Mineral Potential Mapping for Orogenic Gold Deposits in ...
The Rio Maria granite-greenstone terrain is characterized by extensive surficial cover and a lack of outcrop. Therefore, airborne geophysical measurements play a major role in mineral exploration in this region. A high-resolution airborne survey was used to build a prospectivity model for gold targeting employing a fuzzy logic technique.
Weighted Photolineaments Factor (WPF): An Enhanced Method ...
Decreasing the uncertainty and increasing the prediction rate of evidential maps are two important objectives in mineral prospectivity mapping (MPM). In this paper, we proposed weighted photolineaments factor (WPF) to generate a continuous weighted structural evidential map with high prediction rate and low uncertainty in Chahrgonbad area. The WPF which has four components was …

An accurate definition of environment of sediment deposition is a sine qua non for characterizing and providing measures for enhancing hydrocarbon reservoirs. Consequently, this study is aimed at determining the sub-environment of deposition and architecture of two reservoirs: S1000 and S2000 reservoirs, in 'SABALO' field, deep offshore Niger Delta. In addition, the study is imperative in ...

Chromium concentrations in seawater are less than 0.5 μg/L, but the Cr(VI) in contaminated coastal groundwater affected by Cr-bearing rocks/ores and/or human activities, coupled with the intrusion of seawater may reach values of hundreds of μg/L. A potential explanation for the stability of the harmful Cr(VI) in contaminated coastal aquifers is still unexplored. The present study is an ...

Mineral prospectivity mapping with weights of evidence and ...
Knowledge-and data-driven approaches are two major methods used to integrate various evidential maps for mineral prospectivity mapping (MPM). Geological maps, geochemical samples and data from known gold deposits were collected in the western Junggar area, Xinjiang Province. The geological and a spatial database for geological and mineral occurrences were constructed for the studied region.

A Mineral prospectivity mapping (MPM) approach using a GIS-based weighted linear combination implementation of a Multi-Criteria Evaluation approach utilising a fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process to elucidate expert knowledge has been implemented to analyse the spatial distribution of epithermal deposits on the Island of Milos, Greece and model their association with exploration evidence data ...
Predictive Mapping of the Mineral Potential Using ...
Mineral Prospectivity Mapping (MPM) is a multi-step process that ranks a promising target area for more exploration. This is achieved by integrating multiple geoscience datasets using mathematical tools to determine spatial relationships with known mineral occurrences in a GIS environment to produce mineral prospectivity map. The study area lies within Latitudes 9° 00ʹ N to …

Mineral prospectivity mapping using a joint singularity ...
The successful application of geographic information system (GIS)-based mineral prospectivity mapping (MPM) essentially relies on two factors: one is reasonable evidential layers that conform to geological cognition, and the other is excellent models that can extract critical prospecting information from evidential layers.

Some of the mineral prospectivity methods that use geosciences data sets include Boolean algebra [7] and the index overlay method [2, 13, 14]. While the binary and index overlay methods are simple, they have disadvantages such as limited information in the map and not being suitable to model complex non-linear relationships.

The goal is to parameterize the complex relationships between the data and the labels such that mineral potential can be estimated in under-explored regions using available geoscience data. Numerous models and algorithms have been attempted for mineral prospectivity mapping in the past, and in this thesis we propose two new approaches.
