Prospects for diamond potential of the Charo-Sinskaya fault zone

Abstract

New data on the geological structure of the CharoSinskaya zone of deep faults located on the southern side of the Vilyui syneclise are presented. Based on the processing of the seismic survey results, the deep structure of the territory has been analyzed, and graben-like structures similar to those found near the known kimberlite fi lds of Yakutia have been identifi d. Taking into account the results on the mineralogy of the indicator minerals of kimberlite, a new kimberlite field location is predicted.
