Application of Remote Sensing to Identify Cataclasite and Metasomatite Zones of the Uvat Ore Cluster (Eastern Sayan)

Resumo

Decoded materials from the Russian Resurs-P satellite (Geoton) space survey in the visible and infrared (IR) ranges have made it possible to identify crushing zones and faults of the northeastern, sublatitudinal, and submeridional strike, determining the structural position of uranium mineralization within the Uvat ore cluster in the Eastern Sayan. The use of high-resolution multizonal satellite imagery (3 m) to identify metasomatically altered ore-bearing rocks in the carbonate-terrigenous sediments of the Lower Proterozoic and Riphean-Paleozoic has been proven possible.
