Yes I do know what (surface enrichment) means But don't think you can apply it to diamonds Because. As the kimebrlite comes to the surface it explodes into the air and in it place it leaves the G-10's and ect. Because the kimberlite materal is so soft it is eroded away very fast by rain, snow, and in the north, glaciers. leaving behind a lake or a prefectly round pond. as the glaciers strip and gouge the surface, it also leaves a mineral train behind which is found by taking samples in a straight lines vertical from each other. normaly about 100 to 50 meters apart. leading you to the kimberlite if you can figure out which way the galcier was moving. When I was in Greenland you could see fresh scraches into the rocks after the glacer had moved over the area.
