Abstract

The Landsat enhanced Thematic Mapper (ETM+) which is covering part of the Zurak Lead Zinc field has been digitally processed to enhance the visibility of lineaments. The contrast stretched of band 3, 2, 1 was found to be the best in displaying lineaments for the area. hence was further processed by using directional filters. After tracing all lineaments, their orientations were determined aild measured, and then analyzed by preparing rose diagrams for analysis, interpretation and comparison with the published geological map of the Nigerian Geological Survey Agency 2006.
