Thanks to lower operational costs and ease of use, UAS offer an alternative approach to aircraft-based and ground-based geoscientific measurements (Colomina & Molina 2014). Magnetic and hyperspectral UAS surveys hold particular promise for mineral exploration, and several groups have recently published studies of magnetic data collected by UAS for such applications (Malehmir <em>et al</em>. 2017; Cunningham <em>et al</em>. 2018), although equivalent studies using hyperspectral data are still rare (Kirsch <em>et al</em>. 2018). Combining both techniques is particularly useful. Magnetic measurements play an important role in mineral exploration, since magnetisation in rocks is mainly associated with magnetite and other iron minerals, which can be used in mapping and targeting of mineral deposits (Dentith & Mudge 2014). Hyperspectral imaging (HSI) is a powerful exploration and mapping technique in areas where the rock surface is well-exposed, and where geological units and mineral compositions can be estimated from spectral features of the electromagnetic spectrum in the visual and infrared range.</p>}, journal={GEUS Bulletin}, author={Heincke, Björn and Jackisch, Robert and Saartenoja, Ari and Salmirinne, Heikki and Rapp, Sönke and Zimmermann, Robert and Pirttijärvi, Markku and Vest Sörensen, Erik and Gloaguen, Richard and Ek, Lisa and Bergström, Johan and Karinen, Arto and Salehi, Sara and Madriz, Yuleika and Middleton, Maarit}, year={2019}, month={Jul.} }
