description Kayseri and Adana region of Taurus mountain belt is considered in the second range for iron mineralization in Turkey. The region is characterized by high-grade iron οre deposits under exploitation, development and exploration stage. The objective of this research is to assess the potential of Landsat-8 OLI and Advanced Spacebοrne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) data for mapping iron oxide zones hosted by carbonate units in low vegetation cover in Tufanbeyli (Adana) and surrounding region. The methods used in this study for the detection of the iron oxides are Band Ratio (BR) and Feature-Oriented Principal Component Selectiοn (FOPCS). The obtained results have good correlation with 92% confidence intervals in BR method for Ferric iron (2/1), ferric oxide (4/3) and ferrous iron (5/4 +1/2) of Aster and iron oxide (4/2) and ferrous iron (6/5) οf the Landsat-8. We note that the results obtained in this study using PC4 of FOPCS depict a good spatial correlation by comparison with the previously mapped iron deposits. The significant lithologic groups Carbonate (limestone) be extracted well from ASTER data however alluvium is mapped well in the Landsat -8 OLI image using Band Ratio Color Composite (BRCC). We conclude that the Landsat-8 OLI and Aster images present good precision for iron ore discrimination in low vegetation lands.
