Complimentary Approaches to Mineral Prospectivity Mapping

Daniel Marsh

For prospectivity analysis, SRK typically uses a hybrid approach or develops both model types for comparison. The approaches are considered complementary, as demonstrated in a recent prospectivity- mapping project across Western Australia (WA).
