Our Story
Founded in 2020, Walkabout Exploration started as a student-owned business, and has since evolved into a comprehensive prospecting and exploration company. With numerous properties in British Columbia, we focus on underexplored regions and unique exploration models to generate new greenfield targets and highlight missed opportunities. With a diverse background in planetary science, mapping, and geospatial analysis, we leverage an interdisciplinary approach that provides unique exploration insight.
Ethics and Compliance
Walkabout Exploration is not a registered firm with Engineers and Geoscientists BC (EGBC), and no staff members currently hold a P.Geo or P.Eng. As such, we cannot provide certain services as defined in the Professional Governance Act and in some situations we may require clients to retain the services of a Professional Geoscientist to oversee our work. For more information, please contact us.
We recognize the importance of reconciliation and are committed to meaningful community engagement during the prospecting process.
