Description:
Iron ores are rocks and minerals from which metallic iron can be
economically extracted. The ores are usually rich in iron oxides
and vary in color from dark grey, bright yellow, or deep purple to
rusty red. The iron is usually found in the form of magnetite,
hematite, goethite, limonite or siderite. The primary use of iron
ore is in the production of iron. Most of the iron produced is then
used to make steel. Steel is used to make automobiles, locomotives,
ships, beams used in buildings, furniture, paper clips, tools,
reinforcing rods for concrete, bicycles, and thousands of other
items. We have a team of experienced professionals who sourced for
quality iron ores that meets buyers satisfaction.
