Abstract

The differentiated Bushveld Complex (the Republic of South Africa) has been studied on the basis of remote space and gravity-magnetic surveying. This article demonstrates the possibility of using Landsat 7 ETM+ multispectral space surveys and brightness parameters to predict platinum mineralization in new promising areas. Analysis of the gravitational field has shown that platinum mineralization in the studied area is concentrated in a rather narrow range of values, which enables one to use these data as a prospecting indicator. The main conclusions were made and the ability of Landsat 7 ETM+ multispectral space surveys to forecast platinum mineralization in new promising areas was demonstrated. These studies demonstrated the efficiency of integrated remote (space and geophysical) methods for the improvement of the approach to prospecting for platinum–copper–nickel mineralization.

基于Bushveld矿东段研究的遥感作为预测铂金矿化的一种方法

摘要

在偏远空间和重力电磁测量的基础上，对差异化的布什维尔德综合体（南非共和国）进行了研究。本文演示了使用Landsat 7 ETM +多光谱空间调查和亮度参数来预测新的有希望的地区中铂矿化的可能性。对重力场的分析表明，研究区域内的铂矿化集中在相当窄的数值范围内，这使人们可以将这些数据用作勘探指标。得出了主要结论，并证明了Landsat 7 ETM +多光谱空间调查能够预测新的有希望地区的铂矿化的能力。
