About iron ore Iron ore concentrate can be sold on its own or used to make various products containing iron. In essence, iron ore are rocks and minerals containing high levels of metallic iron that in turn can be extracted and processed, for instance into iron ore concentrate through a benefication process. Besides being an abundant metal, iron ore is an essential component for the global iron and steel industries. The company produces and sells iron ore concentrate, and primarily serves steel producers and participants in the chemical industry. Iron ore is one of the main materials used to produce steel – steel being perhaps one of the most important commodities on a world basis. Approximately 98% of iron ore is used in steelmaking. The iron ore almost always consist of iron oxides, of which the primary forms are magnetite (Fe3O4) and hematite (Fe2O3). As iron ore is not strong enough for construction or other purposes alone, it is alloyed with other elements such as tungsten, manganese, nickel, vanadium and chromium to make steel with a selection of qualities such as strength, oxidization or brittleness.
