Abstract

The study area is located in the north west of Malayer-Esfahan Metallogenic belt (MEMB). The MEMB is placed within the Sanandaj-Sirjan metamorphic belt in western part of Iran. Remote Sensing techniques play a vital role in exploration of minerals and its capability in Spectral Mapping of rock units. The purpose of this research is the processing of ASTER Images for lithological mapping and especially host rock of mineralization in the region. So diagnostic spectral absorption features in rock forming minerals at ASTER thermal infrared (TIR) and visible through short wave infrared (VNIR-SWIR) region has been used for extraction of needed information foridentification and mapping of different rock units in the study area. By using ASTER TIR image two rock types including Jurassic, quartz-rich shale and sandstones and lower Cretaceous carbonate are mapped in the area. ASTER VNIR-SWIR images based on PPI metode and Matched Filter classification (MF) illustrate different kinds of rocks of the region, including Jurassic shale, clay-rich sandstone, and at the base of Early Cretaceous sandstone-dolomite unit, which is a common host rock for a number of economic minerals as well as different types of Early Cretaceous carbonate rocks such as calcite and dolomite. Therefore, using ASTER data provide image-based maps of rocks and minerals that are consistent with available geologic mapping information and field observations for the study area. Also ASTER VNIR-SWIR data offer more diverse classification and higher spatial resolution of mineral groups than the TIR data.
