Conceptual Models

Flinders has used two particular conceptual models which predict that diamondiferous kimberlites are likely in the Company's tenements.

Gravity Corridors

The Australia wide transcontinental gravity corridors, as shown on the project location map (see section 2.5), are seen as deep and long-lasting zones of weakness in the earth's crust along which primary diamond source rocks have been intermittently emplaced during periods of local crustal tension. These zones may act as loci for other types of mineralising activity such as at Olympic Dam located about 100 kilometres along the G2 corridor southeast of the Company's G2 Project.

The intersections of gravity corridors are even more important loci of interest. The Strangways Project lies at the intersection of G1, G2 and G3, and the Springfield Project is near the intersection of the G2 and G7 gravity corridors.
