Redox preconditioning deep cratonic lithosphere for kimberlite genesis – evidence from the central Slave Craton
Abstract We present the first oxygen fugacity (fO2) profile through the cratonic lithospheric mantle under the Panda kimberlite (Ekati Diamond Mine) in the Lac de Gras kimberlite field, central Slave Craton, northern Canada. Combining this data with new and existing data from garnet peridotite xenol...
