Executive Summary

The primary objectives of this study were to identify favourable geological anomalies and target areas for diamond exploration that would act to encourage industry to explore in Alberta, and to provide selected geological, geophysical and geochemical data that would assist industry in their exploration for diamonds in Alberta. We believe the following text, figures, tables and appendices provide much information and data that will be useful to industry in their exploration of Alberta for diamondiferous deposits.
