The Parkam exploration district, Kerman, Iran: Geology, alterations, and delineation of Cu- and Mo-mineralized zones using U-spatial statistic with associated software development

Delineation of geochemical anomalies for mineral exploration using combining U-statistic method and fractal technique: U-N and U-A models

“…Actually, it is a window-based method which applies window dimensions for averaging in each particular point by utilising surrounding points. This method is way effective to separate anomaly from background and has been compared with the other separation methods (Ghannadpour et al 2015b(Ghannadpour et al , 2017a. One of the advantages of this method is ability of the U-statistic method in combining with other methods.…”

“…Parkam is selected as case study and in order to evaluate the proposed combined U-N and U-A models because this area and its condition (sample type, their grid, alteration map, etc.) is very suitable for validation of methods performance based on previous studies (Ghannadpour et al 2015b, 2017a; Ghannadpour and Hezarkhani 2018, 2020). It should be noted that sampling in Parkam was superficial and the samples located in sediments were collected either from rock outcrops or from trenches having access to rock.…”
