About perspectives of studying kimberlite indicator minerals
Analysis of the results of carried out investigations of mantle modules in kimberlite diatremes of main diamondiferous regions of the Siberian platform was made. Detailed complex investigations of diamond and its paragenetic accessory minerals allow establishing material-indicative parameters of kimberlite magmatism of various productivity and geologic-structural position of kimberlite bodies, and address issues about primary sources of placer diamonds, as well. The presence in kimberlites of definite groups of depth xenoliths and xeno-grains of their minerals, chemical and geochemical composition of kimberlites allowed formulating a concept about properties of upper mantle formations, being the source of magma for each of distinguished type of kimberlites. Upgrading the line of research on creation of more efficient ore processing flowsheets and providing crystal-integrity technologies, expansion of diamond application areas with consideration of their real structure and physical features, as well as revelation of natural targets with increased quality of diamond raw material, are all related with investigation of primary indicator minerals of kimberlites.
