Carbonate rocks can be quite busy but kimberlites that are magnetic will contrast highly. There are however many holes in the carb rocks that are highs as they "shallow" the cover and expose more magnetic rocks. Despite this the exploration is dead easy on the islands compared to taiga. About 35% yield to VL aerial spotting. The age of most volcanic rocks in Canada has been established and the GSC probably did Lead-Lead dating on them a few years back. Also Hyder Gold may have had GSC boys in on their VI camp and they love to age date. The kimberlites may be quite young. I would estimate less than 35 million years. The Economic Geology of Canada Series by the GSC has bits on VI. It has many pete seepages and tarsands. Dark areas in the photos I have seen may be Kimberlites. The analog for that work was done on Somerset Island, the site of some of Canada's first in situ diamond discoveries by Cominco in the 70's. the first people on VI was a company led by a former Cominco boy, Ken Carter.

BTW the nickel temp does not lie, that is nice to hear but what was it? 950? 1100? Was it bi-modal temp or uni-peak? 63.4% chromate Chromites are low. You want to see 68% and higher.
