As a primary step in mineral exploration, a variety of features are mapped such as lithological units, alteration types, structures, and minerals. These features are extracted to aid decision-making in targeting ore deposits. Different types of remote sensing data including satellite optical and radar, airborne, and drone-based data make it possible to overcome problems associated with mapping these important parameters on the field. The rapid increase in the volume of remote sensing data obtained from different platforms has allowed scientists to develop advanced, innovative, and powerful data processing methodologies. Machine learning methods can help in processing a wide range of remote sensing data and in determining the relationship between the reflectance continuum and features of interest. Moreover, these methods are robust in processing spectral and ground truth measurements
