Abstract
- Natural mineral resources are the backbone of the development of industry and economic growth of the country. Which gives exploration and mining of mineral ores, manufacture and marketing of these raw materials added value to the country's national income. Knowing the importance of mineral ores and the importance of using new technologies in the exploration, such as remote sensing and geographic information systems (GIS). Eastern Al Uwaynat area in southeast of Libya has been selected to be the study area where the oldest rocks (Precambrian) unfold. Now a today's, it focuses of attention of many foreign companies, where these companies has done geological and geochemical studies in the area for Industrial Research Center (IRC) Libya. This paper presents the usage of remote sensing and geographic information systems (GIS) techniques to produce probability maps of the existence of gold based on geological criteria for the presence of gold derived from several references and remote sensing data and available maps for the region and field data
