Hematite (The Bloodstone Ore)
The ore available at the time was taconite, a low-grade variety of iron ore that had been regarded as waste rock since its discovery in 1870. Chemists recognized the need to upgrade the tenor of ore. The …

Past and potential ferrous (iron) mining projects in Wisconsin
Because the iron ore in this deposit is of lower grade than the natural hematitic ores previously mined in northern Wisconsin, the ore must be concentrated and processed into taconite pellets prior to shipping to a smelter. The Gogebic Range was first mined in the late 1880s and supported at least a dozen underground mines in the Hurley area.

Mineralogical, chemical, and physical characteristics of iron ore
Unenriched primary iron formation is a major source of iron ore in many parts of the world, especially the PRC and North America and includes both magnetite- and hematite-rich iron formations. In North America, the term taconite is used to describe magnetite- and hematite-rich BIF-GIF ore with > 30 wt% Fe (James, 1954, Neal, 2000). …

22.4: Beneficiation
The iron ore magnetite, Fe 3 O 4, is ferrimagnetic. It can be separated from abundant deposits of taconite by grinding to a fine slurry in water. Passing this suspension over powerful electromagnets removes the Fe 3 O 4, more than doubling the concentration of Fe. Both the physical beneficiation processes just described produce large quantities ...

Iron Ore Processing, General
Increasing iron ore demand, coupled with the depletion of high-grade hematite ores in the United States, after World War II led to development of lower-grade iron ore sources, mainly the utilization of magnetite and taconite.
