Kimberlite and Diamond Discovery Architecture

Paper 428 of 511
Published June 1, 2026


Abstract

Diamond exploration differs from many mineral exploration programs because successful discovery often depends upon understanding deep lithospheric architecture and long-duration cratonic preservation.

Kimberlite systems provide valuable examples of resource concentration linked directly to geological survivorship.


Diamond Discovery Components


Discovery Principle

The strongest diamond exploration targets frequently occur where ancient lithospheric architecture survived long enough to preserve favorable deep-Earth conditions.
