Iron ores are rocks and minerals from which metallic iron can be economically extracted. The ores are usually rich in iron oxides and vary in color from dark grey, bright yellow, or deep purple to rusty red.
The iron is usually found in the form of
Mangnetie (Fe3O4, 72.4% Fe) hematite (Fe2O3 69.9%)
goethite ((FeO(OH), 62.9% Fe) Limonite (FeO(OH) n(H2O) 55% Fe) siderite (FeCO3, 48.2%, Fe)
Ores containing very high quantities of hematite or magnetite, typically greater than about 60% iron, are known as natural ore or direct shipping ore, and can be fed directly into iron-marking blast furnaces.
Iron ore is the raw material used to make pig iron which is one of the main raw materials to make steel 98% of the mined iron ore is used to make steel.
In 2011 the Finacial Times quoted Christopher LaFemina, mining analyst at Barclays Capital, saying that iron ore is " More integral to the global economy than any other commodity except perhaps oil".

Bauxite is a naturally occurring, heterogeneous material composed primarily of one or more aluminum hydroxide minerals, plus various mixtures of silica, iron oxide, titania, aluminosilicate, and other impurities in minor or trace amounts.
Bauxites are typically classified according to their intended commercial application:� � abrasive, cement, chemical, metallurgical, refractory, etc.
The bulk of world bauxite production (approximately 85%) is used as feed for the manufacture of alumina via a wet chemical caustic leach method commonly known as the Bayer process.
