DigitalGlobe Proprietary and Business Confidential 9 Key negative outcomes enabled with current data -ASTER: Low resolution pixels. Archive only - SWIR failed in 2008. -Airborne: Weather delays, remote sites, complex permitting. Limitations and Consequences of Current Methods over come by WV3 Misinformed decisions with economic consequences Delayed Exploration Delayed Exploration Costly Programs Missed Opportunity

DigitalGlobe Proprietary and Business Confidential WV-3 Science and Theory Radiance and Reflectance - Data normalization Material Identification - Spectroscopy

Slide 12

DigitalGlobe Proprietary and Business Confidential Whats Radiance? radiance vs reflectance Radiance is what a satellite measures. It is how much energy; light or heat as reflected by something -Things look different when they are brightly or dimly lit. -This is radiance. 12

Slide 13

DigitalGlobe Proprietary and Business Confidential Why Reflectance? radiance vs reflectance Reflectance is a constant, predictable property of the material. -Reflectance is a ratio. OUT/IN = reflectance -This is reflectance. In Out Percent of light that is reflected! 50% 13

Slide 16

Hydrocarbon (HC) Spectral/Geochem Model A - Trapped HC in subsurface (can be either structural or stratigraphic trap) B - HCs migrate upward along micro fractures, fracture systems, and fault zones. The presence of HC molecules tend to generate a reducing environment, thereby liberating metal ions. This is particularly applicable in clastic rocks containing detrital Fe and Mg C - Metal ions near the surface are washed away by groundwater. The resulting outcrops and residual soils appear anomalously altered or bleached Lisbon Valley Model
