Abstract

This chapter describes the methods of magnetic and mineralogical analysis that can be used in the study of diamond-bearing rocks, specifically in the assessment of diamond potential. Picroilmenite (paramagnetic particles in rock-forming dolerites) and titanomagnetite with magnetite-ulvospinel exsolution structures were also thoroughly studied and the results are given in detail. Relationships between magnetic properties and mineralogical composition were defined for all studied samples along with their mineralogical and elemental compositions. Specific mathematical methods of magnetic and mineralogical data processing were developed for samples containing several ferrimagnetic minerals. The results were validated using mineralogical and elemental composition analysis.
