Abstract

The Kibi area (Ghana) is densely vegetated, poorly explored, but known to host few lode gold occurrences. To map lode gold prospectivity, existing geological map was updated by analysis and integration of multi-source remote sensing data sets. Preliminary ground-truthing and statistical comparison between the updated and the existing geological maps suggest that the former is more accurate than the latter. Knowledge-driven lode gold prospectivity mapping using spatial evidence from updated geological and from existing geological map further suggests that the updated geological map is more accurate than the existing geological map.
