01Two exploration-stage comparisons
The February 2026 MinEx consultancy presentation applies spectral filters to satellite imagery and compares interpreted patterns with mapped features.
Fluorite setting
Landsat 8 pattern comparison
The presentation compares interpreted Landsat 8 patterns with mapped features in a fluorite setting.
Presentation example · February 2026 · MinEx satellite and UAV presentation, printed slides 10–11 · Field validation or a discovery outcome is not reported.
Alluvial setting
Drainage-pattern comparison
A second presentation example examines drainage patterns in an alluvial setting. The source prose and figure labels conflict on direction, so the directional interpretation remains unresolved.
Interpretive comparison · February 2026 · MinEx satellite and UAV presentation, printed slides 9–10 · Direction conflict recorded in the source.
02Sequence described in the presentation
The February 2026 presentation proposes a useful sequence: begin with satellite coverage, then consider closer UAV imagery if added local detail could help test the question. A current assignment would define available data, specialist input and checks around the project.
Frame the question
Set the exploration question and gather permitted geological and mapped context.
Review the imagery
Examine patterns in the available imagery and record its date, resolution and coverage.
Compare interpretations
Consider patterns alongside known features and the evidence available for the project.
Choose a useful check
Identify what further evidence, field observation or local detail could test the interpretation.
03Interpret imagery in project context
An image pattern can help target a closer question. Its meaning depends on geological context and suitable checks—such as mapped controls, samples, drilling or field observation—selected for the decision and agreed scope.
