Marie Bay lies on the part of Melville Island that is in the Northwest Territories.
The Eastern part of the Island is in Nunavut.
Oil sands deposits were found in the Marie Bay region.[1]
The oil sands deposit are estimated to hold 100 to 250 million barrels of oil.[4][5][6]

Melville Island's coastline is gouged with many large inlets and bays, and ranges in elevation from low beaches to 300-metre cliffs. Its interior topography consists of three main sections. The first is a plateau formed by Dundas Peninsula and the two promontories between Barry Bay and Purchase Bay; the second region is a low plain in the northeast, which extends from Marie Bay east to Long Point, and from Sabine Peninsula north of the land between Eldridge Bay and Sherard Bay; and the third section is a folded upland lying between the first two regions.

The 100 million barrel tar sand deposit at Marie Bay (Trettin and Hills, 1966) on western Melville Island is held in a possible stratigraphic trap in the Bjorne Formation where conventional oil has been highly degraded by exposure at surface.

Petroleum exploration of Canada's High Arctic began with a well drilled on each of Melville, Cornwallis and Bathurst islands between 1961 and 1963. Seismic exploration however, lagged behind and Panarctic Oils Ltd. did not shoot the first line, north from Marie Bay on Melville Island until 1968.
