Abstract

Geological remote sensing and mineral mapping has predominantly been performed in regions of prominent outcrop with very little vegetation.Considerably less research has been attempted in weathered terrains where much of the bedrock is obscured by regolith or biota.The White Dam copper-gold-molybendenite prospect, together with adjacent mineral workings offer a promising location for investigating regolith spectral characteristics in relation to basement and altered mineralised rocks.
