Reflectance and emittance spectroscopy in the near-infra red and short-wave infra red offers a rapid, Inexpensive, non-destructive tool for determining the mineralogy of rock and soil samples. Hyperspectral remote sensing has the potential to provide the detailed physico-chemistry (mineralogy, chemistry, morphology) of the earth’s surface. This information is useful for mapping potential host r...

Onzon-Kanbani area is a western flank of Mogok Metamorphic Belt where gold mineralization is hosted as auriferous quartz-vein with epithermal low-sulphidation characters. Mineralization is closely associated with NE-SW trending fracture or shear zone probably related to the dextral movement of the Sagaing Fault system. Mineralization related hydrothermal alteration is developed as narrow zones ...

A field-mapping and crystal-chemical study of two aluniteand halloysite-rich deposits in the Turplu area, situated northwest of Balıkesir on the Biga Peninsula of northwest Turkey reveals a mineralogically diverse and a potentially economic clay deposit. The mineral assemblage along fault zones is dominated by halloysite and sometimes alunite. The alunite is nearly end-member in composition (a ...

mercury mineralization has occurred in relation with a listwaenitic type hydrothermal alteration system in tavreh area located northwest of khoy. mercury-bearing alteration zone which has an area about 0.4 km2 is situated in one of aland river upstreams. the only mercury compound found in this district is mercury sulfide (cinnabar) deposited as vein and veinlet forms. geochemical investigations...

introduction pyrite is the most abundant sulfide mineral in low sulfidation ore deposits. experimental studies have shown that low-temperature ( 200°c) from hydrothermal or metamorphic fluids (butler and rickard, 2000). framboidal pyrite mostly occurs in sedimentary environments, though it could also form during metamorphism and hydrothermal alteration (scott et al., 2009). the pyrite formed te...

Remote sensing plays an important role in mineral exploration. One of its proven applications is extracting host-rock lithology and alteration zones that are related to porphyry copper deposits. An Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) was used to map the Baogutu porphyry deposit alteration area. A circular alteration mineral zoning pattern was clearly observed ...

Accurate lithological mapping is a crucial juncture for geological studies and mineral exploration. Hyperspectral data provide the opportunity to extract detailed information about geology mineralogy of Earth’s surface. Machine learning (ML) deep (DL) techniques an accurate effective various types lithologies in arid semi-arid regions. This article discusses use machine algorithms, specifically...

Space-borne hyperspectral imagery data are known for their high spectral resolution in a number of narrow wavelength intervals, which makes these useful mineral mapping. However, the available free-of-charge scenes cover only and scattered geographic areas. In contrast, multispectral have nearly complete spatial coverage wider intervals. The low data, however, limits efficiency mapping small ge...
