13. Characteristics supporting the association with carbonatite are: multiple carbonate generations with differing compositions, breccias healed by carbonate, comb-texture of carbonate, amygdales of dolomite, the stable isotope composition of carbonate; metasomatic alteration, fenitization and carbonatization of the associated rocks; the occurrence of apatite, fluorite, phlogopite, valleriite and baddeleyite.

The Precambrian Halloran Complex has been subdivided into the following formations: (1) Silver Lake Peak Formation, mostly quartzofeldspathic gneisses; (2) Cree Camp Formation, quartzites and metarhyolites; (3) Riggs Formation, metamorphosed carbonate rocks. This complex is intruded by dioritic rocks. Regional metamorphism produced parageneses of the almandine amphibolite facies. Metablastesis was a major phenomenon, partial fusion was a local one. The rocks are, therefore, metatexites. Regional metamorphism was followed by diaphthoresis, accentuated in a zone of dislocation.
