Key Personnel

Warren Hughes Chief Geophysicist

A seasoned geophysicist with over 29 years of experience in mining and exploration geophysics, specializing in base- and precious-metal exploration. Graduated with a B.Sc. in Geophysics from Memorial University in 1997. Began career with Eastern Geophysics, followed by a long and accomplished tenure at Glencore, where he held various technical and leadership roles across Raglan, Timmins, and Sudbury until his retirement in 2022. Since then, he has continued to contribute to the industry as a geophysical consultant. Demonstrated success in exploration projects worldwide, with expertise in the design and implementation of diverse geophysical techniques in complex geological settings. Possesses in-depth knowledge of industry-standard software and tools. Recognized for strong management, mentoring, and leadership abilities, with a proven track record of guiding teams to successful project outcomes.

Dr. Yves Lamontagne, Ph.D, P. Eng  (1944-2023)

President

Yves Lamontagne graduated in geological engineering from École Polytechnique de Montréal in 1967, then received a M.Sc. in 1970, and a Ph.D. in 1975, both from the University of Toronto. The research subjects during this period were magnetic interpretation, potential field processing, electromagnetic interpretation and modelling, and the first developments of a wide band survey system, UTEM. During and between study periods, he worked in geological and geophysical exploration for six mining and exploration companies, and did software development and data processing consulting. He carried out geophysical contract surveys and was involved in geophysical consulting from 1975 through 1979. In 1979 he founded Lamontagne Geophysics Ltd. - specializing in wideband electromagnetic instrumentation and related surveys, interpretation and software. Forty years on his main research interests are in EM measuring techniques, noise reduction processing, wide band electromagnetic modelling and conductivity imaging techniques.

Rob Langridge, M.Sc, P. Geo

Senior Associate Geophysicist

Rob Langridge graduated in geology and physics from Queen's University in 1978 and received an M.Sc. from the University of Toronto in 1982. This has been followed up by further graduate work and teaching at Queen's University and extensive contract geophysical work. His association with Lamontagne Geophysics dates back to early 1982. Since then he has worked, and continues to work, extensively with LGL, with UTEM equipment and with LGL developments in both equipment and software. He brings to the table over 45 years of experience working with and evaluating EM field equipment, EM data and EM modelling software.
