Situations are discussed in which remote sensing has helped in the exploration for silver, fluorite, gold, bauxite, ilmenite, and nickel. It is shown that remote sensing can be a specific tool, in tropical rainforest terrains, for the exploration for nickel-laterite deposits. It is also shown that the combined use of an airborne gamma-ray survey with the interpretation of a satellite image is an effective method of exploring for heavy-mineral sands.
