About Essential Earth Analysis
Structural geology consulting for mineral exploration and mining companies: fast insight, grounded in surface and subsurface observations, rigorous interpretation, focused on timely and practical support for your immediate needs.
Our Story
Built on structural insight
Essential Earth Analysis was founded to give mineral-sector clients direct access to senior structural geology expertise and deliver quick, accurate and cost effective structural models. My practice brings together decades of worldwide experience in structural geology, field geology, and seismic and geophysical interpretation to support exploration and mining decisions with clear reporting to meet your immediate needs.
I aim for defensible interpretation, verifying surface and subsurface structural data, and deformational sequencing. I use stereonet analyses for geometry and projection, and mass-balanced structural sections (Halliburton’s Lithotect) of rock units and ore bodies to guide 3 dimensional models for your digital platforms.
Expertise
Technical depth that clients trust
I have a PhD from MIT and PGeo certification from the Province of Alberta, with a career spanning decades structural interpretation projects from diverse tectonic settings. Clients engage Essential Earth Analysis for technically sound work, practical communication, and immediate value on active programs.

Approach
Field-based, practical, precise
Every engagement is shaped by the realities of exploration and mining work: limited time, and the need for the best interpretations based on the best current data that can guide minimum risk action. Essential Earth Analysis focuses on delivering geological understanding that is technically rigorous and immediately useful to project teams.
That means integrating field observations with structural analysis to verify data quality, establish fold and fault geometries, kinematic indicators and deformational sequence. I work with your team to integrate this history and improve confidence in subsurface models. The goal is not simply to produce an interpretation, but to engage in your learning process to make better decisions about targeting, drilling, development, and risk.
Fast insight, low overhead, and hands-on structural interpretation for mineral exploration and mining projects.
