A method and a system for locating mineral deposits which utilizes readily available data and is performed using a computer without the need for on- site exploration of the area of interest. The method comprises (a) gathering data relevant to the existence of the mineral deposit within the area of interest; (b) analyzing said data and identifying a plurality of parameters present in said data; (c) dividing the area of interest into a grid comprised of a plurality of grid elements; (d) assigning a numerical value for each said parameter to each said grid element in said area of interest; (e) calculating a plurality of correlation values, each one of said correlation values comprising a numerical value representative of a strength of a positive or negative correlation between one pair of said parameters over said area of interest; (f) analyzing the correlation values to identify a correlation relationship between a subset of said plurality of parameters which show strong positive or negative correlations to one another; (g) determining whether or not the correlation relationship is consistent with the data gathered for the area of interest; and (h) where the correlation relationship is consistent with the data, identifying potential mineralized zones within said area of interest where the relationship between the parameters is consistent with the correlation relationship; or (i) where the correlation relationship is not consistent with the data, returning to said step (f).
