The Siberian Shield was first postulated as a possible source for kimberlite pipes and diamonds in 1941 as the attendant geology was similar in many respects to central South Africa where diamonds were first identified in 1880.
Alluvial diamonds were found on the River Vilyui, central Siberia in 1949 and in 1954, the Zarnitza (Dawn) kimberlite pipe was discovered in the Upper Markha River Valley.
Over the past 46 years, around 800 kimberlites have been discovered in Siberia, 150 are believed to be diamondiferous and 14 are currently being mined or have been mined.
