Contribution of multispectral remote sensing to mining exploration in the Rehamna Massif, Moroccan Meseta
The Western Moroccan Meseta contains mining sites in operation for several decades and others in development. The Rehamna Massif belonging to this, is the subject of this study. The present study reveals new results on the mineralization in this massif. It is based on the synergy of field investigat...

| description | The Western Moroccan Meseta contains mining sites in operation for several decades and others in development. The Rehamna Massif belonging to this, is the subject of this study. The present study reveals new results on the mineralization in this massif. It is based on the synergy of field investigation data and ASTER image analysis (L1T) covering this massif. Through spectral processing, namely the calculation of the band ratios, ACP and MNF, applied to the nine VNIR and SWIR bands of this image, it was possible to reveal the distribution of hydrothermal alteration minerals in the study area. The conjuncture of these data allowed us to select geological targets likely to be of potential mining interest in the massif. |
