Using this map as a base map and another data is prepared the mineral potential map and target areas in south west of this province for copper exploration. This project is one of the successful examples of using GIS in exploration studied areas. Methodology Most important reason for creation of mineral potential map using GIS is identification of target areas for ore deposits. for creation of these maps the data collect and prepare. After classification a data base is building for all of layers and link to it. The base map for this map is a digital geological map of the province.(Fig. 1) The deposits divided to metallic and none-metallic and then the main groups re divided into active, abandoned and indication. In addition the symbols show size and type of deposits and there are more another information in the data base of map.
