Iron ore production in Michigan had a humble beginning. Prior to 1840, bog ore found in swamps was used in charcoal furnaces to produce pig iron. This iron ore was of low grade and deposits were small, thus limiting the size and advance of the industry. It was not until discovery of the iron formations in 1844, near the City of Negaunee that iron production in Michigan assumed any importance ...

Minnesota leads the nation with 70% of the production, while Michigan produces most of the rest (25%). More than 98% of the iron ore that is shipped in the world is used to make steel, while the rest is used in pigments, chemicals, or in other, minor uses. Natural ores were the primary type of ores mined prior to World War II. In the early 19th century, settlers moving westward from the ...

Minnesota''s iron ore was actually discovered while prospectors were searching for gold. Since the object of their search was gold, the iron was ignored. It turned out the iron would become much more valuable to northern Minnesota than the small amount of gold found. Iron ore was discovered on the three iron ranges at different times. The first ore shipped from the Vermilion Range was in 1884 ...

In many magnetite iron ores, the major gangue mineral is quartz, which is harder and more difficult to grind than magnetite. In the ground product, the average size of unliberated quartz particles is usually larger than that of magnetite. Therefore, vibrating screens are usually used to screen out unliberated coarse quartz particles, which can be returned to the ball mills for regrinding.

The Range was discovered in 1866 and ore shipments began in 1892. After 120 years of production mines are still going strong. In 2010, over 35 million metric tons of iron taconite pellets were produced. While the Mesabi has had its ups and downs, it has successfully transitioned from dozens of underground mines to large open pits, and from highgrade direct shipping iron ore to iron pellets ...

Iron ore can be defined on the basis of its iron content into lowgrade ore (taconite), which commonly contains 25 to 35% iron, and highgrade ore, which contains 50 to 70% iron. Ironbearing ore minerals include oxides, carbonates, silicates, and, in some cases, sulfides. In Wisconsin, the most important iron ore minerals are oxides: magnetite (Fe 3 O 4), hematite (Fe 2 O 3), and goethite ...
