Hutchinson was born in London, Ontario. He became an expert in geology, and is responsible for the concept of exhalative ore deposits which became a successful model in exploring massive sulphide deposits in rock strata around the world. The model indirectly but correctly predicts that massive sulphides should be found around hot fluid vents on the seafloor. He has won numerous awards and medals.
