Geological and geophysical data compilation for the western Wabigoon and southern Abitibi subprovinces of the Superior Province, Ontario, Canada

Abstract

The geoscientific data presented in this paper are a foundation for experimental and exploration geological research in the western Wabigoon and southern Abitibi subprovinces of the Superior Province in Ontario, Canada. New geological interpretations, in map and GIS formats, along with compiled mineral deposit information, structural databases, magnetic susceptibility measurements, and reprocessed aeromagnetic grids have been integrated to provide a basis for comparative studies between the two geologically similar yet economically disparate greenstone belts near Dryden and Timmins, Ontario, Canada. Data were acquired from a wide range of publicly sourced data releases and enhanced through the addition of new observations. New geological maps presented for both regions represent the culmination of integrating the multi-disciplinary geoscientific database and recent geological interpretation. Data contained within this publication are co-submitted with Montsion et al. [1].
