Abstract
Mafic and ultramafic rocks of the intrusive Andover Complex and Munni Munni Complex of the West Pilbara, and the Panton Intrusion of the East Kimberley, Western Australia, have been discriminated by Landsat-5 TM imagery. Band-ratioing procedures were used to enhance spectral differences determined from field spectral-reflectance information. For the Andover and Munni Munni Complexes, lithological discrimination is mainly based on the spectral response of different weathering products of the various ultramafic rock types. For the Panton Intrusion, the discrimination represents variations in the weathering products of the plagioclase-rich gabbroic units. Discrimination was hampered by vegetation-spinifex and lichen-and by fireburns.
