Iron ore is the source of primary iron for the world's iron and steel industries. It is therefore essential for the production of steel, which in turn is essential to maintain a strong industrial base. Almost all (98%) iron ore is used in steelmaking. Iron ore is mined in about 50 countries. The seven largest of these producing countries account for about three-quarters of total world production. Australia and Brazil together dominate the world's iron ore exports, each having about one-third of total exports

Properties of Chrome Ore:
Chrome ore, primarily consisting of chromite (FeCrO), is rich in iron, chromium, and oxygen. is a mineral that serves as the main source of chromium. Chromium is a critical element used in various industries.
Appearance: It usually appears as dark gray to black with a metallic luster.
Hardness: It's relatively hard, with a Mohs hardness of 5.5.
Density: High density, which makes it useful in heavy-duty industrial applications.
Mining and Production:
Mining Process:
Open-pit Mining: Suitable for deposits near the surface.
Underground Mining: Used for deeper deposits.
Ore Processing: Chrome ore is processed into ferrochrome (an alloy of chromium and iron) through smelting in an electric arc furnace. This is a crucial material in stainless steel production.
Applications:
1.Stainless Steel: Chromium gives stainless steel its corrosion-resistant properties. Nearly 80% of the world's chromium is used in this sector.
2.Refractories: Chrome ore is used to manufacture heat-resistant bricks and lining for furnaces.
3.Chemical Industry: Used to produce chromium chemicals for pigments, tanning leather, and anodizing aluminum.
4.Foundry Sand: Processed chrome ore is used in mold-making during metal casting.
