Essentially new method of allocation of diamondiferous kimberlite pipes against surrounding rocks is proposed. The method is based on interpretation of multispectral satellite images LANDSAT-7 ETM+ and allows to localize the most promising areas within perspective sites revealed by other methods. It was demonstrated that application of GIS-technologies for complex use of geological, geophysical, mineralogical data and results of interpretation of satellite images is efficient in forecasting kimberlite diamond deposits in both studied areas and poorly explored territories.
