摘要:ASTER short wave infrared (SWIR) bands have been known to be suitable for mapping hydrous silicates and carbonates. The occurrence of certain mineral groups and specific minerals which include; kaolinite, alunite, illite, muscovite, montmorillonite, chlorite, calcite, dolomite, serpentine, and others, have been predicted using the SWIR bands. The aim of this research is to investigate the presence of hydrothermal alteration minerals and their relationship with the tin mineralisation in the study area using ASTER satellite imagery and other data sets.
