Abstract

Remote sensing techniques offer valuable tools for identifying iron ores in Sierra Leone, Africa, facilitating efficient mineral exploration and resource management. This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of remote sensing data to identify and characterize iron ore deposits in the region. By integrating satellite imagery, spectral analysis, and geological mapping, the study provides insights into the spatial distribution, composition, and potential extraction of iron ores in Sierra Leone. The findings contribute to informed decision-making in mineral exploration, resource development, and environmental planning in the region.
