| Abstract | The study area is located at the tectonic boundary between the Povungnituk and Chukotat Groups in the Early Proterozoic Cape Smith Belt near Cross Lake, in northern Quebec. This zone is characterized by elongate intrusive bodies of mafic-ultramafic rocks which have been interpreted as co-magmatic with the Fe- and Mg-rich basalts of the lower Chukotat Group. Such ultramafic sills are often Ni-Cu-PGE bearing in the area. Probe-1 Hyperspectral imagery is being used to differentiate the lithologies in the study area. In an applied field setting such imagery records the spectrum of the surface weathering product rather than the signal from a fresh rock surface. The objective of this investigation was to generate a calibrated database of the hyperspectral signatures of the surficial weathering products of each of the local lithologies. Validation of lithologies and surficial weathering characteristics was carried out during two field campaigns, as well as in subsequent laboratory evaluation using infrared spectroscopy and mineralogical analyses. Field ground-truthing indicated significant visual compositional and textural differences between surficial weathering products for study area lithologies, found to be related to their composition, grain size and most commonly associated vegetation (lichen). In-situ and subsequent laboratory and powdered sample infrared analyses of fresh and weathered surfaces confirmed that infrared absorption features observed in hyperspectral imagery signatures for the lithologies was solely associated with the weathered mineral oxides. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
