Application of space imagery to the identification and geological-geophysical study of hidden plutons in early Proterozoic troughs
Abstract
Space imagery was used to identify and examine hidden plutons in the early Proterozoic troughs of the central Kursk Magnetic Anomaly. It is shown that intersections of faults identified on space images are related to sulfide mineralization. It is noted that the method used can be applied to mineral prospecting in the sedimentary cover basement.
