Dec 07, 2005 (A Wilson) - The Martison Lake Carbonatite Complex occurs near the north margin of the Archean craton adjacent to the younger cover rocks of the Hudson Bay Lowlands. The complex is overlain by a thin mantle of Cretacewous sediments and 30-45 m of coarse glacial till. The carbonatite has a strong magnetic signature that is readily recognizable on regional airborne maps. The Martison Carbonatite complex is one of a number of alkaline intrusions including carbonatite, kimberlite and alnoite complexes that intrude the Archean shield along the Kapuskasing Structure.

Dec 07, 2005 (A Wilson) - The deposit is hosted by a weathered carbonatite intrusion hosting residual apatite ores. The deposit is covered by 30-50 m of coarse glacial till. A thin veneer of Cretaceous sediments is preserved over parts of the deposit. The ore zone consists of both unconsolidated residuum and hard, recemented varieties of apatite ore. The B Zone anomaly residuum appears to have good lateral continuity and reaches a thickness in excess of 50 m.
