Research Publication by our Graduate Student

Mohamed A. Abelkader, a doctoral student from the Department of Geosciences, Geotechnology, and Materials Engineering for Resources at our Graduate School, analyzed spectral data obtained by satellite for a granitic pluton with rare metal mineralization in the Eastern Desert of Egypt. He successfully detected various alteration zones and fracture-dense zones. The analysis results, combined with surface observations, revealed that rare metal mineralization is included in the alteration zones that dominate in chlorite, muscovite, and hematite.
These findings were published in Journal of Geochemical Exploration.
