description One of the specific features of porphyry copper (Cu) mineralization is the distinct occurrence of hydrothermal alteration zones, which can be mapped by processing various satellite images. Among free multispectral images, Landsat 8 OLI and ASTER data are known to be efficient in mapping different geological features, such as alteration zones and tectonic lineaments. This study aims to show the potential of these data types in mapping porphyry Cu mineralization by proposing a framework for employing and integrating different image processing methods. These methods include principal component analysis (PCA), spectral angle mapper (SAM), and matched filtering (MF) employed on these satellite images to map target al.teration zones. Moreover, PCA and directional filtering are applied to the ASTER dataset to enhance and map structural features. The results are evaluated and then combined to provide a potential map of Cu mineralization in the Chahargonbad area, located within the Urumieh-Dokhtar magmatic belt (UDMB) in Kerman province, Iran. The prediction-area plot and normalized density, which are data-driven methods, are used to assign the relative weight of each layer and evaluate them. Finally, using the calculated weights, data-driven multi-index overlay (DMIO) and fuzzy ordered weighted averaging (FOWA) methods are applied to combine the evidential layers. The potential mineralization maps created by the DMIO and FOWA provide a prediction rate of 80% and 82%, respectively. Furthermore, the accuracy of the integrated maps is investigated using the area under the curve (AUC) of the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. The AUC scores obtained from the ROC curves of DMIO and FOWA methods are 0.85 and 0.88, respectively, representing powerful positive spatial relationships with mineralization areas. Based on the results, the proposed framework can be applied to provide a potential map of porphyry Cu mineralization, particularly in arid regions, with reasonable accuracy.
