Low-grade ore is a term applied to iron-rich rocks with cut-off grades in the range of 25�30% Fe. It was the main supply of iron ore for many centuries of the World's early history of production of iron. Since the 1950s North America's main supply has been low-grade ore. The dominant economic iron mineral in low-grade ore is magnetite.
The BFS envisaged a 100Mtpa integrated iron ore mining operation over an estimated mine life of 40 years. The proposed project involved the development of two open-pits, the Ouéléba pit (53Mtpa) and Pic de Fon pit (47Mtpa) at Simandou South, and the construction of a 630km railway and a port, for a total investment of £13.6bn ($20bn).
Sedibeng Iron Ore Pty Limited is an IMR subsidiary operating close to Postmasburg in the Northern Cape Province of South Africa. Acquired in 2018 by IMR, the mine has been in production since 2012.

However, the iron ore from Kashenyi hill has lower iron content (about 6l% Fe) and higher gangue content (5% SiO 2 and 6% Al 2 O 3) at low concentration of the deleterious elements (0.02% P and 0.003% S). According to commercial standards for crude iron ores, this ore can be defined as medium-grade ore.

The Lucin mining district is in the northern third of the Pilot Range of western Utah and eastern Nevada. The district has produced since 1870 over three million dollars of low grade copper and iron ore primarily of malachite, chrysocolla, goethite and limonite. Mining operations reached a high point in the early nineteen hundreds but because of high percentrages of alumina and silica, milling ...
Mining of Algeria. The main mining centres are at Ouenza and Djebel Onk near the eastern border with Tunisia and at El-Abed in the west. Extensive deposits of high-grade iron ore are worked at Ouenza, and major deposits of medium-grade ore exist at Gara Djebilet near Tindouf.Nearly all the high-grade iron ore from the open-cut works at Ouenza is used to supply the domestic steel industry.
Under the conditions on the Gogebic iron range, Michigan, where much of the capping carries 40 percent or more iron, a small amount of dilution does not seriously affect the grade of ore mined and the dilution from this source may offset tonnage of ore lost; the net result is therefore likely to be approximately 100 percent tonnage recovery ...
Most ore in the West Pilbara contains iron grades between 50 per cent and 58 per cent, meaning it would be subject to the sort of price penalties that hurt Mineral Resources' Pilbara division ...

SHANGHAI, Oct 9 (SMM) - Mount Gibson announced in early October that it will suspend the production of Shine mine due to the large discounts on low and medium-grade ore prices and the sharp increase in ocean freight (the freight from Geraldton Port to China has risen from less than $15 to more than $30), in order to reduce expenditures and ensure storage capacity.
However, iron ore pricing is less likely to be affected as India mainly exports low-grade iron ore, while China, the US and Europe need medium to high-grade ones. The inventories of iron ores in India's ports also remain very high right now, she added.
4.1.1 Iron Ore Mining There are two basic methods of mining iron ore. These are: • Surface mining or open-pit mining • Underground or shaft mining To be competitive, iron mining must be done on a very large scale. Surface mining is the preferred choice, although there are exceptions. Small, low-capacity mines have rapidly disappeared.
Australia replacement projects boost high-grade supply. Australian iron ore shipments are expected to increase to 977 million mt in 2025, with the average iron content expected to rise thanks to more supply from high-grade mines and a reduction in lower grade product.

"Iron ore prices are mainly supported by structural contradiction of supplies, there's shortage in medium and high-grade products," Zhuo Guiqiu, analyst with Jinrui Capital, told Reuters.
63.5/63% Fe grades, high-grade 65% and a low-grade 58% Fe grade, as well as a daily 1% per Fe content differential for iron ore fines 60-63.5% to help clarify the normalization process. Platts also publishes daily freight netbacks based on the most liquid
In oxidized iron ores, it is usually easier to obtain a higher-Fe grade concentrate from specularite using magnetic separation, because its grains are better crystallized. In Figure 9.12, SLon magnetic separators are used for processing a specularite ore containing about 35% Fe. The run-of-mine ore is mainly composed of specularite and quartz.
In Brazil, company have developed the Minas-Rio operation ( ownership), consisting of an open- pit mine and beneficiation plant, which produces a high grade pellet feed product, with low levels of contaminants. The iron ore is transported through a 529-kilometre pipeline to the iron ore handling and shipping facilities at the port of Açu.
