Finding sulfides with remote sensing
Rock slab, gridded
Hyperspectral data cube illustrating a large number of spectral bands, most beyond the visible region of the electromagnetic spectrum.
Significant association between sulfide percentage and thermal infrared reflectance guides prospectors to rich mineral deposits associated with sulfides.
Mining exploration techniques can benefit from remote sensing in the following ways:
Develop a lithologic & mineral mapping capability for northern latitudes where vast terrains of poor accessibility make field work costly
