This subject introduces various modern GIS-aided and/or GIS-based techniques for mapping of prospective target areas for mineral exploration. It consists of two parts: (I) spectral remote sensing for mineral exploration and (II) spatial analysis for mapping of mineral prospectivity.
Learning Outcomes
- recognise indications of mineralisation from remotely-snesed data;
- analysis and integrate geoscience spatial information (e.g., geochemical anomalies) to map mineral prospectivity using GIS.
