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.
