Hello Chuck

***OFF TOPIC***

Very little is published or even known about the Buffalo Head craton which was really only surveyed to any degree last year when the Canadian Lithoprobe project conducted their deep surveys in Alberta.

That information is supposed to be available soon, if not already.

Therefore, any answer I offer you would be my best guess and a result of opinions offered to me by various professional sources.

Because of the tectonic activity nearby and most probably within that craton, there is an increased likelyhood that it probably has not been stable long enough. That is to say, its diamond stability (preservation) field within its root zone may have been subjected to too many geological forces to have preserved economic quantities or quality diamonds.

That is not to say that they won't be found, it is just that the conditions, based on current knowledge and published geochemistry, suggest that it is less likely.

Good Luck
