To assess the value of satellite imagery in resource inventorization on a national scale

The author has identified the following significant results. Production of 1:500,000 scale false color photolithoprints proved to be very valuable. Significant results were obtained in geomorphological mapping, mapping of disturbed and undisturbed natural vegetation as well as in the discovery of major geologic lineaments, some of which may be associated with mineralization. The cartographic quality of system corrected MSS imagery was also evaluated.
