The Hadamengou gold deposit in Baotou City, Inner Mongolia is an important large gold deposit in the Wulashan - Daqingshan metallogenic belt, with great prospecting potential. To give full play to remote sensing technology in geological prospecting, this study extracted the mineralization alteration information of the Hadamengou gold deposit from remote sensing data of different satellites. Based on the spectral characteristics of alteration minerals in the mining area, this study proposed a comprehensive processing method that extracted iron staining information from the Landsat8 OLI and WorldView - 3 data, hydroxyl information from the ASTER and WorldView -3 data, and carbonation information from the ASTER data through principal component analysis. As a result, two alteration zones were delineated based on the distribution patterns of alteration anomalies and the geological map analysis of the mining area. By combining the study results of the ore - controlling structures, it is believed that the metallogenic hydrothermal proceeses of the Hadamengou gold deposit were closely related to structures. This study can provide a reference for the prospecting for the same type of gold deposits in the Wulashan - Daqingshan metaHogenic belt and can guide the peripheral prospecting of the Hadamengou gold deposit.
