Remote sensing geological characteristics and metallogenic condition

The study area is located in the Altun non- ferrous metals,precious metals,iron,asbestos and jade metallogenic belt where favorable metallogenic geological conditions occur and there are great prospecting potential in the area. Due to the poor natural condition,the exploration work has been less done. To apply the remote sensing technique for mineral resource survey,not only overcome the limitation of natural conditions,but also can quickly understand the regional geological characteristics and metallogenic regularity etc. This paper introduces the remote sensing interpretation of all kinds of geological bodies using multi- spectral satellite datain combination of the existing geological and mineralized data based on remote sensing image features analysis and interpretation signs establishment. By the field investigation,the geological boundaries have been re- determined,and newly thirteen mineralization occurrences were outlined. Through metallogenic geological condition analysis and remote sensing prospecting prediction,five remote sensing prospecting target areas have been delineated,and this study will provide the basis data for further geological prospecting work.
