Iron ore Wikipedia
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.

Iron ore BHP
There are four main types of iron ore deposit: massive hematite, which is the most commonly mined, magnetite, titanomagnetite, and pisolitic ironstone. These ores vary in colour from dark grey, bright yellow, or deep purple to rusty red. Iron is responsible for the red colour in many of our rocks and the deep red sands of the Australian deserts, and is a key ingredient in steelmaking.

How the global steel industry is cutting out coal The
May 01, 2021 Companies like SSAB have developed plans to eliminate coal from their steel plants. In place of coke, derived from coal, the company plans to use clean hydrogen. Like carbon, hydrogen can also strip oxygen from iron ore to make the pure iron needed in steel-making. But in this reaction, the resulting “emission” is H20.
