Um Ara-Um Shilman younger granites are one of the most promising uranium and thorium mineralization in the south Eastern Desert of Egypt. These granites are classified into monzogranite and alkalifeldspar granite. The using of remote sensing image processing techniques and Geographic Information Systems (GIS), considered an effective, powerful tool in the field of lithologic mapping and mineral exploration lately. Landsat 8 Operational Land Imager OLI showed a great capability in geologic exploration, especially for the remote and high terrain areas, reducing time and efforts at Um Ara – Um Shilman area. The results showed a distinctive differentiation between the different lithologies rocks unites especially fine to medium-grained alkali feldspar fertile granite and coarse-graine... view more»
