Abstract
In this chapter, an overview is given on a conceptual basis of different applications of hyperspectral data for mineral exploration. The narrow and contiguous spectral bands of hyperspectral sensors can detect to detect the diagnostic absorption signatures of different minerals and rocks. Many surface proxies (alteration zone, caprock of mineralization, etc.) of concealed or covered mineral deposits formed under different ore genetic processes are constituted of spectrally distinguishable minerals and these minerals are discriminable using narrowband hyperspectral data. ...
