The Targeted Geoscience Initiative (TGI-4) is a collaborative federal geoscience program that provides industry with the next generation of geoscience knowledge and innovative techniques to better detect buried mineral deposits, thereby reducing some of the risks of exploration. As part of TGI-4, the Westwood deposit located in Quebec was studied through a PhD thesis of the senior author in collaboration between the GSC, Iamgold Corporation, the INRS-ETE, and the MERN. In the course of the study a series of 748 samples were collected, over a three year span (2011 to 2013) and were analysed at ActLabs, in order to characterize the geological setting, hydrothermal footprint and metal signature of the Westwood hydrothermal system. This open file releases the geochemical results and related information associated to these samples.
