On the basis of remote sensing investigation and monitoring of multiple targets of mineral resources exploitation and

with the RapidEye satellite images of the Hongge magnetite-Lala copper ore district as an example, the authors deeply studied the

feasibility of the application of RapidEye satellite images in 1
∶50 000 remote sensing survey for mine exploitation. Viewed from the geometric correction accuracy，image composite processing

and interpretation criteria of RapidEye satellite images, such images can meet the needs of 1∶50 000 remote sensing survey for

mine exploitation and remarkably enhance the real time of 1∶50 000 remote sensing survey for mine exploitation.
