These kimberlite dykes are proof that such dykes exist outside the Abloviak Fiord area. Their existence opens up the area north of the fiord to exploration for kimberlite dykes and pipes. There is very little vegetation above 1000 feet. Since one of the key signs of the presence of the kimberlite dykes is the grassy cleft in the rocks; exploration at this elevation needs to be done on the ground. The magnetometer used in walking mode is a very good tool in following invisible kimberlite dykes once they disappear under the extensive boulder fields in these higher elevations. It should be used to follow extensions of known or suspected kimberlte dykes.
