The Sheehan, Mitchell and Forbes compilations are just such reports. They are as simple as it gets. Do a google search. The GSC and MNDM also have many, many papers for the layman. If you cannot read the Geology and Economic Minerals of Canada like it was a comic book, then I suggest you had better take public school remediation.
I have never had any troubles reading reports on diamonds in any journal and I only have grade three in public school and grade nine in high school. In University I barely got to third year. I expect to only get half my PhD, and barely 1/4 of a Nobel Prize. I don't think God will too pleased either, but you can't do everything.
Do a google search on diamonds and Patricia Sheehan, Roger Mitchell and Karl Forbes of Strike Minerals (deceased). Something should pop up. Sheehan may be too diffuse. Mitchell is Lakehead University and his reports will be there and also in the MNDM and at U of T.

If I wrote a paper it would take a month and cost 4,000. I did write a 48 page report on the Coronation Gulf 2 years before that became a staking rush. It is around somewhere, but where. I would want about 1500 for that, but I don't know if would help a layman when 1500 worth of books would make a pile 10 feet high and pack a lot more data.
Go here and punch 2001 and 2002, too, there are several good reports for the public in pdf.

If i run across the other three reports I will get you title.
Do go to the mndm.gov.on.ca site and also the geological survey of Canada. They also have Toronto libraries on Bay street. That is the gold mine. All reports are readable by the public. Example at random...
The igneous intrusions forming lit par lit structure vary in composition between red granite, to the binary granite, but only as irregular segregations and border phases. It is therefore thought to be the last and minor intrusive stage of the red granite magma.
