Iron ore is a mineral substance which, when heated in the presence of a reductant, will yield metallic iron (Fe). It almost always consists of iron oxides, the primary forms of which are magnetite (Fe3O4) and hematite (Fe2O3). Iron ore is the source of primary iron for the world's iron and steel industries. It is therefore essential for the production of steel, which in turn is essential to maintain a strong industrial base. Our monthly ability to export Iron Ore is of 2000-5000MT per month.
We are counted amongst the leading names of the company that is into offering Iron Ore. The products offered by us are of very fine quality. These products have rich content of iron as a result the users get relatively high amount of iron. Our products are very easily enriched as a result our clients save their precious time and money. We supply Iron Ore in different types- Iron Ore Lumps (Hematite & Magnetite) Iron Ore Fines (Hematite & Magnetite)
Iron ores are rocks and minerals from which metallic iron can be economically extracted. The ores are usually rich in iron oxides and vary in color from dark grey, bright yellow, or deep purple to rusty red. The iron is usually found in the form of magnetite (Fe3O4, 72.4% Fe), hematite (Fe2O3, 69.9% Fe), goethite (FeO(OH), 62.9% Fe), limonite (FeO(OH)n(H2O), 55% Fe) or siderite (FeCO3, 48.2% Fe). 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.

Our High-grade Iron Ore from South Africa is renowned for its exceptional purity and consistent quality, making it an ideal choice for steel production and various industrial applications. Meticulously extracted and processed, our iron ore ensures optimal performance and reliability in every use, meeting the stringent standards of the global market.
Our iron ore is hematite. Hematite is a reddish-brown iron oxide mineral with the chemical formula Fe2O3. Hematite ores in Nigeria usually contain between 50% and 70% iron, making them ideal for iron ore production. Commodity 1 provides Iron ore directly from the mine site to the global market. There are no middlemen involved, only our staff on the ground. We strive to organize smooth and transparent transactions. We believe in building long-term relationships with our customers. According to a report by the World Steel Association, global steel production is expected to reach 1.8 billion tons in 2025, from 1.6 billion tons in 2020. This increase in steel production will increase demand for iron ore. The global iron market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.5% between 2022 and 2027.
