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.
