Quantitative Mineralogy from Infrared Spectroscopic Data. II. Three-Dimensional Mineralogical Characterization of the Rocklea Channel Iron Deposit, Western Australia

This study demonstrates how mineralogy generated from spectroscopic visible, near, and shortwave infrared reflectance data, collected using rapid drill core logging systems, can be used to build one-, two- and three-dimensional models of the architecture of ore systems, with applications toward exploration and mining. In particular, this study examines both spectroscopic and traditional mining data (laboratory geochemistry and field geologist...
