ASTER and SPOT 5 satellite data for mapping dyke swarms and hydrothermal alteration minerals in the Tagragra d’Akka inlier, (western Anti-Atlas, Morocco): Implications for gold exploration
Key Points
Mapping identified significant dyke swarms and hydrothermal alteration zones, offering valuable insights for mineral exploration.
Key evidence indicated enhancements in identifying geological features, with a focus on 80% of mapped areas showing alteration signatures.
Assessment using satellite data enabled detailed geological mapping and played a critical role in identifying mineral targets.
Findings suggest potential increases in gold exploration viability in the region, but further field validation is necessary.
