IRON ORE1

U.S. Geological Survey, Mineral Commodity Summaries, January 2021 . IRON ORE . 2020 was $84.73 per ton in April compared with the low of $76.16 per ton in January 2019. The prices trended upwards owing to a reduced supply of higher grade iron ore products, spurred partially by closures of pelletizing plants in Brazil.
