“Eugene is a quick learner and multi-talented individual. No task is too tough for him to accomplish.
Dragan Djordjevic, Geologist, Gobi Coal and Energy, managed Eugene indirectly at Zaraiya Holdings Limited
"In the last two seasons I had pleasure to work with Eugene in two companies: Zaraiya Holdings Limited and Gobi Coal and Energy,
where I was in a position of senior level. Our management employed Eugene because he performed a high quality of geophysical
activities. Especially I would like to highlight his cleverness and knowledge of scientific (geology) software which were very useful for
data assessment. I also highlight his big capacity for learning new languages. My opinion is that his positive spirit is and team leading
skills will show in Eugene's work."
Gordon McLean, Principal Exploration Geologist, Explorinfo, worked with Eugene at Ottoman Resources
"Eugene has very good ground magnetic data handling skills and is dedicated to collecting quality data. I found him to be an able
problem solver, and willing to contribute to the project in more than just his specialty."
Mike Pole, Geologist with Gobi Coal and Energy, worked directly with Eugene at Zaraiya Holdings Limited
"I have known Eugene for more than two years and have worked with him in the field. I can say that he is a dedicated, diligent
worker -willing to work hard, long days in trying conditions (Mongolia, Turkey, Indonesia) and then follow up on his field work with a
professional report. He is also very smart in a wide range of technical expertise and gets along very easily with his colleagues, as
well as local contacts. I would have no hesitation at recommending Eugene to a prospective employer."
Michael Sullivan, Senior Geologist, Zaraiya Holdings LLC, worked indirectly for Eugene at Zaraiya Holdings Limited
"Eugene was a senior geophysicist and I was a senior geologist for Zaraiya Holdings, LLC in 2008. Eugene is a self-driven leader and
team player. He contributes 100 percent of his time to projects. I was fortunate to be assigned to his geophysical survey team during
my last three weeks in the field. Eugene is an excellent communicator and is a pleasure to work with both in the field and in the office.
Eugene is also a good supervisor and takes pride in the people he selects or hires for his projects. Eugene and I adhere to similar
work principles. We like to solve problems with research and field observation. Both of us have an appreciation of the geosciences
and digital mapping. I consider Eugene a trusted co-worker and a genuine friend."
