Remote sensing, geophysical, geochemical, and geology data were analyzed and fused for identify metallic mineralization in the Kodegan-Basiran region (East Iran). Landsat 7 Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+), aeromagnetic data, geological data, and geochemical stream sediment samples were utilized. The study area contains some copper indices and mines. Thus, the main focus of this study was identifying the zones with high potential for metallic copper mineralization. A two-stage methodology was implemented in this study: First, extraction of the exploratory parameters related to metallic mineralization and second is data fusion by the hybrid fuzzy-analytic hierarchy process (Fuzzy-AHP) method. Hydrothermal alterations and iron oxides in the area were mapped by applying the optimum index factor (OIF), band ratio (BR), and least squared fit (LS-Fit) to ETM+ data. Intrusive masses were positioned as one of the effective parameters in identifying metallic mineralization zones using the gradient tensor method to assess aeromagnetic data. In order to determine the threshold concentration and the location of mineralization anomalies, the K-means clustering algorithm, vertical geochemical zonality (Vz) index, as well as concentration-area (C-A) multi fractal and singularity analysis were implemented on the geochemical data. In conclusion, the potential zones of metallic mineralization in the Kodegan-Basiran region were displayed in a mineral prospectivity map (MPM) derived from the Fuzzy-AHP decision-making method. Finally, to validate the prospectivity map of metallic mineralization, a control area was selected and surveyed by collecting mineralogical, petrological, and stream sediment samples. Field works confirmed the mineralization of Cu and Fe sulfides, oxides, and hydroxides. The high potential areas identified in the MPM can be considered as targets for future Cu exploration in the Kodegan-Basiran area.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/min12121629","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,19]],"date-time":"2022-12-19T05:25:46Z","timestamp":1671427546000},"page":"1629","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":21,"title":["Multi-Dimensional Data Fusion for Mineral Prospectivity Mapping (MPM) Using Fuzzy-AHP Decision-Making Method, Kodegan-Basiran Region, East Iran"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Ali","family":"Shabani","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Mining, Petroleum & Geophysics Engineering, Shahrood University of Technology, Shahrood 3619995161, Iran"}]},{"given":"Mansour","family":"Ziaii","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Mining, Petroleum & Geophysics Engineering, Shahrood University of Technology, Shahrood 3619995161, Iran"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4755-4214","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mehrdad","family":"Monfared","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Mining, Petroleum & Geophysics Engineering, Shahrood University of Technology, Shahrood 3619995161, Iran"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7756-3205","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Adel","family":"Shirazy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Mining Engineering Department, Amirkabir University of Technology (Tehran Polytechnic), Tehran 1591634311, Iran"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7623-301X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Aref","family":"Shirazi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Mining Engineering Department, Amirkabir University of Technology (Tehran Polytechnic), Tehran 1591634311, Iran"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Shirmard, H., Farahbakhsh, E., Pour, A.B., Muslim, A.M., M\u00fcller, R.D., and Chandra, R.
