The use of space survey materials Resurs-P, Canopus-PSS, ASTER and LANDSAT for forecasting uranium-molybdenum and chromite-platinum mineralization in the Polar Urals

Methods of complex analysis of the results of space, gravimetric and magnetometric surveys for localization of ore-promising sites in the Polar Urals within the nomenclature sheets R-42, Q-42 have been developed. When decoding the materials of multi-zone satellite imagery of medium (ASTER, Landsat) and high (Canopus-PSS, Resurs-P) resolution, linear, arc and ring structural elements controlling the localization of uranium-molybdenum and chromite-platinum mineralization of the Polar Urals were revealed. The decoding of zones of metasomatically altered rocks in various spectral IR channels made it possible to localize areas for detailed work. Based on high-resolution satellite imagery, large-scale structural and tectonic schemes have been prepared and areas of detail for ground-based verification work have been outlined.
