Integration of Selective Dimensionality Reduction Techniques for Mineral Exploration Using ASTER Satellite Data by Hodjat Shirmard, Ehsan Farahbakhsh, Amin Beiranvand Pour, Aidy M Muslim, R. Dietmar Müller, Rohitash Chandra

“…In this investigation, several previously unmapped prospective zones were detected using the integrated hydrothermal alteration map and most of the known hydrothermal mineral occurrences showed a high prospectivity value. Fieldwork and laboratory analysis were conducted to validate the results and to verify new prospective zones in the study area, which indicated a good consistency with the remote sensing output. …”
