Abstract In this study, we present the application of two novel hybrid multiple-criteria decision-making (MCDM) techniques in mineral potential mapping (MPM), namely FUCOM-MOORA and FUCOM-MOOSRA, as robust computational frameworks for MPM. These were applied to a set exploration targeting criteria skarn. The multi-objective optimization method on basis ratio analysis (MOORA) simple (MOOSRA) app...

We describe a vision for national-scale heavy mineral (HM) map generated through automated mineralogical identification and quantification of HMs contained in floodplain sediments from large catchments covering most Australia. The composition the reflects dominant rock types each catchment, with generally resistant largely preserving fingerprint their host protoliths weathering-transport-deposi...

Annotation: Analysis of physiological properties of the nerve fibers, associated with their specialized function – excitation transmission, is done. Possibility in principle of the same principles' usage in the communication channels is established. It is shown that characteristics of nerve fibers as communication channels are comparable to characteristics of existing wire transmission media of...

in this study, the reliability of the primary gold mineralization exploration using multispectral etm+ imagery was investigated in lahroud region, northwest iran, which was conducted by integration of alteration and structural indicators. co-occurrence of the clay minerals and iron oxides is an important criterion in gold deposit exploration; therefore, their alteration zones were mapped using ...

The study area is located ~50 km in the north of Tehran capital city, Iran, and is a part of central Alborz Mountain. The intrusive bodies aged post Eocene have intruded in the Eocene volcanic units causing hydrothermal alterations in these units. Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) images were used to map hydrothermal alteration zones. The propylitic, phyllic...

The Middle–Lower Yangtze River Metallogenic Belt is an important copper and iron polymetallic metallogenic belt in China. Today’s economic development inseparable from the support of metal mineral resources. With continuous exploitation shallow easily identifiable mines China, prospecting work deep hidden very important. Mineral prospectivity modeling (MPM) means to improve efficiency explorati...

As part of the European-Peruvian ION4RAW project (Horizon 2020 framework programme European Commission), which aims at developing mineral-processing technology to recover selected by-products (e.g., Te, Bi, Co, Re, Mo, Pt, Sb, Ge, Se, In) from primary Cu-Ag-Au deposits, we assessed a geographical inventory elements. However, not all elements economic interest today have been systematically assa...

The Bonaparte project is a multi-year bedrock mapping program initiated by the British Columbia Geological Survey during the 2000 field season. The project is focused on Mesozoic arc volcanic and plutonic rocks of the Quesnel Terrane in the northeastern part of the Bonaparte Lake (92P) map sheet (Figure 1). This area encompasses a northwest-trending belt of high mineral potential that includes ...
