Iron Ore

Iron ore is a relatively abundant metallic element (it composes about 5% of the Earth’s crust) and the main raw material used in steelmaking. Around 98% of global mined iron ore is used to make pig iron, which is an intermediate product of the steel-making process. The remaining 2% is used in several applications, such as production of cement, printing inks, plastics, cosmetics (eye shadow), artistic colors, fertilizer ingredients, and pigments. Currently, iron ore is mined in over 50 countries; however, the bulk of production comes from Australia, Brazil and China.
