전남 무안군 해제면 임수리 소재 삼보광산에서 편마암류 또는 유문암내에 열극을 충전한 함금은 광상을 대상으로 지표에서 자연전위탐사와 전기비저항탐사를, 경사 시추공을 이용한 시추공대 지표 비저항 토모그래피 탐사를 실시하였다. 광상은 함금은 석영맥으로 모암 내에는 황철석 등의 황화광물이 광염상으로 배태되기도 한다. 탐사 결과 전기적이상 반응으로 보아 광화대는 N5W 방향으로 폭 $20\~30\;m$, 길이 약 360 m 정도 발달하며, 토모그래피 단면상 지표하 심도 $40\~50\;m$ 깊이에 폭 20 m규모의 이상반응이 확인되었다.

This study demonstrated the ability of a Landsat-8 OLI multispectral data to identify and delineate hydrothermal alteration zones around auriferous prospects within the crystalline basement, North-western Nigeria. Remote sensing techniques have been widely used in lithological, structural discrimination and alteration rock delineation, and in general geological studies. Several artisanal mining activities for gold deposit occur in the surrounding areas within the basement complex and the search for new possible mineralized zones have heightened in recent times. Systematic Landsat-8 OLI data processing methods such as colour composite, band ratio and minimum noise fraction were used in this study. Colour composite of band 4, 3 and 2 was displayed in Red-Green-Blue colour image to distinguish lithologies. Band ratio ${\frac{4}{2}}$ image displayed in red was used to highlight ferric-ion bearing minerals(hematite, goethite, jarosite) associated with hydrothermal alteration, band ratio ${\frac{5}{6}}$ image displayed in green was used to highlight ferrous-ion bearing minerals such as olivine, amphibole and pyroxenes, while ratio ${\frac{6}{7}}$ image displayed in blue was used to highlight clay minerals, micas, talc-carbonates, etc. Band rationing helped to reduce the topographic illumination effect within images. The result of this study showed the distribution of the lithological units and the hydrothermal alteration zone which can be further prospected for mineral reserves.
