Process of Change in the Geographic Information System Technology In IRAN’s Geology and Exploration



The great amount of mineral deposits are not exposed on the surface and they are laid in lower layers. To Know about the upper layers, making use of Geographic Information System methods we can find out about their probable exsistance. In this way in exploration affair, in order to montage the data, as mineral potential map we can make use of Geographic Information System for making decision for future exploration priorities. Mineral exploration is a multi stage process which begins from small scale and change to large scale and then ends to choosing promising area for exploration in order to reach the mineral deposits.

In engineering geology, dip stability conditions and erosion state with Geographic Information System can be considered as best solution in development and mineral projects (Fig 4)

Geochemist, making we use of Geographic Information System, can define and draw the drainge basin area and obtian the bed rock of the collected samples or study spatial correlation among celenium distribution in the surficial water and distribution of local rocks.
