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 Mangnetie (Fe3O4, 72.4% Fe) hematite (Fe2O3 69.9%) goethite ((FeO(OH), 62.9% Fe) Limonite (FeO(OH) n(H2O) 55% Fe) siderite (FeCO3, 48.2%, Fe) Ores containing very high quantities of hematite or magnetite, typically greater than about 60% iron, are known as natural ore or direct shipping ore, and can be fed directly into iron-marking 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. In 2011 the Finacial Times quoted Christopher LaFemina, mining analyst at Barclays Capital, saying that iron ore is " More integral to the global economy than any other commodity except perhaps oil".

* Iron ore is found in nature in the form of rocks, mixed with other elements. By means of various industrial processes incorporating cutting-edge technology, iron ore is processed and then sold to steel companies. The primary use of iron ore (98%) is to make steel. The remaining 2% is used in various other applications, such as: powdered iron for certain types of steels, magnets, auto parts and catalysts. radioactive iron (iron 59) for medicine and as a tracer element in biochemical and metallurgical research 5.5 -6 mm 8 mm 10 mm 12 mm 16 mm 20 mm 25 mm 32 mm 36 mm 40 mm 50 mm
We have a unique iron ore resource footprint with large, high-quality resource bases in South Africa and India. Demand for iron ore globally is largely dependent on the state of the steel industry worldwide and, more specifically, on that of the steel manufacturing sector in China. Brat supplies leading quality lump ore and also produces premium fine ore from the mines of its associate company in Goa, India.
