Regolith, geology and alteration mineral MAPS from new generation airborne and satellite remote sensing technologies

Summary

Airborne and satellite spectral data for the Kalgoorlie-Boulder 1:100 000 sheet were processed in this year-long collaborative project, to demonstrate the potential to produce useful new-generation maps of alteration mineralogy.

Twenty-three mineral maps from HyMap™ imagery were made, which are available through the Geological Survey of Western Australia.
