All: 'ALBERTA GEOLOGICAL SURVEY OPEN FILE REPORT 1994-10'

"THE DIAMOND POTENTIAL OF ALBERTA: A REGIONAL SYNTHESIS OF THE STRUCTURAL AND STRATIGRAPHIC SETTING, AND OTHER PRELIMINARY INDICATIONS OF DIAMOND POTENTIAL.

"Information in an open file report on diamonds (ARC Open File 1994-10) points out that Alberta may have moderate to high potential for diamondiferous diatremes and vent-related deposits.

"...Alberta is favourable for diamondiferous deposits because the province is underlain by large areas of Precambrian crust that acted as "cool roots." As well, Alberta contains major faults, arches, grabens and other tectonic features that may have played an important role in the intrusion of diamond-bearing kimberlitic or lamproitic diatremes. Kimberlite and lamproite intrusions, several of which are diamondiferous, exist in several nearby provinces, territories and states."

Go read the rest at the above link (it's only a short report).
I reached this through a link at the 'Alberta Diamonds Online' site
( albertadiamonds.com ), cited earlier on this thread.
