Hello que seria

There isn't enough information to make a call one way or another although kimberlites have certainly been found in the region.

Having said that, the NR strikes me as very vague and to some degree suspect as it describes the anomaly as "highly magnetic" which kimberlites typically are not unless emplaced in a much less magnetic host such as limestone which this NR makes no reference to.

Typically kimberlites are magnetic lows while (and Eric can speak to this in more detail) a breccia pipe or porphry deposit with say copper sufides, PGM's or AU might well read as highly magnetic.

All very speculative though as I said, very little hard information and hardly worth a NR.

Regards

Vaughn
