Abstract:

Precambrian basement rocks of Chitradurga Schist Belt (CSB) in Dharwar Craton comprises of enormous ore deposits, lithological contacts and mineralized zones. Spectral signatures of a mineral/ rock/ ore have opened a new vista in their scientific exploration and systematic mapping. In present study, 14 random samples of iron, manganese, limestone, komatiite, gneiss, fuchsite quartzite, conglomerate, biotite-granite, metagabbro, copper ore, dolerite, auriferous quartz, quartz vein and actinolite-tremolite schist are collected from central part of the Chitradurga Schist Belt of Dharwar Craton. These major rocks and minerals are studied as thin section under microscope, ICP analysis and ASD FieldSpec3 Spectro-radiometer to construct a model to map such resources successfully. This study synthesized the relationship of spectral absorption features of the rock/ mineral samples with the major and minor mineral constituents and compositions. Comprehensive model is a theoretical constructed design in the present study to seek more information under one platform to construct a spectral library for the selected samples along with their modified geological succession. This model also refers the spectral signatures of minerals, the rocks available in the USGS, JPL and JHU spectral library, in the vision to develop a spectral library of minerals of India.

Keywords:
