Most iron ores mined today comprise the iron oxide minerals hematite, Fe 2 O 3 (70% Fe); goethite, Fe 2 O 3 s H 2 O, (63% Fe); limonite, a mixture of hydrated iron oxides (up to 60% Fe); and magnetite, Fe 3 O 4 (72% Fe). As with most iron ore mines throughout the world, all the major Australian iron ore mines are open cut.

How Is Platinum Extracted, Mined and Refined? While the term "made" might bring to mind human creation, platinum is very much a product of nature, extracted rather than manufactured. The process of bringing platinum from its ore state to a usable form is complex and requires significant technological intervention, but it starts with …

But How is Iron Ore Mined? Iron ore mining is relatively simple compared to other minerals and metals that require underground tunnels and complex chemical-drive processes, like gold. Iron ore is generally sourced from open pits on the planet's surface and typically requires only crushing before it is ready for the smelter.

Even these ores are found in small quantities, and many tons of material must be mined to produce just a few ounces of silver. At least 80 percent of the world's silver is produced instead as a by-product of mining for other metals such as gold, copper, lead, zinc, and uranium. Primary and secondary sources of silver ore.

It has been the dominant iron ore mined in Australia since the early 1960s. Approximately 96% of Australia's iron ore exports are high-grade hematite, the bulk of which has been mined from deposits in the Hamersley province of Western Australia. The Brockman Iron Formation in this province is the most significant host for high-grade …
