| Abstract | Minerals associated with diamond source rocks found in glacial sediments indicate presence of a kimberlite. To a certain extent it also gives an evaluation of the potential presence of diamonds.
Regional ice advance and retreat pattern knowledge, combined with geophysical analysis, help to find the kimberlites that are the rock formations where diamonds can be found. This map shows the location of surficial materials and gives the general
direction of ice flow. |
| Summary | (Plain Language Summary, not published)
The map was originally published online in the Atlas of Canada, 6th Edition as an interactive digital map derived from a shapefile and mapped online
using MapServer, a platform for publishing spatial data to the web. In order to preserve the geographical content of this Edition during its publication from 1999 to 2009 all the maps have been converted from their online interactive form to a raster
and made available in PDF and JPEG. |
