Iron ore is Australia's largest source of export revenue, worth $117 billion (approximately US$85 billion) in 2017. While the price of iron ore has been moderating some of the growth in export revenue in recent years, the volume of Australia's iron ore exports is continuing to grow, albeit at lower rates. In 2020 shipments of iron ore from Australia increased by 31 million

Iron ore is a mineral substance which, when heated in the presence of a reductant, will yield metallic iron (Fe). It almost always consists of iron oxides, the primary forms of which are magnetite (Fe 3 O 4) and hematite (Fe 2 O 3). Iron ore is the source of primary iron for the world's iron and steel industries.

Exploration geologists are now developing new ore-deposit models to improve the chances of finding such "environmentally friendly" ore bodies. The copper ore bodies mined from 1911 to 1938 at Kennecott, Alaska (now within the Wrangell–St. Elias National Park and Preserve), are examples of potentially environmentally "friendly" ore ...
