The application of remote sensing sciences in the field geology is very diverse and wide. One its most important applications earth geological mapping. Mineral exploration using techniques done different ways, one them mapping alteration zones related to mineral resources. Given importance geosciences today's industry given that deposit-related areas are exploratory keys. this review study meth...

The special issue entitled “Developments in Quantitative Assessment and Modeling of Mineral Resource Potential” is composed 17 papers that cover a diverse range approaches to mineral resource assessment, including mainly multivariate statistical analysis, fractal multifractal modeling, geostatistical machine learning, mathematical morphology 3D exploration. This introductory article first provi...

Machine learning methods that have been used in data-driven predictive modeling of mineral prospectivity (e.g., artificial neural networks) invariably require large number of training prospect/locations and are unable to handle missing values in certain evidential data. The Random Forests (RF) algorithm, which is a machine learning method, has recently been applied to data-driven predictive map...

Mineral prospectivity mapping (MPM) based on the principle of geometric mean was applied to stream sediment geochemical, fault density, and aeromagnetic data from Tagmout basin, Morocco determine new areas for optimizing copper exploration. The application a fuzzy operator using data, factor analysis, density map, allowed weights be assigned these parameters so that MPM function can process the...

Drill-core samples are a key component in mineral exploration campaigns, and their rapid objective analysis is becoming increasingly important. Hyperspectral imaging of drill-cores non-destructive technique that allows for non-invasive fast mapping phases alteration patterns. The use adapted machine learning techniques such as supervised algorithms robust accurate drill-core hyperspectral data....

High-resolution mapping by visible and near-infrared orbital spectrometers has revealed a diversity of hydrated mineral deposits on the surface of Mars. Quantitative analysis of mineral abundances within these deposits has the potential to distinguish depositional and diagenetic processes. Such analysis can also provide important constraints on the nature of putative global and local-scale mine...
