In addition, local structural features and alteration zones were examined by ratio analysis of selected Landsat images. The linear trend analysis provided new regional structural data for previously proposed mineral deposit models and also provided new evidence for the extension of the existing models. Preliminary evidence also suggests linear inter- section control of some types of mineral occurrences and that trend analysis may result in the definition of areas favorable for future mineral exploration.
