Description

As a result of the initial remote sensing survey potentially target areas for future mineral detection and exploration were identified on satellite multispectral images. The challenge is to perform detailed high resolution mapping in RGB and NIR channels to obtain more clear picture of exploration targets location and evaluation Next level of development is to find the way to map from drone in SWIR even with minimal number of channels This will significantly enhance picture and give us more trustworthy results. As a conclusion we could note that even limited number of remote sensing data could be very useful for the exploration geologist s for documenting and discovery of mineral deposits
