The Athabasca basin, a historical fluvial siliciclastic basin with sediments from the Hudsonian mountains with the occasional rare marine sequence. [16] [dead link ] The Athabasca basin was formed during the Statherian or Paleohelikian 1.7 to 1.6 billion years ago when coarse fluvial and marine clastic sediments were laid down containing gold, copper, lead, zinc, and uranium oxides.
Mine at the Athabasca Oil Sands. According to the Alberta Energy and Utilities Board (EUB, now known as the Alberta Energy Regulator, the AER), Alberta's oil sands areas contain an ultimately recoverable crude bitumen resource of 50 billion cubic metres (315 billion barrels), with remaining established reserves of almost 28 billion cubic metres (174 billion barrels) at year-end 2004.

The formation is nowhere exposed in outcrop because its minerals are easily dissolved by water. Intact sequences are usually found at depths of more than 500 metres (1,640 ft) below ground surface, where they are protected by overlying aquitards. The potash deposits of Saskatchewan and North Dakota lie at depths exceeding 950 metres (3,120 ft).
