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.

1 IRON ORE DEPOSITS OF INDIA
These rocks are folded and occur as a series of ridges capped with thick deposits of hematite ore. Alternate bands of hematite and jasper (BHJ) occur. Iron ores exhibit a variety of textures and contain varying proportions of iron as follows:-. Massive, compact ores commonly capping ridges contain 66% to 70 % iron.
