIn thought leadership, industry conferences, and direct business development via referrals within the mining and exploration sector. The firm has no disclosed parent company, no external institutional investors, and operates as a privately held Canadian corporation.
