ASTER:  An Effective Tool Applied to
Precious Metals & Diamond Exploration

Approach to Exploration

• Reconnaissance with ASTER to identify pathfinder minerals, identify potential targets, & map general zoning.
• Field spectroscopy to ground check the targets to determine detailed zoning & select assay samples.
• Refer to case studies and spectral libraries.

• Pathfinder Minerals




Case Studies

• Base Metals:  Skorpion, Namibia
• High Sulfidation Gold:  Goldfield, NV
• Porphyry Copper:  Haib, Namibia
• Diamonds:  Argyle, Australia
