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 colour from dark grey, bright yellow, or deep purple to rusty red. The iron itself 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 item
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, deep purple, to rusty red. The iron itself is usually found in the form of magnetite (Fe3O4), hematite (Fe2O3), goethite (FeO(OH)), limonite (FeO(OH).n(H2O)) or siderite (FeCO3). Hematite is also known as "natural ore". The name refers to the early years of mining, when certain hematite ores contained 66% iron and could be fed directly into iron making blast
Hematite is an iron ore that contains iron in the form of Fe 2 O 3. It is a significant source of iron extraction. Hematite is a mineral that is paramagnetic. As a result, it can be drawn to an external magnetic field.
It is an iron oxide with a chemical composition of Fe 2 O 3. It is a common rock-forming mineral found in sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous rocks at locations throughout the world. Hematite is the most important ore of iron.
Hematite is a heavy and usually hard oxide mineral that constitutes the most important iron ore123. It has a chemical formula Fe2O3, indicating that it consists of two iron (Fe) atoms bonded to three oxygen (O) atoms4. Hematite has a high iron content and is one of the most abundant iron ores found on Earth43. It is often found in sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous rocks4. Hematite is mined in some of the largest mines in the world3. Hematite ore has naturally high iron content suitable for steelmaking5.
Features Of Iron Ore:
Iron ore is the main raw material that is used in the manufacturing of steel. 97% of the mined iron ore goes in the steel production. Nigeria has rich deposits of Iron Ore and is among the top 8 exporter of iron ore in the world.

Iron ore is the main raw material that is used in the manufacturing of steel. 98% of the mined iron ore goes in the steel production. India has rich deposits of Iron Ore and is among the top 10 exporter of iron ore in the world.
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 (Fe3O4) and hematite (Fe2O3). 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. Our monthly ability to export Iron Ore is of 2000-5000MT per month.
We are counted amongst the leading names of the company that is into offering Iron Ore. The products offered by us are of very fine quality. These products have rich content of iron as a result the users get relatively high amount of iron. Our products are very easily enriched as a result our clients save their precious time and money.
We supply Iron Ore in different types-

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 (Fe3O4, 72.4% Fe), hematite (Fe2O3, 69.9% Fe), goethite (FeO(OH), 62.9% Fe), limonite (FeO(OH)n(H2O), 55% Fe) or siderite (FeCO3, 48.2% Fe).
Ores containing very high quantities of hematite or magnetite (greater than about 60% iron) are known as natural ore or direct shipping ore, meaning they can be fed directly into iron-making blast furnaces. Iron ore is the raw material used to make pig iron, which is one of the main raw materials to make steel 98% of the mined iron ore is used to make steel.
