Numerous studies have proven that conceptual targeting based on integration of various geo-datasets can aid exploration companies to identify exploration targets (e.g. Joly et al. 2013). This is particularly true in remote, underexplored areas that are commonly just covered by airborne geophysics and remote sensing and mapped geologically only on a regional scale. Such regions are ‘exploration greenfields’ and may possess undiscovered economic deposits.
