The Government of Greenland’s Diamond exploration data package compiles over 50 years of diamond exploration data. In addition to samples derived from Greenland’s established areas of diamondiferous rocks in central West Greenland, a wide coverage of regional exploration data extending throughout the country is included.The Diamond exploration data package is the first of its kind to collate diamond exploration data country-wide in a publicly accessible fashion. It incorporates the locations of 25 000 diamond exploration samples. Associated with these samples are over 109,000 good-quality chemical analyses of mineral separate grains integrated into a standardised framework. In total, 100 discrete, named in-situ bodies, which in principle have diamond potential (kimberlites, lamproites, ultramafic lamprophyres, and carbonatites) have also been compiled in the diamond exploration data package. These occur among over 3000 compiled in situ occurrences of dykes, pipes, sills and blows.Size: 8.7 GB. ...
