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无法提供足够的细节来支持加拿大北部的矿产勘探活动以及调查经济金属矿床的成因。如果没有准确和详细的地图，加拿大就无法：i) 识别对我们经济重要的矿藏并提高对北部地区的地质了解，ii) 制定适当的政策来开发这些资源，以及 iii) 为加拿大提供经济发展选择行业。 该提案将解决使用光谱成像对详细地图信息的需求，以开发绘制岩石和矿物分布图的预测能力。作为起点，重点将放在钻芯样本分析上，旨在发展矿物估算能力。长期目标是将这些能力转移到机载和卫星成像中以进行区域调查。
