Mineral Mapping, Mining, Geological Mapping | Satellite,

Satellite imagery and aerial photography have proven to be important tools in support of mineral exploration projects. The tools are used in a variety of ways. Firstly, they provide geologists and field crews with the location of tracks, roads, fences, and inhabited areas. This is important for mapping out potential access corridors for exploration areas and considering the

Mapping Minerals with Satellite Imagery - GIS Lounge

11/04/2018· Mapping Minerals with Satellite Imagery. Mapping minerals from space was one of the main motivating reasons for creating the earliest multispectral satellite systems such as the Landsat satellites when they were launched in 1972. More modern systems, including the recent Landsat 8, Sentinel-2, and ASTER, have improved upon this endeavor by giving,
