2. On this page we describe the use of Landsat and AVIRIS in the study of alteration in the Goldfield, and briefly the Cuprite, mining districts in Nevada.

Copper

1. Cuprite has been a major ore of copper and is still mined in many places around the world.
2. Found in the oxidized portions of copper veins and is often associated with azurite, cuprite, native copper, iron oxides, and sulfides of copper and iron.
3. Cuprite occurs as veins, but occurs most commonly as thin films or druses of microscopic crystals and as thin films. (Web site)
4. Comments: Cuprite, copper oxide is a common and widespread ore mineral formed by oxidation of sulfide minerals in the upper zones of copper veins.

Imaging

1. Special attention is given to one site, Cuprite, Nevada, which is a splendid case study for illustrating the efficacy of hyperspectral imaging.
2. This isn't an easy task, because Cuprite has been the training ground for all imaging spectrometers for more than fifteen years. (Web site)
