Merge proposal[edit]

I propose merging the Martinson mine article into the Martison mine article. I think the Martinson mine article was created based on a misnamed location, and that the correct name is actually Martison. Here are the pieces of evidence I found:

The main reference for the Martinson mine article is a GSWA Mineral Resource Bulletin listing Tantalum resources internationally. Page 5 of the PDF (or page 67 of the referenced chapter of this bulletin) describes a Tantalum deposit holding phosphate resources near Hearst, Ontario, and shows MCK Mining Corporation as the owner. This served as a source for the creation of the original article in 2013.

The Preliminary Economic Assessment issued in 2022 by Fox River Resources Corporation (accessible here: https://fox-river.ca/project/) describes their flagship phosphate deposit of Martison near Hearst, Ontario. Table 1.1 on page 5 of the report explains that MCK Mining Corporation was the previous owning entity of this deposit and performed drillings in 1999 and 2002. MCK later changed its name to Phoscan.

Now, the Martison mine article lists one reference: a 2012 Corporate Presentation by Phoscan of their Martison phosphate project, located near Hearst, Ontario.

Given those 3 documents, it is reasonable to conclude that those 3 phosphate mining projects are indeed the same. It was first an MCK-owned project mine, which was mislabelled on the GSWA bulletin with an extra -n as Martinson. The name of the owning entity then later changed from MCK to Phoscan and then to Fox Resources. But the proper name of this mining deposit should be 'Martison' without an n.

This is why I propose merging the Martinson mine article into the Martison mine article. A merge would not cause any article-size or weighting problems in Martison.
