HiAn idea could be to calculate a kernel density from the sites and see if there is a correlationwith lithology. The dem could be useful if there is some correlation between morphology and themining sites i.e.: 1) are the mining sites correlated with the geo-structural and geomorfological setting?Have the geostructural and geomorfological setting a morphometric signature? I hope this is useful.ByeSebas
