The method of weights of evidence is one of the most important data driven methods for mineral potential mapping in GIS. In this method, considering the characteristics of known mineralized locations, we can prospect new mineralized areas. In this research work, the method of weights of evidence has been used for hydrothermal gold potential mapping in Torbat-e-Heydarieh area, east of Iran. As a...

Identification and mapping of the significant alterations are the main objectives of the exploration geochemical surveys. The field study is time-consuming and costly to produce the classified maps. Therefore, the processing of remotely sensed data, which provide timely and multi-band (multi-layer) data, can be substituted for the field study. In this study, the ASTER imagery is used for altera...

Geoscientists have extensively used machine learning for geological mapping and exploring the mineral prospect of a province. However, interpretation results becomes challenging due to complexity models. This study uses convolutional neural network (CNN) Shapley additive explanation (SHAP) estimate potential locations gold mineralisation in Rengali Province, tectonised mosaic volcano-sedimentar...

In gold (Au) exploration, the analysis of both bulk leach extractable (BLEG) and acid-extractable Au in <180μm stream sediment fraction are two most common approaches. The Eskişehir- Sivrihisar region Western Türkiye hosts several orogenic type mineral deposits. purpose this study is to delineate geochemical anomalies ore-related elements track their dispersion, which may lead discovery unknown...
