I'm trying to visualize the changer in a mining area over time (the new buildings, the exploitation ..) and I can't find enough documentation, I prefer to do this work in python since I'm familiar with it, thank you in advance :D
Dear Hanan,
Solving the problem of finding mining areas is not dependent on preferable programming language or tool. In contrary, it is dependent on extracting features that are unique to mining activities from the Sentinel image and from these feature you can recognize the mines.
More information on how to track mining areas can be found in the following papers:

Hello Mohamad M. Awad,
Acually my use case is not about exploration and finding mining areas, it's mainly about tracking the changes aover the years, and detecting differences through comparison.
And yes you're right, this study does'nt depend on the language, it's more about the algorithms and method.
Thank you for the papers :D. Have a good day.
Dear Hanane Triy
Yes these papers is about tracking mining activities and not about exploration.
Thank you for your complement
:)
Do a land use_land cover evaluation using satellite imagery like Landsat for the period of interest. Then do Anderson LULC classification in ArcGis.
