The area was identified on the basis of historic sampling, by the Saskatchewan Geological Survey and the Geological Survey of Canada in the early 1990's that recovered high counts of kimberlite indicator minerals including significant concentrations of pyrope and eclogitic garnets, chrome diopside and oxides covering a large aerial extent of unglaciated terrain.
At Foelsche, drilling has intersected very weathered and altered clastic breccias with a clay matrix at anomaly F14, which lies in the headwaters of streams containing macro diamonds and a suite of indicators, such as chrome diopside, picro-ilmenite and chromites.
To investigate this, probe mounts containing 307 garnet grains and 25 chrome diopside grains were dispatched to the Euclid Geometrics Laboratory in Kitchener, Ontario, for microprobe analysis.
