Figure 3 shows a comparison of the IEA and WSD views and the related iron ore demand of between 400 and 600 mt by 2050, compared to about 160 mt in 2019. From the quantitative perspective, iron ore supply should not be an issue, with BF iron production falling from just under billion tonnes in 2019 to 665 mt by 2050 per IEA's SDS (see Figure 1).
Ore sorting involves identifying and removing waste and belowgrade ore to preconcentrate the process plant feed. It produces higher, more stable head feed grades that essentially 'preserve' the processing capacity for economic ore ore that holds higher value than the cost of processing. Ore sorting can reduce variability and deliver ...
Iron ore mining is the process of extracting iron from its natural form, which is found in rocks and minerals. The process begins by removing the topsoil from the area to be mined. This soil is then replaced and compacted to make sure that there is no waterlogging or runoff. The next step is to drill holes into the rock, so that explosives can ...

Mining. Most iron ores mined today comprise the iron oxide minerals hematite, Fe 2 O 3 (70% Fe); goethite, Fe 2 O 3 s H 2 O, (63% Fe); limonite, a mixture of hydrated iron oxides (up to 60% Fe); and magnetite, Fe 3 O 4 (72% Fe). As with most iron ore mines throughout the world, all the major Australian iron ore mines are open cut.

The annual production scheduling of open pit mines determines an optimal sequence for annually extracting the mineralized material from the ground. The objective of the optimization process is usually to maximize the total Net Present Value (NPV) of the operation. Production scheduling is typically a Mixed Integer Programming (MIP) type problem containing uncertainty in the geologic input data ...
or trucks) to a processing plant, where it undergoes multiple steps to create a shippable product. These steps vary with the respective raw material—for example, ore processing consists of crushing and grinding. For bulk material ( iron ore) once reconditioned, the product is stacked in stockyards and then it is transported to the port.
