Synergistic Approach to Evaluate the Mineral resources in and around Kajali Dongari village Jhabua District M P India

Abstract

Mineral exploration and geological mapping through conventional geological techniques are tedious, expensive and time-consuming. These techniques need a strong laboratory database to discern slight variation in composition of ore grades. With the advent of multispectral sensors lithological discrimination mineral potential mapping were possible from space/airborne platforms. However, detailed understanding on precise mineral composition and relative abundance of constituents within Field of View (FOV) was not possible with these data due to coarse bandwidth and poor spectral contiguity. When spectroscopy, radiometry and imaging techniques were bundled as imaging spectroscopy, limitations of multispectral remote sensing were overcome. newlineThe Hyperspectral sensors are capable of acquiring images in 100 200 contiguous spectral bands. Due to this ability to acquire laboratory-like spectra from an air/space borne sensor Hyperspectral sensors provide a unique combination of both spatially and spectrally contiguous images that allow precise identification of minerals. The use of radar images in geological surveys is a well-established procedure, and has been employed in several studies in the moist tropics, such as integrated, multisource data procedures, monoscopic and stereoscopic visual analysis, and digital classification based on textural attributes. While as Multispectral remote sensing is defined as the collection of reflected, emitted, or backscattered energy from an object or area of interest in multiple bands (regions) of the electromagnetic spectrum. newlineThe study area is in an and around Kajali Dongari village, which is located in Jhabua district of Madhya Pradesh. It is in the north western part of the Jhabua District of Madhya Pradesh. Jhabua is Study area is located between Longitude 74°24 17.97 to 74°31 9.41 E and Latitude 23°4 4.89 to 22°53 23.99 N. The Study area covers total an area of 147.84 Sq.km. and Survey of India toposheet No. 46J/5, 46 I/8 and 46 I/12.
