Abstract 
This Open File is a written summary of samples collected for indicator mineral and geochemical analysis during three summer field seasons (2014-2016) for the Hudson-Ungava Surficial Mapping and Geochemistry Activity. The activity was carried out under the larger Geo-Mapping for Energy and Minerals Program (GEM 2) Hudson-Ungava Core Zone project. Field data and colour photographs will be presented for samples collected as part of a reconnaissance-scale till sampling and surficial mapping activity carried out by the Geological Survey of Canada across Quebec and Labrador (NTS map sheets 23-I and 23-P) in collaboration with the Ministère de l’Énergie et des Ressources naturelles due Québec (MERNQ). This report also includes field data for previously collected samples from earlier GSC programs in 1986 and 1987 to allow for a comparison to recent samples.
