The objective of this research was to use remote sensing techniques as a tool prior to the identification of old mines (Mining Environmental Liabilities) through the analysis of spectral signatures in minerals, bodies of water and vegetation types. The investigation was carried out within the quadrangles 14F and 14G of the province of Hualgayoc, Cajamarca region, Peru. In the research, a Landsat 8 WRS-2 image from the year 2016 was used, the sweep was done by the Landsat 8 satellite with Path / Row (9/65), image compiled from the USGS (US Geological Survey) of NASA. The image did not present any type of treatment, for which atmospheric, geometric and radiometric correction was made. This with the purpose of eliminating the effect of the aerosols, and decomposed into values of digital levels. Then, we choose the most representative minerals of the area and we compared the shape with the spectral library of the software. To determine the levels of abundance of water and vegetation, we used, Normalized Water Differential Index (NDWI), and the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), as well as spectral signatures. All these parameters within the satellite images were processed through the ENVI 5.3 program. The results showed that the most representative minerals in the area were Covelina, chalcopyrite, pyrite, pyrite-limonite and galena, with Galena being in a greater proportion. The main metals associated with the minerals were: copper, iron and lead; being iron the most abundant . Then, we identified the main water bodies in the area and the types of vegetation, where the old mines would be located. Finally, we observed that the main old mines closest to bodies of water and with poor soils in terms of vegetation, would be the located in: Rio Llaucano in the coordinates (774000, 9265000), Rio Arascorque (767000, 9254000), Rio de la Quebrada (772000, 9265000), and Rio el Tingo (762000, 9254000). These points would be the highest priority for environmental remediation. With these results, this research aims to be a source of consultation and a methodological guide to be used in the location and prioritization of old mines.
