ASTER Alteration Mineral Mapping Applied to Exploration Target

Generation; Part of AngloGold JV Area, S. Peru
1. Introduction
Bear Creek Mining Company, (BCMC) having entered into a Joint Venture Agreement
(JV) with AngloGold-Ashanti (Anglo) over the area delineated in figure 1, has received,
from Anglo, a large database of geological, geochemical and remote sensing information
covering the JV area. Although earlier exploration targeting carried out over the JV area
by Anglo had involved the use of combined structural, geologic and remote sensing
targeting (Agar & Coughlin, 2001), the remote sensing aspect of this work had been
carried out in the main using Landsat TM data over pre-selected high priority structural
targets only, leaving possibly significant, lesser ranked and un-selected areas untested
by either image analysis or field evaluation.
The Anglo targeting approach also involved the identification from the air of so called
“fly-over” anomalies that were identified on the basis of their general colour and similarity
to areas affected by hydrothermal alteration. Many of these “fly-over” anomalies fell
outside the selected structural target areas and were thus not evaluated using remote
sensing imagery while still others, possibly for reasons of unfavourable geology or
difficulty of access, were never tested in the field.
Those targets and anomalies that were evaluated in the field include the La Rescatada
property among others that mineralised and hence the programme might be considered
to have been successful. However, the target evaluation approach applied by Anglo
leant heavily on the use of stream sediment geochemistry and on first pass visual
appraisal of the ground. Significantly, the best of the mineralised targets, La Rescatada,
apparently had no geochemical gold anomaly. Thus, as this was one of the basic criteria
used in determining whether a fly-over or remote sensing anomaly was potentially
mineralised and of interest for ongoing exploration, there is a possibility that a number of
valid targets that had been evaluated were rejected erroneously.

As the Anglo evaluation of these anomalies neared completion, a new type of remote
sensing data became available, the Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and
Reflection Radiometer (ASTER). ASTER acquires multi-spectral image data for 15
channels across the visible, near, short wave and thermal infrared wavelengths (table 1).

Compared to Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM), which has been widely used as a basic
tool in exploration targeting and reconnaissance mapping, the visible and near infrared
(VNIR) data have a finer resolution (15 metres), the short wave infrared (SWIR) data at
30m resolution are the same as for Landsat TM bands 5 and 7 but with 6 contiguous
channels over the same wavelength range offer far greater spectral resolution, and the
thermal infrared (TIR) data with 5 channels and a 90m spatial resolution offer greater
spectral and spatial resolution than the single Landsat TM TIR band at 120m (Table 1).
The enhanced spatial and spectral resolution of the ASTER instrument over Landsat TM
takes remote sensing out of the statistical domain of anomaly generation as was the
norm for Landsat data and into the spectral domain and the discrimination of individual
mineral species (figure 2). Whereas Landsat data cannot separate clay alteration
minerals with any confidence, the spectra of common alteration minerals convolved to
the ASTER band specifications show that the absorption wavelength associated with the
three main styles of alteration, argillic, phyllic and propylitic, moves progressively from
2.165 through 2.209 to 2.36m respectively (figure 2).
Furthermore, although alunite and pyrophyllite share a common absorption band

(2.165m) their spectra are different (figure 2). Similarly kaolinite and muscovite both
exhibit absorption at the 2.209m wavelength yet have distinct spectra and the propylitic
alteration minerals such as chlorite, epidote and calcite all have a common absorption
band at 2.36m but equally distinct spectra. Thus, individual minerals may fall into the
same broad absorption bands from which indices of alteration style can be generated
but are sufficiently different in spectral shape to be theoretically mappable (figure 2).
Thus, the ASTER data offered the potential to map the alteration mineralogy of the Anglo
Landsat and “fly-over” anomalies and reassess both their validity and their potential for
hosting significant mineralisation. As a means of assessing the value of ASTER data in
this role, a strip of country extending over the southeastern end of the JV area was
selected for ASTER mineral mapping (figure 1) with the intention of further evaluating the
existing Anglo anomalies and the generating new exploration targets outside of the
structural target areas to which the Landsat data were applied.
2. Processing and Interpreting ASTER data.
2.1 Introduction to ASTER Data
Although a considerable improvement on Landsat TM data, ASTER remains a relatively

coarse resolution sensor. It must be remembered that pixels of ASTER dimensions will
almost invariably be mixed in terms of their mineralogy and so pure mineral spectra are
unlikely. Nevertheless, the spectra for some pixels will be dominated by a single mineral
and should show some close resemblance to the spectrum for that particular mineral.
However, minerals that occur together produce mixed spectra that can appear very
much like another mineral. For example, alunite and kaolinite commonly occur together
and their mixed spectra as convolved to ASTER band positions may look like dickite
(figure 3). Thus like Landsat TM, ASTER also has the capacity to create significant false
mineral zones and care is still required in interpretation of the minerals mapped.
Figure 2; Comparison of Landsat and ASTER spectra of some common alteration minerals.
Fourteen of ASTER’s fifteen bands are collected with the sensor looking vertically
downward (nadir) but the data also contain an additional VNIR band that is acquired
from a rear-looking telescope (Band 3B is Backward-looking, Band 3N is Nadir-looking,

table 1). The two band 3s are useful in providing a perspective view that enables the
data to be viewed as a stereo pair. The data also contain internal ground control points
calculated from the satellite ephemeris that are used to georeference the data and
which, in conjunction with the stereo visualisation and parallax effect, enable the creation
of digital terrain models (DTMs) and ortho-rectification of the spectral image bands which
can be of critical importance in rugged terrain.
Figure 3; Comparison of dickite spectrum convolved to ASTER band specifications (left) with
modelled spectra for various mixtures of kaolinite and alunite. Note the similarity between the
dickite and the 50% kaolinite/alunite mixture (green on right).
ASTER data are provided as either Level 1A (raw) or Level 1B (radiance at the sensor)
data. The former need to be first converted to radiance at the sensor before any
standard processing of the data can commence and this conversion involves the
adjustment of the raw digital values recorded for each band according to variable
instrumental parameters written into the data package.
Radiance at the sensor data comprises the reflectance from the ground plus artefacts
such as energy that is backscattered by particles such as dust or water vapour in the
atmosphere and electronic noise. Thus, in order to convert the data to reflectance so
that they can be compared and used to map materials based upon the similarity of their
reflectance spectra, these artefacts need to be removed.
In ASTER data, the digital number recorded at the sensor is also affected by an energy
“overspill” or “crosstalk” problem between detectors. Energy from ASTER band 4 “leaks”
and affects the digital number being recorded in other bands, most notably bands 5 and
9 (figure 4). Both the “crosstalk” and atmospheric effects need to be corrected for before
converting the data to reflectance.
A further problem has been identified within many ASTER scenes that is manifested by a
band of intermittent bright pixels in processed data such as band ratios and mineral
indices but which is not visible in the raw bands (figure 5; Coulter, 2002).
Figure 4; Schematic representation of the “crosstalk” problem in the ASTER SWIR module
The problem has been ascribed to a permanent scratch in the instrument’s diffraction
grating for the SWIR module causing a distinct change in the signal:noise characteristics
across a certain band of pixels (Watanabe, 2002). There is no correction for this
problem. Furthermore, when mosaicking scenes, spurious pixel values can be generated
along scene boundaries and produce false anomalies or mineral zones. Thus care
should be taken when interpreting alteration that maps in any orbit-parallel array whether
within or marginal to an image strip.
As with all remote sensing work, the efficacy of any data depends to a large extent on
the nature of the terrain being imaged and the signal:noise characteristics of the data.
As a general rule, hyper-arid terrains such as the Atacama Desert of Northern Chile
afford the best climate and geologic exposure for mineral exploration applications.
These data have very high signal:noise characteristics due to the clean dry atmospheric
conditions combined with high soil and rock exposure. Elsewhere, other desert terrains
are also ideal for remote sensing purposes but as one moves into semi-arid and
progressively more humid climes, the amount of vegetation in the region and the
atmospheric humidity both increase.
Furthermore, away from the tropics towards higher latitudes, the sun elevation at the
time of acquisition is lower and hence signal strength also falls. The sun elevation and
atmospheric humidity issues combine to reduce the data quality and the presence of
vegetation, including lichen and mosses, acts to modify mineral spectra to the extent that
the spectra of normally distinct minerals are sufficiently obscured or modified as to be
lost within the general noise and vegetation spectra.
Another factor affecting all spectral data is the presence of water which absorbs so much
of the incoming infrared radiation as to significantly suppress the amount of reflected
energy available to the detector, reducing the amplitude of spectral features and
rendering many normally distinct minerals indistinguishable.

ASTER scene (top left) showing a linear array
of bright pixels not evident in the raw band data
(top right) and a resultant linear array of largely
spurious mineral zones mapped from the data
(bottom left).
Although data may be correctly processed and converted to reflectance, the above
factors and seasonal changes to vegetation conditions can combine to affect the extent
to which minerals can be mapped in different but overlapping images and it is not always
possible to level the mapping of minerals across scene boundaries. Where one scene
has a lower signal, it may bring the threshold values for certain mineral indices into the
levels of noise or, where a mineral spectrum has strong similarities to vegetation, such
as goethite which looks very similar to dry vegetation, there can be quite strong
contrasts to mapped mineral distributions across scene boundaries.
2.2 Processing ASTER Data
ASTER data were sought for the area delineated in figure 1 but unfortunately, complete
coverage was not available but restricted to the areas shown in figure 6.
Figure 6; Mosaic 6-3-1 rgb image of the

ASTER coverage obtained and processed
relative to the map sheets for which
coverage was sought outlined in blue. The
wider BCMC/Anglo JV area is outlined in red.
Level 1A scenes were acquired where no Level 1B coverage existed and all scenes
acquired were less than 10% cloud wherever possible. In the north of the area, some
scenes contained >10% but less than 20% cloud but there were no scenes with less
than 20% cloud for the gaps.
The Level 1A scenes converted to Level 1B before all were used to create a Digital
Elevation Model (DEM) using the AsterDTM ENVI add on software of Sulsoft (Brazil) and
this same DEM was in turn used to ortho-correct each of the image bands. Scenes that
were acquired on the same day as part of a single data capture were then mosaicked
together and treated as a single image strip for subsequent processing.
The atmospheric backscatter component is greatest at shorter wavelengths and most

pronounced for ASTER data in band 1, diminishing exponentially to be insignificant in
the SWIR bands. The effect is very significant however in the VNIR bands where the
spectra for the iron oxide minerals are separated from vegetation and each other by the
relationship between bands 1, 2 and 3 where, for the iron minerals, band 1 is
consistently low relative to bands 2 and 3 and a critical slope change occurs at band 2
which signifies vegetation. If the backscatter is not corrected, band 1 will be artificially
high and result in fewer iron minerals being mapped.
Bodies of water typically have a very flat spectrum in the VNIR and the response over
known water bodies was used here to generate a spectrum representing the
atmospheric backscatter that was subsequently removed from every pixel. As a check,
pixels over obvious vegetation were checked in the corrected data to confirm that their
spectra were showing band 1 (natural green) higher than band 2 (natural red).
Similarly, the “cross-talk” problem in the SWIR bands was removed using a spectral
unmixing technique in RASTUS software to identify the “cross-talk” spectrum and
remove it from each pixel in turn. Unless removed, “cross-talk” will record artificially high
values in bands 5 and 9, diminishing apparent absorption in band 5 thereby reducing the
potential for mapping alunite and pyrophyllite; increase the apparent absorption in band
6 thereby increasing the amount of kaolinite, and white micas (e.g. sericite, illite,
phengite) mapped and increase the apparent absorption in band 8 thereby mapping
chlorite, epidote and calcite more widely than it should (figure 2).
Once these corrections to the radiance data had been carried out, the data were then
converted to reflectance using the “log residual” normalisation technique (Green & Craig,
1985) in RASTUS software. From these reflectance data, mineral indices were prepared
and analysed separately for each constituent scene or data capture series. Indices were
prepared for the suite of minerals using the methodology as listed in table 2.
The minerals selected are typical of those found in a variety of mineralised hydrothermal
and metasomatic (skarn-type) systems and the reference spectra are taken from the
USGS spectral library available in ENVI software and convolved to the ASTER band
positions. The suffix number of each reference spectrum is that from the USGS
reference library.
Two muscovite or phyllic alteration mineral indices were created in an attempt to map
any variability in muscovite mineralogy from high AlOH variants (referred hereinafter as
sericite) to low-AlOH (more MgOH, FeOH bearing and referred to hereinafter as
phengite). The wavelength position of the maximum absorption in muscovite minerals is
known to be controlled by the mineral chemistry and to range from 2194nm for high
AlOH up to 2219nm for the low AlOH (figure 7a). Although the ASTER data cannot map
such a wavelength shift in the absorption band, the ASTER spectra do show a variation
in the shape of the absorption band at 2209nm (Figure 7b) proportional to the value of
the band ratio 7/5 which can therefore be used to map this sericite –phengite continuum.
A phyllic index was created using simple band ratios to select only pixels that had a
phyllic absorption feature at band 6 and the ratio 7/5 was used to provide a proxy
numerical index of the wavelength position, higher values to the high- AlOH/low
wavelength end of the continuum such that high-AlOH minerals would have values >1
and low AlOH <1 in this index (figure 7 and table 2).
The spectral feature fit (SFF) routine in ENVI software uses a least-squares fit approach
to measure the closeness of fit between an image or pixel spectrum with a reference
spectrum (Clark et al., 1990) and is directly proportional to the depth of the spectral
feature and mineral abundance. This method was used to create indices for alteration
minerals with spectral features in the SWIR because the method is direct although it is
reputedly more sensitive to illumination, albedo and aspect effects than other methods.

The SFF routine is used in conjunction with masks generated using arguments based
upon band ratio properties to define only those pixels with spectra approximating the
reference to reduce noise and false positives (table 2).
A matched filter (MF) routine also in ENVI is a rapid partial unmixing process that
focuses on and maximises values where there is a match and suppresses the response
for the composite unknown background. It works well and is used for the VNIR, where
the spectra are simple (3 bands), and in the TIR but gives inconsistent results and is
thus not used for the SWIR minerals. However, in both the VNIR and the TIR, the MF
routine is again used in close conjunction with band ratios to eliminate possible false
positives. The band ratio masking algorithms for the VNIR and SWIR are derived from
USGS reference mineral spectra and those in the TIR derived from mineral emission
spectra taken from the John Hopkins Spectral Library in ENVI.
An alternative approach, the Spectral Angle Mapper (SAM) method developed in ENVI
software from the work of Kruse and others (1993), measures the angular difference
between the image spectrum and the reference spectrum but produces an inverted
image in which the lowest values represent the closest match. In this author’s
experience, the method has given inconsistent results for many minerals and is used
only in instances where the albedo and aspect effects preclude use of SFF.
With the exception of the FeOx, goethite, jarosite-vnir, haematite, AlOH, advanced
argillic, argillic, phyllic, propylitic, carbonate, SiO2, garnet and CO3 indices, which were
generated using band ratio values as constraints (table 2), thresholds were determined
for each mineral index by first filtering pixels according to the band ratio constraints listed
in table 2 before visually comparing the remaining pixel spectra against a reference
spectrum using a simple density slice routine to highlight the different index levels.
Where the top pixel values for the index of any mineral did not exhibit characteristic or
diagnostic spectral features of that mineral, the mineral was omitted from the final
output.
Where a threshold could be determined, only those pixels with index values greater than
the threshold were preserved and ultimately used to create the full regional mosaic
index. This image was saved as the final index for that mineral and a region of interest
created from the index marking those pixels assigned to that mineral in a specific colour.
The index was then filtered using a combination of closing and median filters to
consolidate clustered pixels into zones and eliminate outliers or noise. These pixels were
also defined as a colour coded smoothed region of interest and saved together for final
output visualisation. The filtered index image was finally exported as both a vector file
delineating the smoothed occurrence boundaries for each mineral and as a pseudo-
colour raster image draped over albedo to show variation in intensity for each mineral.
The regions of interest, both individual pixel and filtered, were individually displayed on a
greyscale albedo background so as to provide an overview of the distribution of the
various alteration minerals. Unfortunately, in ENVI software, later created regions of
interest overprint the earlier ones where they overlap. This is not an issue for the
alteration minerals in the SWIR because the way in which the regions are generated
means they would not overlap or only minimally overlap. However, the iron oxide and
silica regions, being created in the VNIR and TIR data respectively can and do overlap
the other minerals. Thus care should be taken in interpreting the region of interest
output image.
Alteration style indices produced for FeOx (ferruginisation) SiO2 (silicification), advanced
argillic, argillic, phyllic, propylitic and carbonate were also saved as both pixel regions of
interest mapping all possible pixels with appropriate characteristics and as filtered
regions of interest. The output for all alteration style indices were smoothed and filtered
as for the individual mineral indices and both region of interest images, intensity images
and vector outputs prepared.
Some indices map very extensively. Garnet for example maps more widely than would
be anticipated due to its spectral similarity to mafic rocks. For this reason, the garnet
index is further thresholded at the 97% probability level so as to map only the top 3% of
the possible pixels. Haematite also maps very widely because it lies spectrally between
goethite and jarosite end members. For this reason, the Matched Filter index for
haematite is unreliable and the FeOx index is used instead. Haematite is therefore more
of an indication of iron enrichment that cannot be attributed to either goethite or jarosite.
Because it also maps extensively, it is also thresholded at the 97% probability level.
The outline boundary vectors for each mineral and alteration style were imported into
MapInfo and can be visualised either individually or collectively. The advantage here is
that where overlaps occur, the ornament allows that overlap to be noted and some idea
of the total mineral assemblage can be generated. These vector files can be attributed
in such a way as to permit interactive interrogation of the ASTER output data with other
data sets in a GIS.
Other output includes standard ER Mapper files for 2-3-1 (rgb); 6-3-1 (rgb); 5-6-8 (rgb),
albedo, a RGB combination of FeOx, AlOH, and SiO2 indices (FAS), as well as pseudo-
colour images showing the variation in intensity for each mineral identified. The 2-3-1
(rgb) image is a simulated true colour image whereas the 6-3-1 RGB image is an ASTER
equivalent of the standard Landsat 7-4-1 (rgb) image product and can be interpreted
similarly. The 5-6-8 (rgb) image however shows alteration styles of advanced argillic in
blue tones, argillic and phyllic in pink-red tones and propylitic in yellow-green tones. The
FAS (FeOx-AlOH-SiO2) (rgb) image shows iron rich areas in red, hydrothermally altered
areas in green and silicified zones in blue. Combined iron-clay anomalism is yellow in
colour, iron-silica magenta, clay-silica cyan, and all three combined is white.
Furthermore, a Digital Elevation Model (DEM) was produced for the granule and from
this both greyscale and pseudocolour shaded relief images created and exported into
MapInfo. All output images have been compressed using the ER Mapper ECW
compression and subsequently imported into MapInfo for display with the vector files as
a single MapInfo workspace.
In addition to a regional mosaic compiled from the results for all image strips,
workspaces and output for each if the individual strips were also compiled.
2.3 Interpreting ASTER Data
The quality and reliability of the resultant mineral distribution maps can only be judged
against accurate field observations and mapping. However, some observations with
regard to the output products are relevant.
As noted above, pixels of these dimensions will almost invariably be mixed in terms of
their contents and so pure mineral spectra are unlikely. Where a mineral has been
mapped, the mineral mapping in this study assumes that the pixel spectrum represents a
single mineral. However, minerals occurring together produce mixed spectra that can
appear very much like another mineral. For example, an equal mix of kaolinite and
alunite appears spectrally like dickite in the ASTER band configuration (figure 3).
The nature in which certain alteration minerals occur should always be taken into
consideration. For example, in hydrothermal settings, pyrophyllite and dickite typically
occur in narrow veins and are unlikely to spectrally dominate a wide zone of 30m ASTER
pixels. Thus, indications of their presence might represent a mixture of other more
common minerals.
Additionally, although the reference spectra used for the mineral mapping are those of
hydrothermal alteration minerals, some are very similar to a host of other minerals that
may also be present. For example, the phyllic minerals mapped as sericite or high-AlOH
phyllic and those mapped as phengite or low-AlOH phyllic are in a spectral continuum
that includes muscovites, illites, and montmorillonites, all of which are practically
indistinguishable at this spectral resolution (figure 5).
Similarly, although chlorite and epidote are used for the propylitic minerals, it is important
to remember that the propylitic mineral spectra will also likely capture occurrences of
high-MgOH clays derived from mafic rocks. Thus, the minerals mapped should be
viewed in their broadest context and not as absolute or perfect examples of those
minerals.
Thus, care must always be taken when interpreting the mineral map and the indicated
presence of a particular mineral should be viewed in the context of its spatial coherence,
the minerals mapped in close association with it as well as its 3-dimensional distribution.
When identifying and characterising alteration zones and systems, associations of the
more common alteration minerals are more likely to be indicative of the alteration facies
and zones of the rarer minerals viewed more positively if they are indeed narrow and in
keeping with their known mode of occurrence. Alteration minerals that map in coherent
zones that are 3-dimensionally consistent with known or conceptual alteration systems
will usually be more significant than those which occur either in isolation or in rare or
obscure associations.

range of phyllic minerals showing their overall similarity
and hence likelihood for being mapped together
The iron oxide minerals mapped specifically are goethite, haematite and jarosite. The
spectral variability of hematite falls within the range of both goethite and jarosite and as
such is difficult to map as a specific index. By creating a total FeOx index as applied
here, haematite falls within the area not covered by either goethite or jarosite. However,
it must be noted also that mixtures of both goethite and jarosite can produce the same
spectral shape as haematite and so the mapped distribution of haematite outside the
goethite and jarosite end-members should be treated as mixed iron oxides and/or
haematite. Goethite and jarosite usually map more discretely and are more likely to be
representative of ferruginisation associated with mineralisation. However, the more
intense zones of the haematite_97 index might also represent ferruginisation.
The jarosite index generated using the SWIR does not always match that of jarosite
using the VNIR bands. This is not unusual in so much as the spectral absorption feature
for jarosite in the SWIR is often subdued in the presence of other alteration minerals
such as alunite and sericite that have much stronger absorption features and a higher
overall brightness. Furthermore, the jarosite typically occurs on fracture surfaces and is
not exposed to the sensor across the full area of the pixel.
A combination of opaline silica and jarosite is quite common in reality and also frequently
indicated within ASTER imagery. This may be a real association but care must be
exercised in interpreting such associations because the spectral absorption features for
both minerals are at the same wavelength and each mineral would score highly in the
index for the other, thus, the association may be artificial. Furthermore, where jarosite
and/or opaline silica are present with other minerals such as alunite or any of the phyllic
minerals, their reflectance and overall strength of spectral features are such that the
diagnostic jarosite and opal features are likely to be lost or at best subdued.
Problems with the ASTER data themselves can impact on the way minerals map. The
advanced argillic minerals such as alunite and pyrophyllite can be lost due to the energy
over-spill or “crosstalk” problem within ASTER band 4 while chlorite, epidote and calcite
can map more widely (see above).
Another problem identified in ASTER data concerns instability in the detector for band 4
which can give wide fluctuations in the values for that wavelength, impacting upon the
slope between bands 4 and 5 in the spectrum so that absorption is consistently mapped
at band 5. Thus, where both pyrophyllite and alunite map more widely than might
normally be expected it could be due to this instability problem. Bands 8 and 9 also
frequently appear to have anomalously high values and may need to be adjusted by
applying a gain factor. When left unadjusted, the abnormally high values in either of
these bands can impact greatly on how all minerals map.
Additionally, many minerals share an absorption band with certain vegetation species
and care should be taken when interpreting mapped mineral zones that have a greenish
colour in the 6-3-1 (rgb) and 2-3-1 (rgb) reference images. Where this problem is
widespread, it may be necessary to remove the vegetation by masking or attempting to
unmix the vegetation and mineral spectra using any of a number of unmixing algorithms.
However, the successful unmixing of vegetation spectra depends upon accurate and
usually multiple vegetation species and spectra being identified within the data and,
although this routine may work with hyperspectral data is less likely to work with data of
ASTER’s spectral resolution.
All mineral indices, but especially those of the phyllic minerals, can have conflicts with
areas of water, cloud, snow and ice but these can easily be recognised when interpreting
the data by checking the output against the 6-3-1 (rgb) and 2-3-1 (rgb) reference
images. Both very commonly map to areas of deep shadow in scenes with high albedo
contrast due to the “crosstalk” effect and care should be exercised in interpreting such
zones.
The advanced argillic, argillic and phyllic minerals commonly map extensively along the
northern shores of water bodies. The cause of this phenomenon is not clear but may be
a similar effect to the harmonic “crosstalk” effects noted above or may be due to other
factors such as an increase in humidity local to large water bodies. In any event, the
phenomenon should be noted and caution taken in drawing any significance from such
mapped mineral zones.
The propylitic and calc-silicate minerals are typically dark and relatively low in overall
reflectance by comparison with other minerals being mapped. Frequently they map to
areas of shadow and caution should be exercised in interpreting any areas identified as
being of these minerals that are in significant shadow. They are also often in conflict
with vegetation and once again care should be exercised in interpreting areas indicated
as being propylitic or calc-silicate minerals that are also green in the 6-3-1 (rgb) or 2-3-1
(rgb) reference images.
Garnet is mapped using the TIR bands and usually maps much more widely than would
be expected, probably due to the presence of mafic within the area covered by the
scene. Mafic and carbonate rocks have a similar thermal emission spectrum and hence
skarn alteration should be interpreted only where garnet is indicated in conjunction with
carbonate and calc-silicate minerals.
3. ASTER Data Analysis and Exploration Targeting
Without access or reference to existing published geological data or field verification,

analysis of these ASTER data at this stage can only be general and in terms of degrees
of confidence in the output based upon the geological coherence of the mapped
minerals and alteration styles with respect to one another and to other features such as
geology, stratigraphy, structural features such as lineaments, faults or fractures, and
topography.
Thus, the alteration minerals as mapped were firstly reviewed at a scale of 1:50,000 with
the intention of identifying zones where there appeared to be a coherent pattern of
alteration styles and mineralogy that could be interpreted in terms of the underlying
geology, structure and terrain. The alteration mineralogy was viewed over both the
appropriate scanned Ingemmet 1:100,000 geologic map sheet as well as in the
structural framework or finite geologic fabric generated for Anglo by Coughlin and
included in the database.
In analysing the mapped mineralogy for potential exploration targets, characteristic

hydrothermal mineral associations have been sought such as zoned associations of
advanced argillic, argillic, phyllic, silicic, carbonate and propylitic alteration with the
presence of iron minerals that may represent possible gossan. Alteration targeting has
also focussed on the disposition of both individual mineral zones and styles with linear
arrays of alteration minerals or styles associated with particular fractures or lineaments
or with zones spatially related to intrusive rocks ranked more highly.
Targets were identified and ranked according to their indicated alteration mineralogy with
a score of 0.5 allocated for the presence of an alteration style such as argillic plus 0.5 for
the indication of a specific mineral of that style such as kaolinite up to a maximum of 6.
Carbonate and propylitic styles for example are often seen peripheral to other zones and
can represent either an alteration halo or the background lithology. Also, they are
spectrally very similar and so are treated as one unless the alteration style indicated
suggests it may be calc-silicate/skarn type mineralisation when they would be
considered and scored separately.
Added to the basic score assigned for the alteration styles and minerals indicated would
be a value of 1 for a clear zonation from high-temperature to low temperature alteration
facies or a spatial relationship with an intrusive. The structural setting was scored
according to the target’s location relative to the porphyry/epithermal model in which foci
of intrusive and hydrothermal activity are considered to be related to Linked Fault
Complexes (LFC’s) where the N-S (N) and SE-NW (SE) lineament trends are
transpressional and NE-SW (NE) fractures are extensional (figure 8; Coughlin &
O’Sullivan, 1998; Coughlin & Holcombe, 1999, Agar & Coughlin, 2001).
Linked Fault Complexes were identified by the intersection of strong N and SE
transpressional lineaments identified either in the Anglo database or from the imagery.
Other criteria include the presence of uplifted basement observed in the geologic maps
of the area or arcuate zones of high ground extending from N through to SE trends
identified in the DEM. These LFCs were mapped into the MapInfo workspace and used
to assist in the interpretation and evaluation. For each LFC, the footwall is defined as the
convex side of the mapped zone and the hanging wall the diagonal side. The target
ranking procedure scored 0.5 for each lineament direction represented in a target up to a
maximum of 3 lineaments but double when the target was located in or associated with
an identifiable LFC. Thus the maximum ranking score for any target would be 10.
Figure 8; Dynamics of Andean compression and Linked Fault Complex strain and fluid flow (after
Coughlin & Holcombe, 1999).
Alteration targets so identified are listed in Appendix 1 and described in terms of their
known geology and their structural setting. A shorthand has been applied as follows:-
Aa = Advance argillic with minerals al = alunite, py = pyrophyllite
Ar = Argillic with minerals ka = kaolinite, di = dickite
Ph = Phyllic with minerals se = sericite, ph = phengite
Pr = Propylitic with minerals ch = chlorite, ep = epidote
Ca = Carbonate with minerals ca = calcite, do = dolomite

Si = silica with mineral op = opaline silica
Fe = Iron with minerals ja = jarosite, go = goethite, he = haematite.
Structural criteria are described as Linked Fault Complex (LFC); hanging wall (hw);
footwall (fw); N-S lineament (N); SE-NW lineament (SE) and NE-SW lineament (NE).
Other lineament directions are described simply as their orientation between N and S.
Geological settings are described in terms of host rocks as given by the relevant
Ingemmet 1:100,000-scale geologic map. Unfortunately, the time and space plot for this
region as defined by Coughlin & Agar (2000) is not included in the report and thus the
stratigraphic constraints on mineralisation have not been taken into account.
Where geochemical information is available, this has also been noted but it must be
pointed out that this is available only for those ASTER generated targets that were also
identified as anomalies and evaluated in the previous Landsat/”fly-over” driven
programme.
In the course of the review of ASTER generated alteration mineralogy, the earlier
Landsat TM and “fly-over” anomalies were also reviewed in the light of the ASTER
indicated alteration mineralogy. Although many of these anomalies had been evaluated,
the MapInfo database carried no description of the anomaly either in terms of its reason
for being, its geology, setting, or field aspects. Although many of those evaluated were
the subject of reports included in the database supplied by Anglo, many were evaluated
and had no report and all were subject to recommendations with no apparent
consideration of their geochemistry. None of the Anglo reports show the results of
assays.
At this point, it is worthwhile considering just what might be the significance of the
geochemical data collected by Anglo in their evaluation of these anomalies. As noted
above, the work leant heavily on stream sediment geochemistry yet, for La Rescatada,
there was apparently no stream sediment gold geochemical anomaly which begs the
question “what does constitute a geochemical anomaly?” in a dataset where all of the
samples have been collected from sites which are in themselves already deemed to be
anomalous. No background geochemical levels have been established nor sampled.
For the purpose of this study, stream sediment geochemical data are still considered to
be the most reliable geochemical indicator of whether or not an anomaly or ASTER
alteration target is likely to carry mineralisation. However, in order to determine what
might constitute a geochemical anomaly, the stream sediment data were analysed
statistically in order to attempt to identify levels of anomalism. Data for Au, Ag, As, Cu,
Pg, Zn, Hg, Bi and Sb (being the suite of elements most likely to be indicators of
precious metal mineralisation) were treated as follows:-
a) Values below level of detection were set to 0

b) The assay value threshold below which fall 97% of the samples was determined
and the top 3% of values re-assigned with the threshold assay value.
c) The new mean (M) value and standard deviation (SD) were calculated
d) Assay values > M +1 SD were mapped as anomalous and > M but < M +1 SD
were mapped as weakly anomalous
While not being ideal, the above method should identify the more anomalous values in
an already anomalous data set and will provide at least some form of yardstick against
which to measure and evaluate the anomalies and ASTER targets where data is
available. It is encouraging to note that this method identifies known mineralisation at La
Rescatada, Pichacani and Corani among others (figure 9) adding weight to the
recommendations made with respect to the original anomalies listed in Appendix 2.
In terms of alteration mineralogy and the ranking of the ASTER targets, it is also
reassuring to note that targets over known mineralisation, such as at Pichacani, score
the highest value without there having been any consideration of geochemistry and that
when shown together, the geochemistry relates spatially to the mapped alteration (figure
10). Thus, these targets can now be themselves further prioritised for field follow-up or
revision on the basis of existing or new geochemical data.

sediments showing anomalous as large yellow circles, weakly anomalous as small yellow circles
and below average values as small triangles.
5. Conclusions & Recommendations
The ASTER alteration mineral mapping has identified a number of exploration targets
that have been ranked according to their alteration characteristics, geology and
structural setting.
The top ranking targets include those known anomalies generated in previous work by
Anglo that were found to be mineralised and hence the mineral mapping and targeting
rationale can be considered to be valid.
Figure 10; Alteration mineralogy mapped using ASTER over Pichacani (Anglo claims 133 to 136);
Anomalies PAR_33V_9 and 10 and ASTER alteration target 33_V_BA_01
Previous geochemical assessment of existing Landsat and “fly-over” anomalies by Anglo

was flawed in so much as recommendations were often made before assay results were
obtained and it is not known whether there was any systematic review of the
geochemical data once all assays for all anomalies were received.
Furthermore, as the sampling was carried out on ground that was already anomalous in
terms of its mineralogy, no consideration was given to establishing background or
threshold values and the best mineralisation in the region apparently had no
geochemical Au anomaly in streams.
A simple statistical approach used here however does pick out such mineralised areas
as being anomalous in their stream geochemistry and appears to be consistent in
recognising genuine anomalies where alteration and mineralisation was recognised in
the field evaluation and hence can be considered to be useful in further evaluating the
new targets generated from the ASTER data.
The ASTER alteration targets should be evaluated in the field according to the order in
which they are ranked and their potential considered using stream sediment
geochemistry coupled with an assessment of the alteration in terms of the type of
mineralised system it may represent, its current level of exposure and thus, the likely
geochemical signature. The age of the host rocks should also be reviewed in the light of
the time and space constraints developed by Coughlin & Agar (2000).
Similarly, those anomalies previously evaluated and those previously not assessed but,
in the light of the ASTER mineral mapping, now recommended for revision or evaluation
respectively should also be field checked and geochemically tested.
Once field evaluation of the higher-ranking targets is complete, consideration should be

given to continuing the re-evaluation of the remainder of the Anglo database using
ASTER mineral mapping in the manner applied here.
