important lithium ore mineral. A typical run of mine ore can contain 1-2% Li 2 O, while a typical spodumene concentrate suitable for lithium carbonate production contains 6-7% Li 2 O (75% - 87% spodumene). Higher grade concentrates with 7.6% Li 2 O and low iron content are used in ceramics and more demanding industries.

The iron ore processing industry produces usable concentrations of iron-bearing material by removing nonferrous rock (gangue) from low-grade ore. In the United States, predominant iron ore is taconite which is a hard, banded, low-grade ore. Ninety-nine percent of the crude iron ore produced in the United States is taconite.

Magnetite. Karara comprises a large-scale, long-life magnetite orebody amenable to bulk mining and processing. Magnetite ore has lower iron content (34-36% Fe) than hematite ore (58-64% Fe). It must be upgraded by a complex ore treatment process (beneficiation) to produce a high-grade (+65% Fe) concentrate for steelmaking.
