Characterizing Kimberlite Dilution by Crustal Rocks at the Snap Lake Diamond Mine (Northwest Territories, Canada) using SWIR (1.90–2.36μm) and LWIR (8.1–11.1μm) Hyperspectral Imagery Collected from Drill Core

Abstract: Short-wave infrared (SWIR, 1.90-2.36 µm) and long-wave infrared (LWIR, 8.1-11.1 µm) hyperspectral images collected using the SisuROCK system were used to develop an automated methodology for generating kimberlite dilution maps. Smoothed and denoised images from two Snap Lake (Northwest Territories, Canada) kimberlite drill cores were processed, and SWIR and LWIR spectral endmembers were extracted from the images with each mineralogical endmember assigned to one of four compositional groups: undiluted kimberlit… Show more

“…Each band in both of these wavelength ranges was used in the model development. Each spectrum was processed using CWT (e.g., Rivard et al 2008;Tappert et al 2015;Scafutto et al 2016) using the wmtsa package in R (Percival et al 2016). The CWT outputs were calculated for each spectral range using an eight-scale second-order Gaussian transform.…”

“…The push broom AisaOWL uses a cooled mercury cadmium telluride (MCT) detector and is integrated as part of the Specim SisuROCK drill-core scanner setup [20]. The field of view (FOV) of the OWL is identical to other available SisuROCK sensors, which allows for a straight-forward co-registration of RGB, VNIR, SWIR, and LWIR data [21,22], however, only at a rather coarse spatial resolution (~1.6 mm in the SisuROCK setup). The Telops Hyper-Cam provides a promising alternative: Designed as a Fourier-transform infrared spectrometry (FTIR) frame imager, it allows for a distinctly finer spatial and spectral resolution at a comparable spectral sensitivity.…”

“…There are various conventional analytical methods ( Table 1.1) that have been developed and employed to determine and estimate the mineral chemistry of carbonate rocks, as well as to characterize and control the chemical compositions of the cement raw materials and products. Infrared spectroscopy and laboratory-based hyperspectral imaging (imaging spectroscopy) techniques have been found suitable for determining mineral components of rocks or geologic materials (Baissa et al, 2011;Clark et al, 1990;Haest et al, 2012a;Hunt & Salisbury, 1971;Mathieu et al, 2017;Murphy et al, 2014;Oh et al, 2017;Schodlok et al, 2016;Tappert et al, 2011;Tappert et al, 2015;. However, these spectroscopic approaches have not been fully investigated in quantifying mineral chemistry of carbonate rocks.…”
