Abstract
Abstract The study area is well known for the historical Cu/Mn mineralization at Khirbet El Nahas. A map of alteration zones was prepared by Kaufmann in 1988, based on Landsat-TM data. During 1 :50000 geological field mapping, with associated imagery studies, a moe specificdelineation of the metallically mineralized parts of the alteration zones was achieved and the structural control on the distribution of minerals was defined. Different Landsat-TM band combinations, including colour composite of bands 7, 4, and 2, high pass filtering of the colour composite of bands 7, 5 and 2, ratio and principal component colour composites, were used to enhance diagnostic features of mineralized zones, preform analysis of structural features and to verify the distribution of certain lithological units. A number of target areas were examined in the field and selectively sampled. As a result, previously known mineralized zones were defined and new mineralization areas were discovered.
