Azamat Zhumagali
Founder of A-Z Geology
The company's founder, a professional geologist with over 15 years of experience in geological exploration, MSc. Azamat has a high level of expertise in structural geology and geological exploration methods. His practice includes experience working with deposits of various genesis: polymetallic (Rudny Altai), copper-porphyry (Balkhash-Ili, Chatkal-Kuramin, Mongolian magmatic arcs), epithermal gold, infiltration uranium (Chu-Sarysu depression), chromium (Kempirsai ore-bearing region), vanadium (Karatau ridge). Despite his extensive experience, Azamat regularly takes advanced training courses abroad. In recent years, he has completed internships in the US (“Porphyry Cu, Mo, and Au Deposits,” “Structural Geology for Geotechnicians,” Arizona), Greece (“Description and Field Identification of Volcanic Rocks,” Milos Island), Cardiff University - Structural geology for exploration and mining. Azamat led geological consulting projects in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for the Ma'aden Ivanhoe Electric joint venture.

Din Muhammed Ali Srajadin
Instructor
Master of Engineering, geologist with field experience across exploration projects at various stages. He has substantial expertise working with porphyry copper-molybdenum, volcanogenic massive sulfide, epithermal gold deposits, and lithium brines in Central Asia.
He specializes in remote sensing interpretation of ASTER satellite imagery. Through his analysis of such data, Din Muhammed has repeatedly identified prospective targets that were subsequently confirmed through field investigations and recommended for detailed exploration programs. His additional areas of expertise include ore deposit mapping, spectral geology, lithogeochemical exploration, drill core logging, and quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC).
In 2023, he completed an international internship in Arizona, USA, where he conducted advanced studies of Cu-Au-Mo porphyry deposits.
