Short summary
We apply multi-range hyperspectral imaging on drill core material from a Kupferschiefer-type Cu–Ag deposit in Germany, mapping minerals such as iron oxides, kaolinite, sulfate, and carbonates at millimetre resolution and in a rapid, cost-efficient, and continuous manner to track hydrothermal fluid flow paths and vectors towards base metal deposits in sedimentary basins.
