Kerman province mineral occurrence distribution map and mineral exploration targets area in south west of this province using GIS


After this level, all of layers for creation of copper mineral potential map in the studied area are prepared.(Fig.2)


Figure 2 Index map of study area

These layers includes:
  • Mining information layer: this layer is one of the most important layers which consists of index mines and indications for modeling and it get from the mineral occurrence distribution map of Kerman province.
  • Geology layer: includes geological units in study area.(Fig.3)


    Figure 3 Binary maps of faults and Geological units in study area

  • Airborne geophysics layer: this layer is prepared using aero magnetic data and correlate filtration of that.(Fig.4)

  • Exploration geochemical data: includes Para genesis anomalies of Copper mineralization in study area.
  • Remote sensing layers: includes faults map, alteration zones map and rock units map.(Fig.5)

  • Faults layer: this layer is the results of integration of geological, remote sensing and geophysical maps.
  • Alteration layers: the alterations data which in identified in the field by geologist.
These layers are classified in different weighted maps after being processed.
