Abstract:
The studied area is located in east of Bajestan Township, Khorasan Razavi Province and this region is a part of the Lut Block. Granite is the mostimportant rock in this area with covering approximately 70km2. Processing of satellite data in this area was done by using of SPOT, ASTER and Landsat ETM+ data. SPOT images processing and using PCA methods (standard and selective) on the ETM+ data show this intrusive body doesn’t have an equal chemical composition. The central part of the intrusive body has distinctive from margin and it seems that the central part have more mafic mineral. For enhancing linear structure, high pass, directional, threshold and sobel filters were applied separately and compositional on the SPOT data. By using these filters linear structures became completely obvious and were vectorized digitally. The most of them show northwestern-southeastern trend. ASTER data processing by spectral angle mapper (SAM), band ratio and band composition methods enhanced epidote, sericite, hematite, argilic and silicified alterations. Processing and Interpretation of airborne geophysical data (potassium, thorium, uranium and total magnetic intensity), which collected by airplane show the amounts of these triple elements (K,U,Th) are high and in vice versa Total Magnetic Intensity data (TMI) is low in this granite. Separating geological boundaries and enhancing major faults are other results from processing of geophysics data. Merging all of the data consist of: satellite and geophysics data processing and field research indicate alteration zones have relation to linear structures in this area. This research specifies the most probability of mineralization presence in this area so that Fe and Cu mineralization conform to epidotic-chloritic and argilic alterations. Introducing favorable area can help us to concentrate exploration activities and next researches in this area and prevent wasting money and time.
