Detection of high potential gold mineralization areas using Landsat 8 data in Northeastern Sudan
This investigation used Landsat 8 data for mapping lithological units and alteration zones to detect high potential areas for gold mineralization in Red Sea Hills in Sudan part of the Arabian-Nubian Shield (ANS). The study area contains three gold mines part of Ariab mining district in Red Sea Hills...
