Copper Porphyry Exploration

Discover how East Star Resources revolutionized its copper exploration strategy in Kazakhstan’s vast BalkashIli volcanic arc with Marigold’s cutting-edge remote sensing and data analytics.

• Accelerated Targeting: Over 75,000 km² of challenging terrain was swiftly analyzed using global, Bare Earth multispectral imagery and supercomputing power—reducing targeting time from months to hours.

1. Advanced Alteration Mapping: Marigold’s approach pinpointed the Snowy Project license by detecting key silica lithocaps with a robust KLI index. This method effectively highlighted hydrothermal alteration minerals, refining target areas for further investigation.

• Hyperspectral Precision: The integration of hyperspectral data improved mineral species identification, capturing subtle variations in pyrophyllite and white mica. This enhanced insight is empowering East Star to optimize field campaign planning for trenching and drilling.
  
  
• Integrated Geochemical Validation: Soil geochemistry over the Snowy license confirmed the remote sensing findings, revealing significant gold and silver anomalies—strengthening the case for a mineralized system.
