TARGET: Diamonds in the Cradock - Carrieton region. EXPLORATION: Regional and follow-up stream sediment and gridded loam sampling, heavy mineral processing and SEM microscopy of bulk samples, grid-based ground magnetic surveys, and part of a regional airborne magnetic survey of inferred indicator mineral anomalous areas. RESULTS: Trace quantities of kimberlitic indicator minerals were recovered (principally mechanically weathered picroilmenites, plus one semioctahedral 0.003 carat microdiamond and grains of the carbonatite-diagnostic rare earth phosphate florencite), but those indicators found in the subsequently relinquished western half of the licence were considered to be derived from a distant source. Magnetic interpretation yielded no kimberlitic targets.
