About Us /
Our objective: to support you in the evaluation, management and implementation of your project.
ORFLOW GEOSCIENCES INC. offers consulting services across the geothermal, mineral exploration, and hydrogeology sectors. Regardless of your project’s complexity or your specific circumstances, we are committed to devising the best strategy to meet your needs and objectives.
Orflow Geosciences inc. was meticulously developed by its two partners over the course of their academic and professional careers
Co-founder and President
Christophe brings over ten years of combined academic and industrial experience in mineral resources to his role. He has spent seven years managing exploration programs both in Quebec and on the international stage. Throughout his career, he has honed his expertise in targeting a diverse range of deposits and commodities, utilizing advanced geoscience tools, including artificial intelligence. His extensive experience, notably at ALS GoldSpot Discoveries Ltd. and Osisko Mining Inc. has also equipped him with strong skills in personnel management, budget planning, and training. Christophe possesses a unique talent for devising effective strategies to meet the challenges presented to him.
Co-founder
Thanks to a solid background in geology, hydrogeology, and geothermal energy, Marion has developed expertise in groundwater characterization and management, in the assessment and support of geothermal system deployment, as well as in mineral resource exploration through hydrogeochemistry. She conducted her doctoral research at the industrial site of the Theistareykir geothermal power plant in Iceland and gained consulting experience at Richelieu Hydrogeology Inc., under the supervision of Yves Leblanc. Her international experience has endowed her with a reliable and innovative perspective in her field of expertise. Marion is keen to apply her attentive approach to support your project, offering tailored solutions that align with your specific needs.
