Li Zhizhong, an academician of the International Academy of Astronautics, is a leading figure in my country's remote sensing technology field, having long been committed to the research and application of satellite remote sensing technology. He advocates using remote sensing technology to conduct dynamic monitoring of Earth's health, contributing to resource protection and green development. His achievements deeply serve national strategic needs, injecting core impetus into the development of remote sensing science and technology.

During the collaborative project, several academicians and experts offered numerous forward-looking suggestions. They emphasized that the application of hyperspectral remote sensing technology in mineral exploration can not only improve the accuracy and efficiency of mineral discovery but also provide a scientific basis for the ecological restoration of mines. By establishing a spectral library of typical rocks, minerals, and land features in the study area, the efficiency of mineral exploration and mine ecological environment monitoring can be significantly improved, providing strong support for the green development of mines.

Hyperspectral remote sensing satellites: Empowering technological innovation in the mining sector

Hyperspectral remote sensing satellites are the core technological support for this collaboration. Leveraging its extensive technical expertise in hyperspectral remote sensing, CAS Xi'an Optoelectronics & Aerospace customized high-resolution, high-spectral-precision satellite data services for Jiangna Mining. This satellite data, characterized by high spatial and spectral resolution, meets Jiangna Mining's high-precision needs in mineral exploration, resource development, and ecological restoration.

Through hyperspectral remote sensing technology, Jiangna Mining can achieve precise detection of the geological structure, ore body distribution, and mineral type identification in the mining area. For example, Xi'an Institute of Optics and Precision Mechanics CAS Aerospace Science and Technology Group Co.,LTD used multi-source satellite remote sensing imagery, combined with ground and core spectral acquisition, to construct a typical rock and mineral spectral library for the study area. This not only helps Jiangna Mining determine the mineralization characteristics and ore-controlling elements of major metallic minerals, but also provides strong technical support for mineral exploration by establishing a hyperspectral prospecting model.

Supporting Xinjiang-Namin's Globalization: From Smart Mines to International Expansion
