In-situ mineral prospecting studies in the tropics face challenging environmental conditions leading to paucity of data and structural mapping of new mineralizations. Here we present the case of the tropical mining goldfield of Ketté in Cameroon to demonstrate remote sensing techniques for mineral exploration purposes. In this investigation Visible Near Infra-Red (VNIR) and Short Wave Infra-Red (SWIR) bands of Landsat-8 (OLI) and Landsat-7 (ETM+) images were used with field data for lineaments and hydrothermal alterations mapping. Semi-automatic and automatic extraction methods were applied through sobel directional filters to detect the contours in the image. PCA, MNF transformation and a band ratio of 4/2, 6/5 and 6/7 were applied to map alteration minerals. The result revealed NE-SW to ENE-WSW main trends. Gold mineralization occurrences are spatially associated with WNW-ESE to NW-SE (110°–140°) ranging lineaments/faults and show a strong correlation with medium to high lineament density zones. Hydrothermal alteration minerals are spatially associated closely with gold occurrences and known mining sites that are structurally controlled by the NE-SW to ENE-WSW shear zone. The high-prospect zones for gold exploration are located along the Mama and Molé fault, Ngoubésseli, Boubara-Koumbé Tiko, Gwé, and Ndambi I-Tezoukpé.

(Business in Cameroon) - Between January and April 2021, 14 artisanal miners died in mining fields in Eastern Cameroon, according to local NGO Forêt et développement rural (FODER), which fights for environmental protection on mining sites. According to the NGO, the number of deaths this year could be higher than the 20 recorded in Eastern Cameroon and in the Adamaoua in 2020. FODER explains that most of the deaths (157 recorded between 2013 and 2021) were due to the non-restoration of mining sites after operations. According to Cameroonian law, mining operators are required to refill the holes and the trenches dug during gold exploration once they complete their works.
Accepting Vaccination: Why Change In Communication Strategy Turned The Tides A growing number of Cameroonians regard vaccination with skepticism. This is partly explained by ignorance and the rumours often peddled on social media on the “demerits” or supposed risks of vaccination. Of late, the situation was worsened by the stance of two Roman Catholic Church dioceses whose bishops openly declared they would allow their female parishioners to be vaccinated against Central African Republic, CAR refugees in Cameroon’s East Region. “These people have no problem whatsoever with vaccination!” says Meka Monique Blanche, a midwifery supervisor with the Africa Humanitarian Action, AHA aid organisation in
