A variety of regional geoscience datasets from Nova Scotia have been co-registered and analyzed using a geographic information system (GIS). The datasets include bedrock and surficial geological maps, airborne geophysical survey data, geochemistry of lake-sediment samples, and mineral occurrence data. A number of line features, including structural lineaments, fold axes and formation contacts, ...

    Introduction Epithermal deposits are usually found in association with near-surface magmatic-hydrothermal environments with volcanic rocks. According to studies, their formation depth is less than 1.5 km and the temperature for their formation is less than 300 ° C. Epithermal deposits are usually rich in gold to gold-silver and rich in silver and include low sulfide, medium sulfide and hig...

The development of mineral prospectivity mapping (MPM), which aims to outline and prioritize exploration targets, has been spurred by advances in data-driven machine learning algorithms. Supervised MPM is a typical few-shot task, suffering from scarcity labeled data, the over-fitting models an uncertainty predictions. main objective this contribution propose robust framework (FSL), combining da...

The Dolatabad area located in SE Iran is a well-endowed terrain owning several chromite mineralized zones. These chromite ore bodies are all hosted in a colored mélange complex zone comprising harzburgite, dunite, and pyroxenite. These deposits are irregular in shape, and are distributed as small lenses along colored mélange zones. The area has a great potential for discovering further chromite...

Recent research on BIF-related high-grade iron ore mineralization has resulted in new genetic models that emphasize the structurally controlled hypogene alteration and upgrade of BIF to high-grade (>65% Fe) iron ore. Conventional structural and stratigraphic mapping and reconstructions of the tectonic history of iron districts, in combination with high-tech geochemical analyses such as laser IC...

The Shahr-e-Babak district, as the studied area, is known for its large Cu resources. It is located in the southern side of the Central Iranian volcano–sedimentary complex in SE Iran. Shahr-e-Babak is currently facing a shortage of resources, and therefore, mineral exploration in the deeper and peripheral spaces has become a high priority in this area. This work aims to identify the geochemical...
