The basics of iron ore
Iron ore is the fourth most abundant element on the earth’s crust after oxygen, silicon, and aluminium—it forms about 5% of it. It’s present in the form of rocks and minerals from which ore can be extracted. It’s most often found in the form of hematite and magnetite deposits, although goethite, limonite, and siderite deposits are also common. These deposits vary with the percentage of the iron content present. More content means better quality ore, less cost, and less time consumed during the iron extraction.
