First, excuse the Oct.02/98 date on that last ACA nr (should be Oct.02/97). Second, how about that K5? -- From the IKC paper: victoryventures.com Several kimberlites outcrop, including the spectacular example of kimberlite K5 that forms a hill some 60 m high. Wow! Now that's an outcropping! - - - More, The full suite of kimberlite indicator minerals is present in the Buffalo Hills pipes. Minerals derived from mantle peridotites and pyroxenites include olivine (forsterite), chromian pyrope, calcic knorringite, chromian diopside and augite, enstatite and various chromian spinels, principally aluminous magnesian chromite. - - - I like the final paragraph: The Buffalo Hills kimberlite province is a significant discovery in the history of worldwide kimberlite exploration. Preliminary high-resolution aeromagnetic surveys suggest that the 15 kimberlites discovered to date may be only a minor part of a large, multi-field province that could prove to contain numerous additional kimberlite pipes. The large size of some of these kimberlites coupled with broadly favorable indicator mineral chemistry and the presence of diamond indicate that the Buffalo Hills province may have the potential to host economic diamond deposits. :>
