The 100 plus bands of the airborne hyperspectral scanner, HyMap, provide a means of mapping specific minerals and mineral assemblages related to surficial uranium ore deposition. High spatial resolution (3-5m) and a versatile air-based platform make mapping from deposit to district scale a quick, cost-effective choice.
