Aster Funds Ltd.
Pre-Exploration to Post-Production Monitoring
Aster Funds provides a low-cost mineral exploration technology that enables one to perform early-stage exploration via high-quality satellite imagery analysis to produce quick results. Invaluable for mineral claims acquisition and exploration work assessment filings.
SPECTRAL ANALYSIS OVERVIEW
Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER)
ASTER is a Japanese electronic imaging sensor on board NASA’s multinational Terra satellite, launched into Earth orbit in 1999. The ASTER sensor has been collecting data since February 2000.
Aster Funds adapted proprietary algorithms to filter out vegetation and cloud cover that interfere with the spectral signal.
Detailed images are produced that outline 16 of the most abundant endmembers that are correlated to minerals that are present over the survey area.
An additional 300 minerals can be identified and scanned for.
Images outline mineral occurrences at surface with a pixel resolution of 90 metres.
Target Vector Minerals (TVM™) are identified from spatial association with known mineralization in the survey area and TVM™ overlaps are used to outline exploration targets.

Can be used for all commodities, minerals, metals, and gemstones.
Environmental Industrial Monitoring
Increased success rate and risk reduction for investors, prevents climate change by targeting emitters
Satellite monitoring of environmental factors of industrial complex.
Oil and gas field productions, gas leaks, oil refinery monitoring, pollution monitoring, carbon and methane gas emissions monitoring, and geoscientific interpretation.
Spectral Data for Mining
Advance warnings of a tailings collapse
Monitoring tailings using time-lapse SAR (synthetic aperture radar).
Weekly monitoring and algorithm creation to show changes and calculate odds of a failure, and geoscientific interpretation.
SUSTAINABILITY
Aster Funds Ltd highly values sustainability. We believe in preserving and protecting the earth’s fragile ecosystems for future generations. That’s why we've embedded it into our company’s sustainable mining framework. Our digital remote sensing and TVM (Target Vector Minerals) technology provides our clients with a reduced area for exploration, thereby minimizing unnecessary land and ecosystem disturbance, pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, and overall human impact on the environment.
