Abstract

Structural mapping, including lineament analysis, is an important geological tool used to identify the prevailing tectonic trends within a study area. Lineaments are straight to curvilinear landforms that are widely distributed across the Earth's surface and are closely related to underground concealed structures, such as faults, shear zones, and folds. In this study, lineament extraction was carried out using both manual visual identification and automatic extraction approach with the suitable software. The results obtained are giving additional insight to the REE-Th-U mineral systems of the two Ukrainian and Canadian shield areas and providing vectoring guidelines for new discoveries.
