Mapping Lithological Units of an Evaporite Formation using ASTER data: a Case Study from Zagros Fold Belt, SW Iran

Khadijeh Validabadi Bozcheloei; Majid Hashemi Tangestani

Volume 15, Issue 2 , April 2024, , Pages 637-648

https://doi.org/10.22044/jme.2023.13629.2518

Abstract
  Evaporites are sediments that chemically precipitate due to the evaporation of an aqueous solution. Most evaporite formations, in addition to evaporite minerals, include detrital rocks such as mudstone, marl, and siltstone. Principal Component Analysis (PCA), Directed Principal Component Analysis (DPCA), ...  Read More

Hossein Mahdiyanfar; Mirmahdi Seyedrahimi-Niaraq

Volume 14, Issue 3 , July 2023, , Pages 1019-1035

https://doi.org/10.22044/jme.2023.13227.2424

Abstract
  The primary purpose of this investigation is contamination mapping in surrounding areas of Irankuh Pb–Zn mine, located in central Iran, using an integrated approach of principal component analysis (PCA) with the Concentration-Area (C-A) and Power Spectrum-Area (S-A) fractal models. PCA categorized ...  Read More

Detection of Mo geochemical anomaly in depth using a new scenario based on spectrum–area fractal analysis

H. Mahdiyanfar

Volume 10, Issue 3 , July 2019, , Pages 695-704

https://doi.org/10.22044/jme.2019.7944.1662

Abstract
  Detection of deep and hidden mineralization using the surface geochemical data is a challenging subject in the mineral exploration. In this work, a novel scenario based on the spectrum–area fractal analysis (SAFA) and the principal component analysis (PCA) has been applied to distinguish and delineate ...  Read More

Hydrothermal alterations mapping using Quickbird and Landsat-8 data, a case study from Babbiduyeh, Kerman province, Iran

H. Aryanmehr; M. Hosseinjanizadeh; M. Honarmand; F. Naser

Volume 9, Issue 1 , January 2018, , Pages 41-52

https://doi.org/10.22044/jme.2017.5522.1364

Abstract
  In this work, we focus on investigating the Quickbird and Landsat-8 datasets for mapping hydrothermal and gossans alterations in reconnaissance porphyry copper mineralization in the Babbiduyeh area. This area is situated in the Central Iranian Volcano-sedimentary Complex, where large copper deposits ...  Read More

Prediction of dispersed mineralization zone in depth using frequency domain of surface geochemical data

H. Shahi

Volume 8, Issue 3 , July 2017, , Pages 433-446

https://doi.org/10.22044/jme.2017.912

Abstract
  Discrimination of the blind and dispersed mineralization deposits is a challenging problem in geochemical exploration. The frequency domain (FD) of the surface geochemical data can solve this important issue. This new exploratory information can be achieved using the interpretation of FD of geochemical ...  Read More

Prediction of mineral deposit model and identification of mineralization trend in depth using frequency domain of surface geochemical data in Dalli Cu-Au porphyry deposit

H. Shahi; R. Ghavami Riabi; A. Kamkar Ruhani; H. Asadi Haroni

Volume 6, Issue 2 , July 2015, , Pages 225-236

https://doi.org/10.22044/jme.2015.458

Abstract
  In this research work, the frequency domain (FD) of surface geochemical data was analyzed to decompose the complex geochemical patterns related to different depths of the mineral deposit. In order to predict the variation in mineralization in the depth and identify the deep geochemical anomalies and ...  Read More
