The general focus of this document will be on metaliferrous ores represented by run-of-mine material described in category 3 above. An exception to the above discussion of mineral processing arises when the valuable component of the ore is extracted directly by chemical methods.
The specific beneficiation method employed depends on factors such as the mineralogy of the ore, the presence of specific impurities, and the desired iron content. Grinding and beneficiation are crucial steps in iron ore processing as they enhance the concentration of iron-bearing minerals and remove impurities.
