The Sheahan Diamond Literature Reference Compilation - Technical Articles based on Major Region - Democratic Republic of Congo

The Sheahan Diamond Literature Reference Compilation is compiled by Patricia Sheahan who publishes on a monthly basis a list of new scientific articles related to diamonds as well as media coverage and corporate announcements called the Sheahan Diamond Literature Service that is distributed as a free pdf to a list of followers. Pat has kindly agreed to allow her work to be made available as an online digital resource at Kaiser Research Online so that a broader community interested in diamonds and related geology can benefit. The references are for personal use information purposes only; when available a link is provided to an online location where the full article can be accessed or purchased directly. Reproduction of this compilation in part or in whole without permission from the Sheahan Diamond Literature Service is strictly prohibited. Return to Diamond Region Index

Each article reference in the SDLRC is tagged with one or more key words assigned by Pat Sheahan to highlight the main topics of the article. In addition most references have been tagged with one or more region words. In an effort to make it easier for users to track down articles related to a specific region, KRO has extracted these region words and developed a list of major region words presented in the Major Region Index to which individual region words used in the article reference have been assigned. Each individual Region Report contains in chronological order all the references with a region word associated with the Major Region word. Depending on the total for each reference type - technical, media and corporate - the references will be either in their own technical, media or corporate Region Report, or combined in a single report. Where there is a significant number of technical references there will be a technical report dedicated to the technical articles while the media and corporate references are combined in a separate region report. References that were added in the most recent monthly update are highlighted in yellow within the Region Report. The Major Region words have been defined by a scale system of "general", "continent", "country", "state or province" and "regional". Major Region words at the smaller scales have been created only when there are enough references to make isolating them worthwhile. References not tagged with a Region are excluded, and articles with a region word not matched with a Major Region show up in the "Unknown" report.

	Abstract: An overview is provided of the exploration history and geological setting of the kimberlites in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Exploration for diamonds, in what was then known as Congo Belge, started in 1900 and the first diamonds were found in 1903 in Shaba (now Katanga) Province, in 1907 in Kasai Occidental Province near Tshikapa Town and in 1918 in Kasai Oriental Province near Mbuji Mayi Town. While the Kundelungu kimberlites in Katanga Province were discovered in 1908, other kimberlite fields were discovered much later (Mbuji Mayi 1946; Tshibwe 1956; Bas-Congo 1974; Kasendou and Lukashi 2005), during exploration work by Forminière (Société Internationale Forestière et Minière du Congo-Tshikapa), MIBA (Societé Minière de Bakwanga-Mbuji Mayi), the De Beers Group and Bugeco S.A. Published age constraints on the kimberlites show Late Cretaceous ages for the Mbuji Mayi kimberlites (~70 Ma) and Eocene-Oligocene ages for the Kundelungu kimberlites (~32 Ma). Emplacement of the Late Cretaceous kimberlites (Mbuji Mayi, Tshibwe, Kasendou and Lukashi) was concomitant with the deposition of Cretaceous sedimentary sequences. The majority of the pipes show crater-facies preservation and some of the pipes are flared displaying so-called ‘champagne glass-shaped’ morphologies, suggesting emplacement into unconsolidated sediments overlying basement. The age of the Eocene-Oligocene Kundelungu kimberlites corresponds to lithospheric extension associated with the southward propagation of the East African Rift.

	Abstract: Since the mid-1950s the Kwango River has been a major target for alluvial diamonds which are and continue to be mined from its terraces, younger river flats and present-day river channel. The terraces have maximum ages of Early to Middle Pleistocene. Most of the diamonds have been recovered from large diamond placers in and along the Angolan section of this river—the Cuango River. Smaller deposits have been worked further downstream, where the Kwango River forms the international border between Angola and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), also referred to as the ‘international’ Kwango. The prospecting history of this river goes back to 1906 but a systematic exploration program over the lower Kwango was only initiated in 2005. The application of geophysics to explore the terrace deposits and river flats has been very useful, but a programme of drilling and pitting was required to accurately define gravel and overburden thicknesses, and outline palaeo-channels. A diamond study used to glean information on diamond sizes and characteristics added significant value to the understanding of these alluvial deposits. For most of the international Kwango, terraces and river flats overly aeolian facies of Upper Kwango Group. Basement rocks, providing more favourable sites for diamond concentrations, are only exposed over a relatively short section, just upstream from Tembo. The basal part of the Cretaceous Kwango Group is locally composed of chemically mature gravels with diamonds in economic quantities only proximal to primary sources and no such settings were found in the project area. The size frequency of the diamonds from the international Kwango indicates that these form the distal head of the diamond trail that have been eroded out of the Cretaceous Kwango Group sediments and kimberlites in the Upper Cuango basin in Angola since the Pleistocene. The diamonds below the two major waterfalls along the international Kwango near Tembo, the Guiliame and Francois-Joseph Falls, show a high percentage of breakage and a decline in average diamond size from around 0.25 cts/stn above the falls to between 0.07 and 0.1 cts/stn in the Nzasi Muadi to Kitangu area between 20 km and 130 km below the Falls. However, local variations due to geomorphological influences affect diamond concentrations and sizes. A preliminary assessment of the terrace deposits suggests that these are uneconomic at present using modern mining methods. This is largely due to thick overburden (up to 12 m of sand) combined with thin and hence low-volume, medium-grade basal gravel, and the dominance of small diamonds of lower value.

	Abstract: Alluvial diamonds from the Kasai River, Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) are sourced from Cretaceous kimberlites of the Lucapa graben in Angola. Analysis of 40 inclusion-bearing diamonds provides new insights into the characteristics and evolution of ancient lithospheric mantle of the Congo craton. Silicate inclusions permitted us to classify diamonds as peridotitic, containing Fo91-95 and En92-94, (23 diamonds, 70% of the suite), and eclogitic, containing Cr-poor pyrope and omphacite with 11-27% jadeite (6 diamonds, 18% of the suite). Fluid inclusion compositions of fibrous diamonds are moderately to highly silicic, matching compositions of diamond-forming fluids from other DRC diamonds. Regional homogeneity of Congo fibrous diamond fluid inclusion compositions suggests spatially extensive homogenization of Cretaceous diamond forming fluids within the Congo lithospheric mantle. In situ cathodoluminescence, secondary ion mass spectrometry and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy reveal large heterogeneities in N, N aggregation into B-centers (NB), and ?13C, indicating that diamonds grew episodically from fluids of distinct sources. Peridotitic diamonds contain up to 2962 ppm N, show 0-88% NB, and have ?13C isotopic compositions from ? 12.5‰ to ? 1.9‰ with a mode near mantle-like values. Eclogitic diamonds contain 14-1432 ppm N, NB spanning 29%-68%, and wider and lighter ?13C isotopic compositions of ? 17.8‰ to ? 3.4‰. Fibrous diamonds on average contain more N (up to 2976 ppm) and are restricted in ?13C from ? 4.1‰ to ? 9.4‰. Clinopyroxene-garnet thermobarometry suggests diamond formation at 1350-1375 °C at 5.8 to 6.3 GPa, whereas N aggregation thermometry yields diamond residence temperatures between 1000 and 1280 °C, if the assumed mantle residence time is 0.9-3.3 Ga. Integrated geothermobaromtery indicates heat fluxes of 41-44 mW/m2 during diamond formation and a lithosphere-asthenosphere boundary (LAB) at 190-210 km. The hotter-than-average cratonic mantle may be attributable to contemporaneous rifting of the southern Atlantic, multiple post-Archean reactivations of the craton, and/or proximal Cretaceous plumes.

	Abstract: The South Atlantic Igneous Province comprises the Paraná Basalts, Rio Grande Rise, Tristan archipelago and surrounding guyot province,Walvis Ridge, Etendeka basalts and, in somemodels, the alkaline igneous lineament in the Lucapa corridor, Angola. Although these volcanics are often considered to have a single generic origin, complexities that suggest otherwise are observed. The Paraná Basalts erupted ~5 Ma before sea-floor spreading started in the neighborhood, and far more voluminous volcanic margins were emplaced later. A continental microcontinent likely forms much of the Rio Grande Rise, and variable styles of volcanism built the Walvis Ridge and the Tristan da Cunha archipelago and guyot province. Such complexities, coupled with the northward-propagating mid-ocean ridge crossing amajor transverse transtensional intracontinental structure, suggest that fragmentation of Pangaea was complex at this latitude and that the volcanism may have occurred in response to distributed extension. The alternative model, a deep mantle plume, is less able to account for many observations and no model variant can account for all the primary features that include eruption of the Paraná Basalts in a subsiding basin, continental breakup by rift propagation that originated far to the south, the absence of a time-progressive volcanic chain between the Paraná Basalts and the Rio Grande Rise, derivation of the lavas from different sources, and the lack of evidence for a plume conduit in seismic-tomography- and magnetotelluric images. The region shares many common features with the North Atlantic Igneous Province which also features persistent, widespread volcanismwhere a propagating mid-ocean ridge crossed a transverse structural discontinuity in the disintegrating supercontinent.

	Abstract: Extensive partial melting of the middle to lower crustal parts of orogens, such as of the current Himalaya-Tibet orogen, significantly alters their rheology and imposes first-order control on their tectonic and topographic evolution. We interpret the late Proterozoic Araçuaí orogen, formed by the collision between the São Francisco (Brazil) and Congo (Africa) cratons, as a deep section through such a hot orogen based on U-Pb sensitive high-resolution ion microprobe (SHRIMP) zircon ages and Ti-in-zircon and Zr-in-rutile temperatures from the Carlos Chagas anatectic domain. This domain is composed of peraluminous anatexites and leucogranites that typically exhibit interconnected networks of garnet-rich leucosomes or a magmatic foliation. Zirconium-in-rutile temperatures range from 745 to 820 °C, and the average Ti-in-zircon temperature ranges from 712 to 737 °C. The geochronologic and thermometry data suggest that from 597 to 572 Ma this domain was partially molten and remained so for at least 25 m.y., slowly crystallizing between temperatures of ?815 and >700 °C. Significant crustal thickening must have occurred prior to 600 Ma, with initial continental collision likely before 620 Ma, a time period long enough to heat the crust to temperatures required for widespread partial melting at middle crustal levels and to favor a "channel flow" tectonic behavior.

Africa, Democratic Republic of Congo, Botswana	deposit - Jwaneng
	Abstract: The physical characteristics and impermeability of diamonds allow them to retain radiogenic 4He produced in-situ from radioactive decay of U, Th and Sm. This study investigates the U-Th/He systematics of fibrous diamonds and provides a first step in quantification of the uncertainties associated with determining the in-situ produced radiogenic 4He concentration. Factors determining the total amount of measured helium in a diamond are the initial trapped 4He, the in-situ produced radiogenic 4He, ?-implantation, ?-ejection, diffusion, and cosmogenic 3He production. Alpha implantation is negligible, and diffusion is slow, but the cosmogenic 3He component can be significant for alluvial diamonds as the recovery depth is unknown. Therefore, samples were grouped based on similar major and trace element compositions to determine possible genetically related samples. A correlation between the 4He and U-Th concentrations approximates the initial 4He concentration at the axis-intersect and age as the slope. In this study, the corrections were applied to eight fibrous cubic diamonds from the Democratic Republic of the Congo and two diamonds from the Jwaneng kimberlite in Botswana. A correlation exists between the 4He and U-Th concentrations of the group ZRC2, 3, and 6, and of the group CNG2, 3, and 4 and both correlations deviate significantly from a 71?Ma kimberlite eruption isochron. The U-Th/He dating method appears a promising new approach to date metasomatic fluid events that result in fibrous diamond formation and this is the first evidence that some fibrous diamonds can be formed 10s to 100s Myr before the kimberlite eruption.

(alluvials)	Journal of Conflict Resolution, May 29, 37p. Pdf.	Africa, Sierra Leone, Democratic Republic of Congo, Angola	legal
	Abstract: This article investigates the impact of the world price of a “lootable,” labor-intensive natural resource on intensity of violent conflict. Results suggest that a price increase can have opposite effects at different geographical levels of analysis: a decrease in conflict intensity overall in resource-rich countries, but an increase in conflict intensity in resource-rich subnational regions. The article argues that intensity of violence decreases overall due to rising opportunity costs of rebellion but that violence concentrates in resource-rich areas as returns to looting rise. The article introduces a new measure of diamond propensity based on geological characteristics, which is arguably exogenous to conflict and can capture small-scale labor-intensive production better than existing measures. The stated effects are found for secondary diamonds, which are lootable and related to opportunity costs of fighting, but not for primary diamonds, which are neither.

	Abstract: The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) has a long history of mining activities. However, environmental and socio-economic problems associated with abandoned mines as well as activities including Artisanal and Small-Scale Mining (ASM) remain very concerning issues throughout the country. In this paper, we review abandoned mines, Artisanal and Small-Scale Mining (ASM), environmental and human impact assessment, conflict-minerals, and perspectives for future researches on mining activities in DRC, by selecting 26 significant and relevant peer-reviewed papers. With the recent mining boom in DRC, the issue of social and environmental impacts of abandoned mines and ASM has become a matter of concern for Congolese people. This actual development of several mining projects has driven the development of regulation, monitoring and impact assessment, and scientific publications of these activities. However, the findings from multiple studies regarding the impacts of abandoned mines and artisanal and small-scale mining on the environment and human health across the country has not yet been sufficiently brought together in a reliable way. Focusing on health, social and environmental issues, this mini-review aims to increase awareness of negative impacts of mining operations and promote further collaborative between citizens, mining companies, government institutions and other stakeholders with the hope to reduce negative impacts associated with minerals and metals mining and to extend the benefits to the surrounding Congolese communities. The overarching objective of this paper is to characterize the existing studies in the field of the impact assessment of abandoned mines and ASM on public health and environment with a view to stimulate research, guide development of policies and implementation of appropriate interventions. This report draws from material published and available in the public domain over the past years. It also explores the response of the state and the mining companies to these issues, exploring responses such as regulatory changes and implementations of existing legislation. According to the results, additional studies that examine the relationship between minerals mining, bioremediation processes, training and dialogue aspects and the associated adverse environmental and health outcomes are needed to more adequately characterize the impact of mining activities on health and environment, in order to increase formalization of artisanal and small-scale mining sector while strengthening their social and environmental responsibility, and promoting sustainable mining practice standards that improve people lives and respect the environment in DRC.

	Abstract: Southern Africa is generally thought to be well explored, with only limited potential for major new diamond discoveries. However, Chiadzwa in Zimbabwe and reports of a significant new kimberlite find in Angola are testimony to the dangers attached to an attitude that 'there is nothing left to find'. Since the major discoveries in the central interior of South Africa in the 1870s, diamond exploration in the region has been led by market and political factors that influence the key exploration drivers of opportunity and value proposition. Unexpected new discoveries by new players always impact on existing producers and, from time to time, denial of opportunity through political or protectionist policies has inhibited investment in exploration. Entrepreneurial exploration appetite in southern Africa will be tempered by the potential value equation and security of investment. Overlaid on this, developments in diamond recovery technologies provide opportunity to reinvigorate current mines and old prospects previously considered too difficult or costly to exploit. Position on the cost curve will remain a key factor for survival in an increasingly competitive environment.

Diamondiferous alluvial deposits of the Longatshimo Valley, Kasai Province, southern DRC: a sedimentary and economic model of a central African diamond placer.	South African Journal of Geology, Vol. 124, pp. 499-518.	Africa, Democratic Republic of Congo	deposit - Kasai
	Abstract: The Kasai alluvial field in southern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is part of central Africa’s largest diamond placer that has produced more than 200 million carats, mainly derived from Quaternary deposits. A small part of these deposits, along and within the Longatshimo River, is the subject of this study providing a glimpse into the alluvial history of the Kasai diamond placer. This work documents their sedimentological and diamond mineralization attributes, as well as their emplacement processes, which can inform future exploration models. The key controls of this placer formation, notably Quaternary climatic variations, fluvial landscape evolution and bedrock conditions are also evaluated. A consequence of the interplay among these processes is that diamond supply (from Cretaceous alluvial sources), recycling and concentration were most pronounced and consistent, in the Late Quaternary. Alluvial diamond mineralization in this central African region thus evolved differently to those in southern Africa. Based on exploration results in the Longatshimo Valley, diamond concentration improves but diamond size diminishes with decreasing deposit age, and thus the modern river sediments contain the highest abundance but smallest diamonds. This is opposite to the grade and diamond size trend that characterises southern African fluvial diamond placers. The Longatshimo River study offers insight into the Kasai alluvial field, and its placer model is expected to be applicable to the exploration of other central African diamond placers.
