IRON ORE PRODUCTS

IRON ORES are rocks from which metallic iron can be extracted. It is one of the most abundant rock elements, constituting about 5% of the Earth's crust and is the 4th most common element in the world. It is abundant in Australia and mined mostly in Western Australia but is also common around the globe and is mined in around 50 countries. Almost 93% of Australia's identified iron ore resources are found in Western Australia, according to the Federal Government's Australian Mines Atlas. The quality of Australia's iron ore is considered to be some of the best in the world.

Iron ore is part of our everyday lives and our modern world would look completely different without it. 98% of world iron ore is used to make steel, which accounts for over 90% of all metals used in the world. Steel is used in building for so many things, from cars, trains and ships through to the high rise buildings in our cities and the bridges that connect us. Steel is used to create pipes, cars, ships, engines, roofs, nails, nuts, bolts, tools, machinery, in building & construction, to make white goods, in manufacturing, food cans and much more.
