Report of activities for the assessment of kimberlite indicator mineral sources on northeastern Banks Island, Northwest Territories : GEM 2 Western Arctic Margins project / I.R. Smith.M183-2/7972E-PDF

"This report outlines the scope and objectives of the Banks Island kimberlite (diamond) indicator mineral studies project, and summarizes field work, sample collection, and data compilation carried out between September 2014 and August 2015. The principal objective of this study is to assess the potential for a local diamond-bearing kimberlite(s) source on Banks Island by undertaking stream sediment and drift surveys, geochemical and kimberlite indicator mineral (KIM) analyses, conducting field inspection of industry-derived aeromagnetic survey anomalies, applying significantly revised glacial history models for Banks Island to understanding drift origins and dispersal, and compiling and assessing all available seismic shothole drillers’ log records as a means of further assessing regional stratigraphy"--Project summary, page 3.
