We are looking for ore gold on the island of Sumbawa, Indonesia

Today we will search for minerals using data openly available on the Google Earth Engine (GEE) platform, using geological modeling and subsequent support vector classification to predict gold-bearing areas from the built geological model. We will need ALOS terrain with a resolution of 30 m, Sentinel-1 SAR radar images with a resolution of 10 m and Sentinel-2 10 m optical images (for visualization only). The accuracy of the classifier turned out to be 97.77% and, most importantly, the result meets the expectations of the geologist - the found areas are actually very promising.



An area for detailed study is marked with a red and white ball.
