Abstract
Remote sensing and Geographic Information System (GIS) application was carried out in the Geological Mapping and Mineral prospecting of Toro and Environs, Bauchi State.Tectonic mapping showed that structures generally trend NE-SW and NW-SE in line with the principal fracture direction on the Basement Complex. The rivers and vegetation of Toro and Environs are generally structurally controlled.The results revealed the importance of image processing which was carried out in the following order; Image Enhancement, Clustering/Classification, Supervised classification, Image ratio, Tectonic mapping approach, Vegetation (Geobotanical) and Digital Terrain Modeling. Economic mineral potential zone of the Toro and Environs include DogoDaji, Duste Moro, Panshanu others are Juga, Buri, Leru and JarawanKogi. Economic minerals found within Toro and Environs are Cassiterite, Topaz, Aqua marine, Zircon, Columbite.
