Exploration Geologist Quinton Hennigh
The Science Teacher—March/April 2021 (Volume 88, Issue 4)
By Luba Vangelova
Exploration geologists, colloquially known as prospectors, look for new sources of mineral deposits. They use a mix of geological, geophysical, and geochemical knowledge to analyze data and test hypotheses about where deposits are likely to be found. “You identify targets, drill holes, and try to find treasure,” says Quinton Hennigh. He is currently a consultant and also the founder, president, and chairman of Novo Resources, an international gold exploration and production company, in Longmont, Colorado.
