Abstract
Summary
The search conditions for new diamond deposits over time are increasingly complicated, the thickness of overlapping sedimentary rocks increases and the size of search objects decreases. To effectively solve search problems in the set of kimberlite searching methods, the role of remote geophysical methods, including 2D and 3D seismic, is increasing. An article presents the technique of high-resolution 3D seismic survey and some results of 3D seismic survey on kimberlite bodies in the conditions of the Yakutian diamond province. On actual examples, the methodical efficiency of 3D seismic exploration is confirmed for the search for low contrast and small-sized kimberlite bodies.
