Abstract
In recent years, application of remote sensing in mineral exploration had been developed and
becoming an important tool. Most important capability of satellites in mining exploration is
recognizing altered area. Because of close spatial relationship between mineral deposits and
alteration, mineral mapping based of satellite data accelerate the exploration and reduce the
cost. At Halakabad, the alteration zones are very broad and they are varied. Alteration zones are
propylitic, argillic, advanced argillic and silicification. Using different methods highlighted
altered area. Most Al-OH minerals like kaolinite, illite, pyrophyllite and alunite which are
associated within argillic and advanced argillic zone were recognized by processing aster SWIR
bands. Hydrothermal alteration zones in Halakabad are similar to Cu-Au high sulphidation.
Alunite is an important mineral in advances argillic zone.
