Advanced Integrated Methods in Mineral Exploration: Applied Geochemistry, Geophysics and Remote Sensing

The present book shows three main types of studies. Geochemistry, geophysics and remote sensing are its three main parts. In this book, four new methods for geophysical data are introduced. Methods for determining cementation rate, permeability and torsion coefficient in carbonate reserves as well as estimators for converting radiometric data to magnetometry are new methods. Combining methods such as K-means, factorial analysis, hierarchical analysis, differentiation analysis, etc. were combined with various methods and finally the methods were improved by using artificial neural network and AHP method. In the field of remote sensing, several methods such as bandwidth ratio, SAM, LS -Fit, etc. were used. The appeal of these methods became apparent when combined with geological data as well as magnetometry. Finally, the algorithms in each section were demonstrated using flowcharts and tested on different data. The accuracy and results of each section were presented separately according to their sensitivity. In general, the innovative and combined methods presented in this book have higher accuracy and speed and are naturally much less cost.
