The Wabasco tar sands are the fourth largest deposit of tar sands[1] (also known as oil sands) located in Alberta, Canada.[2][3][4] The Wabasca deposit is deposited southwest of the larger Athabasca tar sands deposit.

Notes

  1. Wikipedia has a lot of information about tar sands.
  2. Bruce Biossat. An oil-hungry world eyes Alberta's sand, Rome News-Tribune, 1973-11-23. Retrieved on 2010-06-22. “Great as is the Athabasca spread, where real scientific exploration began just 60 years ago, it's not the full story. Alberta hold three other oil sands deposits -- Wabasca just southwest of Athabasca, Cold Lake to the south, Peace River to the west.”
