Mineral mapping is a method used in the field of geology to identify and analyze the distribution of minerals within a specific geographic area. This process involves the use of various remote sensing techniques, such as satellite imagery, hyperspectral imaging, and aerial surveys, to detect and map the different mineral compositions present in the Earth's crust. Mineral mapping is essential for mineral exploration, environmental monitoring, and land-use planning, as it helps geologists and scientists better understand the geological characteristics of a region and identify potential mineral resources. By accurately mapping the distribution of minerals, researchers can assess the economic potential of an area, evaluate environmental impacts, and make informed decisions regarding resource management and development.
