This research project set out to investigate the following main questions: How are suitable areas for diamond exploration recognised at regional scale ? How well do geophysical methods work for diamond prospecting in the Kimberley region of Western Australia? How can the use of geophysical methods be optimised within selected areas? Which advanced processing methods are best for defining suitable geological structures which are important controls for emplacement of kimberlites and lamproites? Does the present day topography provide clues to assist diamond exploration beyond catchment analysis of indicator minerals ?
