Remote sensing data for Geological mapping and gold prospecting of Inteet area, northern Sudan

The mineral exploration has improved in the last decades, today there are different methods of remote exploration, that applied mining industry worldwide, helping to discover ore minerals deposits zones have not access them. study area this article is located about 400 km from Khartoum, characterized by low reliefs covered sand and gravely sand. wants carry out geological mapping prospective using sensing GIS techniques. Sudan formations over inaccessible areas, way technique a great value these conditions, saving time money. used methodology been divided into three phases: Pre-field office work, field work post-field work. processing satellite images includes color band composites, order obtain lithological features, types rocks were defined color. Obtaining following rock types: High-grade gneisses migmatites described comprise basement complex, ophiolitic mafic-ultramafic appear northern southern sides area, metasediments cover most syn-orogenic intrusions cut older units metavolcanosedimentary sequences, post-orogenic gold mineralization. Based on image analysis results Landsat 8 OLI, 32 samples collected pathfinder elements obtaining high anomalies for Au, Ag, Cu, Zn, Pb Fe.
