Abstract

Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) and Landsat 8 Operational Land Imager (OLI) multispectral data covering the Kalamaili region in Eastern Junggar of NW China were evaluated for lithology, and alteration minerals zones. The study area is covered by basement rocks including granitoids, scattered ophiolitic components, schistose sedimentary and tuffaceous matrix. The band ratios, principal component analysis (PCA) and false-color composition (FCC) of ASTER and Landsat 8 OLI data have substantially improved visual interpretation for detailed mapping of the Kalamaili region in Eastern Junggar of NW China. The band ratio methods enabled the discrimination between lithological units. The results show ASTER band ratios in RGB identifies the lithological units and discriminates the granitoids very well from the adjacent rock units. The PCA using the Crosta technique to be very useful to identify the altered features of iron-oxide and hydroxyl minerals for Landsat 8 OLI and for ASTER data applied to extract the iron-oxide, hydroxyl and carbonate minerals. To enhance the location of mineral deposits, false color composite of the resultant images were displayed as RGB respectively. To further validate the lithological and mineral mapping a fieldwork was carried out and rock samples were collected for spectral and petrography analysis.
