Mineral containing enough iron to be a commercially viable source of the element for use in steelmaking Except for fragments of meteorites found on Earth, iron is not a free element; instead, it is trapped in the earth's crust in its oxidized form
When they dig iron out of the ground they do not find it on it's own but as a rock mixed up with other things (such as oxygen and sulphur) This rock is called iron ore
A mineral from which Iron is extracted It is of two types: - Containing Ferric Oxide(Haematite) or Ferro-Ferric Oxide(Magnatite)
A mineral that contains enough iron to be a factor in stainless steel production
Iron ore consisting of hydrated iron oxide minerals such as limonite and goethite formed by precipitation of groundwater flowing into wetlands. Bacterial action contributes to formation of the ore. Economically useful deposits can regrow within 20 years after harvesting. Bog iron was widely used as a source of iron in the past
