Understanding the geology and emplacement of kimberlites and related rocks is the foundation of exploration for, and mining of, primary diamond deposits. This requires the investigation of many rocks (outcrops, mining exposures, drillcores, hand samples and thin/polished thin sections). Augmenting such work undertaken by the diamond industry with joint detailed and diverse research projects at UBC (e.g. emplacement, volcanology, igneous and mantle petrology, geochemistry, experimental) can enhance the development of the 3D geological models that form the basis of economic assessments. Also comparing and contrasting the geological models of the many kimberlites that have been evaluated in the last few decades across Canada and the world provide useful guidelines for the investigation of new discoveries.
Kimberlites are complex unusual rocks which have unique properties that require a special pathway to understanding them. Ongoing research with numerous publications including the following topics:
- Petrogenetic classification of kimberlites and related rocks to improve the recognition of rocks with economic potential
-Textural-genetic classification of primary diamond deposits to improve the understanding of emplacement and the effect on diamond distributions
have culminated in the publication with seven other experts including Professor Kelly Russell of UBC of the three part A Glossary of Kimberlite and Related Terms.
The Glossary is a comprehensive handbook for geologists in both the diamond industry and academia which provides a standard approach through rationalised terminology and a practical framework for the progressive investigation and interpretation of kimberlites.
