PROCESSING STAGES Fe

Ore processing diagramSimplified view of the processing stages

  1. Open-pit extraction of ore and ferruginous quartzite.

  2. Preparing mined material for processing.

  3. Grinding quartzite for beneficiation.

  4. Recovering the iron-bearing fraction.

  5. Producing beneficiated iron ore material.

  6. Producing fluxed and unfluxed pellets.

  7. Dispatching finished products to customers.

High-grade ore containing 50–56% iron is dispatched separately, directly after extraction.
