Regional maps of rock and mineral distribution typically do not convey sufficient detail to support mineral exploration activities in the Canadian North as well as to investigate the genesis of economic metal deposits. Without accurate and detailed maps, Canada is unable to: i) identify mineral deposits important to our economy and improve the geological understanding of Northern regions, ii) develop adequate policies for the exploitation of these resources, and iii) provide economical development options for Canadian industry. This proposal will address the need for detailed map information using spectral imaging to develop a predictive capability to maps rock and mineral distribution. As a starting point, focus will be on the analysis of drill core samples with the aim to develop the mineral estimation capability. A long term aim is to transfer these capabilities to airborne and satellite imaging for regional investigations.

岩石和矿物分布的区域地图通常不会传达足够的细节来支持加拿大北部的矿物勘探活动，并研究经济金属沉积物的起源。没有准确和详细的地图，加拿大无法：i）确定对我们经济重要重要的矿藏，并改善对北部地区的地质理解，ii）制定足够的政策来利用这些资源，iii）为加拿大工业提供经济发展方案。 该提案将使用光谱成像来满足对详细的地图信息的需求，以开发映射岩石和矿物分布的预测能力。作为起点，重点将放在钻芯样品的分析上，目的是开发矿物估计能力。长期的目的是将这些功能转移到空降和卫星成像中进行区域调查。
