Description

In order to investigate the geochemical evolution of the Klaza hydrothermal system and metal distribution among sulfide minerals, pyrite, sphalerite, and arsenopyrite were mapped using LA-ICP-MS. The raster data from each map were processed using unsupervised machine learning (K-means clustering and PCA) to classify and filter pixels unrelated to the mineral of interest and to subsequently attribute primary and late features in the mineral grain.
