Hyperspectral Mineral Classification of the Orange Hill Deposit
By Spectroscopy Lab
2014 (approx.)
Detailed Description
Outcrop mineral classification map of the western side of the Orange Hill porphyry copper deposit. This mineral map was generated from data collected using a HySpexTM spectrometer. Note the different colors that indicate a predominance of clays, muscovite, and gypsum (likely related to porphyry mineralization) across the hillside. Data collected at 30-centimeter spatial resolution. Credit: USGS
