The article presents the results of prospecting of diamond boring within the Kuhotsko-Bilska area, which is located on the north-western slope of the Ukrainian Shield.The data of the researches of 1995–2013 made it possible to form a new view on regional and local criteria and signs of diamond-bearing area of work, including a detailed study of the material composition of breccia, to distinguish among them explosive, to discover a new type of potentially diamond- bearing structures.According to all available geological and geophysical information, specific recommendations are given for direct searches for kimberlite or lamproite bodies within promising structures and breccia occurrence.
