Geology

The Ice River complex is an alkaline ultramafic some 18 kilometres
in length, with a total exposure of 29 square kilometers. Within
the complex, two distinct suites are present: an early, rhythmically
layered, feldspar-free intrusion of jacupirangite, ijolite and urtite,
cored by a carbonatite plug and crosscut by carbonatite dykes rich
in mafic silicates and oxides; and a later zoned and crosscutting
syenitic series, associated with a zeolite and feldspar-bearing carbonatite.
The alkaline rocks intruded Cambrian and Ordovician shales and carbonates
of the Chancellor, Ottertail and McKay Formations. Contact metamorphism
of the enclosing sedimentary rocks resulted in the formation of hornfels
and skarns. Some limited soda metasomatism also occurred. The complex
and its host rocks were deformed and subjected to low-grade regional
metamorphism during the Columbian orogeny.
