Two main forms of iron ore are hematite and magnetite. Hematite is weakly magnetic (a few fine grains will move slightly under a magnet), magnetite is strongly magnetic and will stick to a magnet. Goethite is the weathered version. What you show looks like an iron rich sedimentary rock.

1. Introduction. The majority of the mineable iron ore resource of the world comes from the sedimentary iron ore deposits, i.e., Banded Iron Formation along with magnetite bodies deposited by different mechanisms in diverse geological settings during the Archean to Paleoproterozoic age (Rosière et al., 2008, Zhang et al., 2014, Hagemann et al., 2015, Kou et al., 2017).

Iron ores can be grouped into types of similar geological occurrence, composition and structure. The following is a simplified classification which is based on genesis of the deposits and geological environment. It shows the main modes of occurrence of iron ores as well as it illustrates the varied geology of iron ore deposits.

Geology. The ore deposit at Kiruna is part of larger province of iron ore province stretching wes-east from Kiruna to the Finnish border. This province include thus also the ores at Svappavaara and Pajala. Malmberget is a large notable southward outlier of this province. The largest ore bodies in the province are of iron oxide-apatite type yet skarn iron deposits exists at Masugnsbyn and ...

Good luck getting permission to mine in Lake O today, though. Edit: The Proesser Iron Mine was just off Iron Mountain Blvd not far north of the lake. There's a park there now.

In 2019, Kiruna produced 14.7Mt of iron ore products. The production in 2018 and 2017 was 15Mt and 14.8Mt, respectively. The mine produced 50,000t of ore feed material a day in June 2020. Mining at the site was briefly halted in 2019 after an earthquake of magnitude 4.1, the country's biggest-ever, occurred in May that year.

Iron ore is a mineral substance which, when heated in the presence of a reductant, will yield metallic iron (Fe). It almost always consists of iron oxides, the primary forms of which are magnetite (Fe 3 O 4) and hematite (Fe 2 O 3). Iron ore is the source of primary iron for the world's iron and steel industries.

Iron Ore. Iron (Fe) is a metallic element which constitutes about 5% of the Earth's crust and is the fourth most abundant element in the crust. Iron ores are rocks from which metallic iron can be economically extracted. The principal iron ores are hematite (Fe 2 O 3) and magnetite (Fe 3 O 4 ).

EDR attributable to magnetite deposits have decreased by 1%, likely due to re-assessment of projects and inactivity in the magnetite industry.
