Application of innovative methods of spectral and structural interpretation to solving geological problems and searching for deposits (based on the example of Auminzatau-Beltau ore district of the Republic of Uzbekistan)

   Over the past thirty years, the development of space technologies and the acquisition of digital information have shown that the use of satellite sensing materials in geology is a reliable and effective method. A special role in carrying out geological prospecting and forecasting work on the territory of the Auminzatau-Beltau ore region of the Republic of Uzbekistan by the automated method of processing satellite images of various ranges is important for identifying the optimal location of gold mineralization. Target. Identification of a zone of hydrothermal alteration and a favorable position of gold mineralization.
