Global output of iron ore increased by 6.8% in 2021 and reached 2,477 Mt. Australia is the most important producing country, mining 37% of all iron ore globally (down from 40% in 2020). Brazil, the second most important country, accounts for 16% of global production (down from 17%) and China, the third largest producer, for 11% (up from 10%).

 — The efficiency of iron ore mining plays a pivotal role in advancing both low-carbon transition and green recovery initiatives. A key focus in these endeavors is the imperative to improve iron ore mining efficiency, emphasizing the reduction of waste and environmental impact (Tang et al., 2023).

Key View. Global iron ore production growth will accelerate over 2021-2025 after stagnating during the previous five years. Continued, albeit slower growth in Australia, faster growth in Brazil...

 — Despite gold's price slump, strong copper and iron ore prices lifted MINING.COM's ranking of the world's 50 most valuable miners to a new record high of $1.35 trillion.

 — Brazil mining giant Vale has regained its crown as the world's top iron ore producer after losing it temporarily to Rio Tinto due to intense rain season in top mining state Minas Gerais.

 — Located in WA's world class Pilbara mining region, the Iron Bridge Project is a joint venture between Fortescue Metals Group (ASX: FMG) subsidiary FMG Magnetite and Formosa Steel IB, that will deliver high grade 67% Fe magnetite concentrate product.

 — The new process lowers emissions in mining and steelmaking with high-quality iron ore recovered at a lower cost compared to other Carajás operations. Arcelor Mittal Nippon Steel's Dubana plant is installing SuperStacks to increase production with improve grinding efficiency and pipeline protection. The SuperStacks will replace hydrocyclone ...

 — In the first study, published in Advanced Energy Materials, the scientists explain how they successfully engineered iron-based DRX cathodes by modifying the electron storage process, achieving...

Our iron ore operations include three hematite mining hubs in the Pilbara and our Iron Bridge magnetite mine. Our three hubs are connected by 760 kilometres of rail to Herb Elliott Port and the Judith Street Harbour towage infrastructure in Port Hedland.

 — The iron ore price rocketed to record highs this year, reaching $237.57 a tonne in May as global demand accelerated amid lingering supply threats – a ripple effect of the pandemic – but has...
