This open file reports the chemical compositions of Fe oxide mineral grains (mainly magnetite and minor hematite) from the ferromagnetic fraction of bedrock and till from the iron oxide copper-gold (IOCG) Sue-Dianne deposit in the Great Bear magmatic zone, NWTand from till around the Pipe magmatic Ni-Cu deposit in the Thompson Nickel Belt, Manitoba. These data were collected in support of research by the DIVEX research network and the Geological Survey of Canada into the use of magnetite as an indicator mineral for mineral exploration in glaciatedterrain.
