Zarshuran gold mine is located in Takab city and West Azarbaijan province. Due to the importance of remote sensing in the identification of mineralization and alterations in mineral areas, remote sensing studies were carried out around the gold mine. The purpose of these studies was to identify mineralization zones around the mine area. In this study, due to the suitability of Aster Images to identify copper alterations various methods of remote sensing such as false color combinations (FCC) and spectral angle mapper (SAM) for mapping altrations and promising regions were used. Finally, areas with mineralization and alteration were presented as maps.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
