Abstract

In the work, on the example of the part of the East African Rift territory, the forecast of ore objects on the basis of lineament analysis of Landsat 8 and SRTM satellite images is executed. It is identified that more quality prognoses can be achieve by studying not lineaments itself, but their deformations — gaps, intense bends, turns of the directions relatively 0, 45, 90, 135 degrees azimuths, which are typical for all terrestrial surface. It is shown that maps reflecting spatial concentration of lineaments deformations can successfully be used for geological forecasting using Data mining methods.
