Geologist , at JCHX Mining Management company, LTD, China.

Dr. Kevin Igor Azeuda Ndonfack is an accomplished early-career geologist with a deep passion for economic geology and mineral exploration. He has a dynamic professional background that bridges academia and industry, currently serving as a Postdoctoral Geologist Engineer at JCHX Mining Management Co., Ltd. and as a Researcher at the Chinese Academy of Geological Sciences. Fluent in English, French, and Chinese, Dr. Azeuda is a multilingual scientific communicator who has made significant contributions to the discovery and understanding of copper and gold deposits across the Central African Copperbelt. His strong problem-solving skills, field expertise, and analytical mindset make him a rising star in the global geoscience community.

Professional Profile

Orcid

Education 🎓

Dr. Azeuda earned his Doctorate in Engineering (Mining Engineering – Economic Geology) from the University of Science and Technology Beijing, China (2017–2022), with a thesis focused on primary gold deposits in the Pan-African Orogeny of Eastern Cameroon. Prior to that, he obtained a Master’s degree in Petrology-Tectonics and Natural Resources and a Bachelor’s degree in Earth Sciences from the University of Yaoundé I, Cameroon. He also pursued Chinese language training at USTB to better integrate into his academic and professional environment in China.

Experience 👩‍

Dr. Azeuda is currently leading geological research and field operations at JCHX Mining and the Chinese Academy of Geological Sciences, focusing on mineral exploration in the Central African region. He is actively involved in core sampling, field mapping, data management, and multilingual document translation for cross-border collaboration. He has contributed significantly to the discovery of the Lonshi-East copper deposit (26Mt @ 3.99% Cu) and has established a geotectonic model for sediment-hosted copper deposits that is referenced in ongoing exploration projects.

Research Interests 🔬

Dr. Azeuda’s research is centered around the exploration geology and geochemistry of ore deposits, with a special emphasis on sediment-hosted and orogenic gold and copper deposits. He has investigated key mineralized systems such as the Lonshi and Dikulushi copper deposits, along with others in the Central African Copperbelt including Kamoa, Kipushi, and Chambeshi. His work combines field exploration, drill core logging, mineralogy, geochemical analysis, isotopic dating, and the application of AI in ore deposit modeling, aiming to unravel the geological processes that control mineralization.

Awards 🏆

Dr. Azeuda has received multiple prestigious awards recognizing his academic and research excellence. In 2023, he was awarded 400,000 RMB in postdoctoral research funding by the Beijing Municipal Government. He also received the First Prize for Cameroonian Excellence PhD from the Cameroon Embassy in China (2022), and the Outstanding Graduate Student Award from USTB. His international recognition includes the SEG Grant (Chile), the GeoHost Award at the 36th IGC in India, and awards from JCHX and his host university in Beijing for his research publications and conference achievements.
