This paper describes three main parts of GIS technique used in prospecting of copper deposits. Firstly, this paper briefly introduces GIS technique for data preparation.Then it discusses the geoanomaly (GA) analysis and targets delineation methods, where the unit ore equivalent calculation of planar GA and the transformation and evaluation of linear GA are dominant.In addition, the method for copper prospecting is demonstrated.Finally a case study of copper-deposit prospecting in Yuanjiang, Yunnan Province is presented by the use of MAPGIS.
