A method and system for ascertaining relationships between collected geological samples and remotely sensed geological data within a region is provided. The locations of physical samples and the locations of data points associated with remotely sensed data are identified and stored. The locations within the region are determined using a position identifying system, such as the global positioning system. The collected physical samples are analyzed to obtain data values for physical and chemical properties of the collected samples. Data mining algorithms are used to generate input data for the formulation of a set of spatial relationships. The locations of the physical samples within the region are associated with the locations of the remotely sensed data to form a set of spatial relationships. Spatial analysis techniques are used to provide understanding of this set of spatial relationships and how they relate to the location of either an economically viable mineral resource or the position of hidden subsurface contaminants and the understanding of their potential migration paths.
