Abstract
In the area of the Kursk magnetic anomaly during geological and geophysical surveys, deep (5–10 km) foci of highly conductive objects were identified. The increased electrical conductivity of terrigenous formations, as well as the detailed high-precision aeromagnetic survey data, made it possible to identify geological and geophysical markers corresponding to the horizons of carbon- and sulfide-containing shales. That is why the forecast of the diamond content of the work area is a very relevant topic. The materials of this work are based on the following aspects: - primary geophysical processing of the magnetic field matrix data according to the M-37 map sheet; - drawing up a forecast map for the most promising areas of work; - consideration of alternative deposits associated with kimberlite pipes to create the most accurate idea of the possibility of detecting the same pipes in the KMA region.
