Saskatchewan overview:
The first discovery of kimberlite (a potentially
diamond-bearing rock) in Saskatchewan was made in 1988, in the Sturgeon
Lake area. Saskatchewan is now known to contain one of the largest kimberlite
clusters in the world, with approximately 80% of those kimberlites being
diamondiferous. To date, most exploration in Saskatchewan has been in
the Central and Northern regions, including the diamondiferous kimberlite
found by Shore Gold Corporation at Fort a la Corne. Despite the fact that
very large indicator minerals have been found in Southern Saskatchewan,
the region remains relatively unexplored and could be the next major diamond
area in Canada.

Saskatchewan Mineral Resources Department
The Saskatchewan government has been active in Madison’s area of interest,
and has created a kimberlite indicator mineral database as a
public record.
Recently, the government has recommended further diamond exploration
in
Southern Saskatchewan. For recent research please visit our Learn More section.
