Results of the specialized analysis of remote materials (zone space images «Modis» and «Landsat»,
digital terrain models GTOPO30 and SRTM, pattern of a river network) for North-West territories of
Canada within the purpose of allocation of different-depth focuses of activation's features which in aggregate
provides kimberlites migration from a mantle to a surface are resulted in article. The special
cosmostructural scheme where the favorable structural factors detected at studying of the reference diamond-
bearing areas of the world are reflected, is made by results of the analysis. Computer summation
of this information allows to allocate anomalies where occurrence of focal energo-dynamic processes in
earth crust is the most probable. These sites are offered to be considered as the perspective areas for mantle
magmas (including kimberlite) and fluids migration in earth's crust to a surface.
Keywords: kimberlites, diamond-bearing potential, remote sensing materials, remote prognosis
