Iron ore is a mineral substance that is extracted from the earth's crust and is used in the production of steel. The process of mining iron ore can be divided into two main stages: exploration and extraction.
1.Exploration: The first stage in the mining process involves identifying areas that are rich in iron ore. This is done through geological surveys, aerial surveys, and drilling tests to determine the quality and quantity of the ore.
2.Extraction: Once a suitable site has been identified, the extraction process can begin. There are two main methods of extracting iron ore: open-pit and underground mining.
Open-pit mining: This method involves excavating large open pits in the ground, which are then used to extract the ore. The ore is usually extracted by blasting and then transported to a processing plant for further refining.
Underground mining: This method is used when the ore is located deep underground. Underground mines can be accessed by tunnels or shafts, and the ore is extracted using a variety of methods including drilling, blasting, and cutting.
Once the ore has been extracted, it is then transported to a processing plant where it is crushed, sorted, and processed to remove impurities and prepare it for use in steel production.
