METHOD OF SURVEY DIAMOND REGIONS AND KIMBERLITE FIELDS Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: structural-petrologic methods of survey of diamond regions and kimberlite fields.

SUBSTANCE: method can be used when having prediction and survey works for diamond sources. Contours of known diamond regions and kimberlite fields are drawn on prediction geologic map. Geometric centers are selected within limits of those contours. Transparencies of stress areas of Earth's rotation field are put over which have been received for diamond regions and kimberlite fields. Parts are separated which are identical to contours of known regions and fields. Diamond regions and kimberlite fields are selected on the base of heavy concentrate mineralogical, geophysical and geochemical methods. Location of separate kimberlite bodies is determined on those fields to provide transition of structural constructions for any selected genetic groups of co-magma bodies of known kimberlite fields and diamond regions to local perspective regions. Those structures are subject to correlation by using elements of fault tectonics and modern hydro network for which purpose the heavy concentrate, geophysical and geological criteria of manifestation of diamond-bearing deposits.

EFFECT: widened capabilities of survey of diamond deposits.
