Raman Spectroscopy Coupled with Reflectance Spectroscopy as a Tool for the Characterization of Key Hydrothermal Alteration Minerals in Epithermal Au–Ag Systems: Utility and Implications for Mineral Exploration ...
Raman spectroscopy of fine-grained hydrothermal alteration minerals, and phyllosilicates in particular, presents certain challenges. However, given the increasingly widespread recognition of field portable visible–near infrared–shortwave infrared (Vis-NIR-SWIR) spectroscopy as a valuable tool in the...
