Identification of areas perspective for gold mineralization based on results of airborne and satellite hyperspectral data processing

Main stages of technology of processing and analysis of hyperspectral data for mineral exploration are described. Examples of hyperspectral data (airborne and satellite) application to identify zones of hydrothermal-metasomatic alterations of rocks, perspective for gold mineralization in the Suetkinskaya area (Altai Republic) and Mnogovershinnaya area (Amur region) are given.
Keywords: hyperspectral data, ASTER, indicator minerals, hydrothermal alteration of rocks, gold mineralization.
