Convolutions

What Convolutions does

Convolutions Geoscience Corporation is a privately held Canadian geoscience consultancy headquartered in Surrey, British Columbia, providing operational and computational consulting services to mineral exploration companies. Its core service offering spans four disciplines: Project Management, 3D Modelling, Geoscience Interpretation, and Exploration Survey Planning, with a particular emphasis on accurate drillhole targeting and 3D subsurface modeling to a depth of approximately 1 km under cover. The company's technical stack integrates geophysical methods, computational modeling, and integrated data interpretation, delivered through partnerships with technology providers including Xaclibur Multiphysics, Expert Geophysics, DIAS, Geotech, Mira Geoscience, Precision Geo Surveys, and AeroPhysX.

The firm's competitive positioning is built around a cluster of senior uranium geophysicists — including David Bingham (50+ years experience), Grant Lockhart, Robert Hearst (40+ years), Dennis Woods (Ph.D.), and Matt Batty — assembled by founder and President Kyle Patterson. This talent base underwrites a deep specialization in high-grade uranium exploration in Canada's Athabasca Basin, with named enterprise clients including Standard Uranium, Stallion Uranium, and F3 Uranium. The company also markets capability across copper, gold, and nickel critical-mineral exploration.

Commercially, Convolutions runs a sales-led, project-based professional services model, engaging directly with Presidents and VP Exploration-level buyers at mining and exploration companies through personalized consulting contracts. Revenue mechanics are quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Operating geographies are concentrated in Western Canada (British Columbia and Saskatchewan). The company is founder-controlled, with no disclosed institutional investors or funding rounds, and operates with 1-10 employees. A minor branded-merchandise e-commerce shop supplements the core consulting business.
