| Feature | Primary variability captured | Measurement range | Spectral sampling / bands | Spatial resolution | Best used for |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Visible / VNIR | Fe-oxides and hydroxides; Fe-bearing silicates; manganese oxides and some sulfides via colour; organic cover vs bare rock | 350–1000 nm | ~5.4 nm sampling; ~288 bands | down to ~50 µm | Oxidation zones, gossans, laterites, hematitic vs goethitic caps, exposed rock vs cover |
| SWIR hyperspectral | Al-OH white mica group; Mg/Fe-OH chlorite/epidote; clays; carbonates; sulfates | 900–2500 nm | ~1.69 nm sampling; ~447 bands | down to ~400 µm | Hydrothermal alteration zoning, carbonates, clays, sulfates, and vectoring workflows |
| RGB camera | True-colour texture and visual context | Visible | N/A | down to ~2.5 µm | Visual logging context and core/sample documentation |
| Laser profiler | Surface geometry: height, breaks, roughness | FOV up to ~2 m | N/A | down to 1 mm | 3D surface and break maps, roughness, volume estimates, and RQD-assist metrics |
| XRF | Elemental chemistry and ratios | Element range | Energy channels | down to ~20 µm | Spot elemental measurements, QA/QC zoning, and reconciliation vs lab assays |
