One of the major strengths of a Geographic Information System (GIS) in geosciences is the ability to integrate and combine multiple layers into mineral potential maps showing areas which are favorable for mineral exploration. These capabilities make GIS an extremely useful tool for mineral exploration. Several spatial modeling techniques can be employed to produce potential maps. However, these...

The study area, located in the southern section of the Central Iranian volcano–sedimentary complex, contains a large number of mineral deposits and occurrences which is currently facing a shortage of resources. Therefore, the prospecting potential areas in the deeper and peripheral spaces has become a high priority in this region. Different direct and indirect methods try to predict promising a...

In vector model, the boundary between features is stored and shown categorically in an absolute way, in other words Membership or non-membership of a point in each polygon is known which can be 0 or 1. For showing real world and its projection on map, because of the uncertainty on the border of the boundary between phenomena and spatial data, there is some uncertainty and vagueness in drawing a...

The Warner Pass map area is located 185 kilometres north of Vancouver on the northeastern margin of the Coast Mountains. It covers an area of 980 square kilometres within the Chilcotin Range, and is characterized by rugged mountains and glaciated U-shaped valleys; elevations vary from IS00 metres to over 3000 mctres, with a treeline at about 1800 metres. The sheet was mapped at a scale of 1:20 ...

This work describes a knowledge-guided clustering approach for mineral potential mapping (MPM), by which the optimum number of clusters is derived form a knowledge-driven methodology through a concentration-area (C-A) multifractal analysis. To implement the proposed approach, a case study at the North Narbaghi region in the Saveh, Markazi province of Iran, was investigated to discover porphyry ...

The goal of this paper is a first attempt to link the geology and mineral deposits of the Gondwana GIS, called GO-GEOID, to spatial statistics and map modelling. Such integration allows, for example, meaningful identification of the mineral potential of unexplored regions relative to those around them that are known to host major ore deposits. We use gold and tin deposits of Africa to derive pr...

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...

This report describes the preliminary re.wlts of surficial geological mapping during the 1992 field season in the Chilanko Forks (93Cil) and Chezacut 193CiX) map areas (Figure 4. IO-1 ). As part of the Canad;~ f3ritish Cofumhia Mineral Developme~~t Agreement, the British Columbia Geological Survey Rranch proposed to map the surlicial geology of these weiis to deriw drift exploration potential m...
