Iron Ore is a type of rock that contains iron minerals, mainly hematite and magnetite. It is a vital raw material for the production of steel. The ores are rich in iron oxides, which range in colour from dark grey to bright yellow to deep purple to rusty red. The most common iron minerals are magnetite, hematite, goethite, limonite, and ...

The real-time method currently used for iron ore classification is manual inspection of drill chips and core on-site by a trained geologist. This method however is highly subjective and grade estimation is only about 35% correct (pers. communication and pers. experience within the iron ore industry).

Hematite is the world's most important ore of iron. Although magnetite contains a higher percentage of iron and is easier to process, hematite is the leading ore because it is more abundant and present in deposits in many parts of the world. Hematite is mined in some of the largest mines in the world.

Identification and classification of imported iron ores according to their production countries and brands are required for quality control and safety in the iron ore trade. In this work, a method based on laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) combined with principal component analysis (PCA) and scaled

The national estimates for iron ore since 2010 are reported in two categories, namely: Million tonnes of iron ore, and; Million tonnes of contained iron. Total Australian Ore Reserves of iron ore reported in compliance with the JORC Code were estimated to be 23 106 Mt in 2018 (Table 1), representing 47% of Economic …

The classification accuracy is for the N3 model, which shows better predictive capabilities than the KNN model for the classification of iron ore. Therefore, LIBS technique combined with N3 could be a promising method for real-time online, rapid analysis in mining and mineral processing industries.

Characteristics of ten of the world's metallogenic provinces hosting iron oxide Cu-Au (IOCG) deposits have been critically assessed, including their geological and tectonothermal evolution, alteration-mineralisation parageneses, and ore geochemistry.
