Abstract:Kimberlite is one of the mother rock of diamond. At present, Three kimberlite zones have been found in western Shandong province, and the proven reserves are 10.6 million carats. Based on early magnetic survey work, magnetic anomaly characteristics of kimberlite in western Shandong province have been analyzed, and the availability of geophysical prospecting in detecting kimberlite has been introduced. It is concluded that methods of magnetism and electricity should be used in detecting kimberlite, especially in detecting hidden kimberlite in this area. Meanwhile, regional geological background and known geophysical characteristics of kimberlite also should be considered comprehensively.
