Open-Pit Mining: Open-pit mining is employed when the iron ore deposit is close to the surface or forms a large, easily accessible ore body. In this method, large-scale excavation machinery, such as excavators and haul trucks, is used to remove the overburden (surface material) and expose the ore deposit.
Iron Ore Mineralogy
They may be removed in the beneficiation plant by washing, magnetic or gravity separation, before further processing of the ore. The most profitable, selective mining becomes possible by identifying regions of low- or high-grade ore in the mine. XRD is also used to detect iron-bearing mineral impurities that are difficult to process.
