Abstract: 
The analysis of the hyperspectral image is an important method used in mineral detection. A map of the Feldspar mineral will produced for the study area, which lies to the west of the holy province of Karbala and limited in image that download from USGS website (type hyperspectral image from EO-1 satellite) , by using Spectral Angle Mapper (SAM) technique in the Erdas software, which is based on calculating the spectral reflection curve of any point on the image and the spectral reflection curve of feldspar mineral that is available in the spectral library of the software. For the purpose of verifying the results of the image analysis, ground truth ( field work ) was used by collecting 12 soil samples and finding the spectral curve for each sample by the spectral analysis device (ASD) and the result show the match between image and ground, where produced Feldspar mineral map.
