What Condor Consulting does

Condor Consulting, Inc. is a privately held geophysical consulting firm founded in 1999 and headquartered in Lakewood, Colorado, with a wholly-owned Canadian subsidiary, Condor North Consulting ULC, in Vancouver, BC. The firm provides specialized processing, modeling, and analysis of geophysical data for mining and mineral exploration clients worldwide, with particular emphasis on inversion techniques across a broad range of airborne EM systems (VTEM, ZTEM, MegaTEM, SkyTEM, DIGHEM/Resolve, and others) plus airborne gravity, ground geophysics, and borehole EM. Its service portfolio includes EM and aeromagnetic processing, airborne gravity interpretation, ground and borehole surveys, 2D and 3D inversion and model building, and the proprietary GeoInterp methodology that integrates geophysical, geological, and geochemical data into coherent subsurface models.

The firm is led by President Ken Witherly (50 years of exploration experience) and Vice President/founding partner Michel Godbout (40+ years), supported by a staff of roughly 10 people that collectively holds three PhDs and two MSc degrees in geophysics and geology, plus long-term external consultants Daniel Sattel (EM Solutions LLC) and Robby Charnock (RDC Consulting LLC). Customer acquisition is driven by professional reputation, conference participation (PDAC, Round Up), and downloadable technical content, serving mid-cap exploration and mining clients on a project basis.

Condor monetizes primarily through professional services engagements on a quote-based, project-by-project basis, with a secondary revenue stream from reselling Datamine Software's geophysical modeling products in North America. The firm does not disclose pricing or revenue, has no external funding, and operates as a closely held partnership with global client reach across every continent except Antarctica.

Direct peers

• Sander Geophysics: Airborne geophysical survey contractor offering high-resolution magnetic, gamma-ray spectrometric, and gravity surveys globally. Highly comparable to Condor's airborne EM and aeromagnetic processing work, and a former employer of Condor's Principal Geophysicist Francis Moul.
• SJ Geophysics: Canadian ground geophysical contractor specializing in IP, EM, magnetics and gravity surveys for mineral exploration. Directly comparable to Condor's Ground Geophysical and Borehole EM offering, and a former employer of Condor's Blake Cross.
• Quantec Geoscience: Provider of deep-penetrating Titan-24 DCIP/MT ground geophysical surveys for mineral exploration. Directly comparable to Condor's ground EM/IP and borehole services, and a former employer of Condor's Julie Milne.
• Resource Potentials: Australia-based geophysical consulting firm focused on mineral exploration, offering processing, modeling, and interpretation services similar to Condor's full-service offering across airborne, ground, and 3D inversion work.
• Fathom Geophysics: Specialist geophysical consulting and software firm providing advanced 2D/3D inversion, interpretation, and targeting services for mineral exploration. Closely comparable to Condor's inversion-led, model-building focus and small-firm operating model.
• Mira Geoscience: Geological-modelling and geophysical consulting firm serving mineral exploration, with multi-disciplinary 3D modelling and interpretation services closely aligned with Condor's GeoInterp and integrated geoscience offerings.

Broad incumbents

• Fugro Airborne Surveys: World Geoscience / Fugro Airborne Surveys was a leading global airborne geophysical acquisition and interpretation firm, comparable in EM software development and data interpretation to Condor's airborne EM processing practice. Now part of broader Fugro, making it a larger incumbent with overlapping specialist capabilities.
• CGG: Large global geoscience company providing multi-client seismic and geophysical data, imaging, and interpretation services. While predominantly O&G-weighted, it overlaps with Condor's inversion and modeling capabilities and represents a much larger incumbent in the same service category.
• Seequent (formerly Geosoft): Established geoscience software and services platform (formerly Geosoft) supporting 3D modelling, geophysical interpretation, and earth sciences workflows. Represents a larger, broader incumbent whose software ecosystem overlaps with Condor's inversion and modeling services and competes in similar geoscience workflows.

Emerging players

• New-Sense Geophysics: Specialist consulting firm offering ground and borehole EM surveys, borehole EM modeling, and inversion services for mineral exploration. Closely comparable boutique competitor with overlapping technical focus on EM inversion and 3D modeling for exploration targeting.
