Mining Process

1. Drilling and Blasting

The blasting team prepares the designated area for mining to break up the rock and facilitate ore extraction.

‍

‍

2. Heavy Equipment Operation

Heavy equipment is used to mine and haul iron ore from the pit to the crusher.

‍

3. Iron Ore Is Crushed

Large raw material is crushed into smaller material to be processed in the mill.

‍

4. Iron Separation

After leaving the mill, iron ore is sent through the spirals where water and gravity are used to separate the heavier iron ore from the lighter impurities.

‍

‍

5. Drying Process

The high-grade iron ore is dried to remove all moisture prior to shipping.

‍

‍

6. High-Tension Magnetic Removal Process

The dried iron ore  is put through the high-tension magnetic process to remove final impurities.

‍

‍

7. Train Loading

High-quality, dry iron ore is loaded onto a train and transported to port for shipping.

‍

8. High-Efficiency Steel Production

Iron ore is shipped to steel producers where low-waste steel is fabricated and used globally.
