Kimberlites were first found in this region during reconnaissance mapping in 1969 (Escher et al., 1970) and further examples discovered in 1972. Fig. 3 shows the localities of all known intrusions or groups of intrusions regarded as belonging to the suite. Since much of the area has not been examined no conclusions should be drawn from the distribution shown in this figure.
