The white tone, which PC1 0.143 0.552 0.627 0.532 96.540 for by far the most part, coincides with structural contacts. Extraction of regions of OH earing PC2 0.178 -0.151 2.560 minerals (Figure 5b) applying Arc GIS 0.737 produces Figure 6b, which-0.635 displays locations of high PC3 0.417 0.203 -0.716 0.522 0.592 hydrothermal alteration (0.65.67) in red.PC0.-0.0.-0.0.To be able to delineate particular locations of OH-bearing minerals using the PCA strategy, bands 2, 3, 4, eight, 11, and 12 of Streptonigrin Protein Arginine Deiminase Sentinel-2 information have been chosen for PCA transformation. In PC4 (Table 2), the eigenvector reflects a strong negative loading on band 12 (-0.678) and low or optimistic loading on band 11 (0.681).
