One reason for a corner to be drilled off would be the fault was in place when the magma erupted and there had been seismic activity since the sedimentary rock was placed. The kimberlite would then wedge itself between the layers of sedimentary rock with enough force to split it horizontally till it encountered a path of least resistance that allowed it to have a change in attitude. There could also have been earthquakes that caused portions of fault to shit in elevation. We may have a drill hole that indicates this already to a large degree. Add several glaciation periods with ice scouring the tops off everything ( lucky the dike dips at 15*) and what do you have.

Someone a while back asked what would be done about the water leaking into the mine from Snap Lake. Well it would be frozen. They do this in potash mines in Sask.
