Gold prospectivity mapping through generation and integration of geophysical, geochemical, remote sensing and geological evidence layers in Saqez area, NW Iran

This study serves to demonstrate the application of geophysical data interpretation in order to recognize the structural features related to the mineralization. The aforementioned structures generate the evidence layers, which undergo augmentation and enhancement processes. This results in the production of evidence layers that, when integrated with other geo-exploration evidence layers, contribute to the delineation of mineral exploration targets with increased reliability. In this study, the utilization of aeromagnetic and radiometric data is illustrated for the recognition of structural features and host rocks associated with orogenic gold mineral systems. Furthermore, the integration of geophysical data interpretation, specifically the identification of mineralization-related features, with alterations and the geochemical signature of mineralization is demonstrated. This integration facilitates the delimitation of exploration targets with improved dependability.
