Proposed FedNor Locations
Location of Previous Teleseismic Sites
Below is a map with locations of temporary arrays in Ontario that have provided useful information about mantle structures. The station at Winisk provided no useful results to the study that Ian Kay did; may be a function of the thick Paleozoic section there. If so, the nerby Sutton Inlier may have better outcrops.

Diamond Exploration Links
Example of Diamond Corridor from Northern Shield Resources Inc. Web site (http://www.northern-shield.com/OntDiamond.htm).
The Victor Project is located in the James Bay Lowlands of northern Ontario, approximately 90-km west of the coastal community of Attawapiskat.
(http://www.lydiadiamonds.ca/)
The Wolf Lake property is located near the town of Bannockburn, 50 kilometres south of Bancroft.
The Waxatike Property lies on the intersection of major 060° and 330° trending structural corridors. Kimberlite and kimberlite-related intrusions are known to occur at Coral Rapids which is located further northeast along the same trend. The structures are clearly visible on regional airborne magnetic maps.
The Temagami area of Northeastern Ontario is considered very prospective for diamond exploration. The Company's Temagami Diamond Claim properties are located west of the Timiskaming Structural Zone and straddle the Grenville Front, a deep rooted structure that separates the thick Precambrian Superior craton from the Grenville Province, a cratonized accreted mobile belt
Coral Rapids: Geologically, Paleozoic rocks of the James Bay Lowlands and Archean rocks of the Superior Province craton underlie the property. Structurally, this property is located exactly at the intersection between two major deep-seated crustal fault zones, the NE-SW Kapuskasing Structural Zone (KSZ) and the Lake Timiskaming Fault Zone (TFZ), both known to be favourable to host diamond-bearing kimberlitic intrusions.
