Oxidised pellets have become an indispensable high-quality charge for blast furnaces. Nevertheless, high-quality pellet feeds are becoming scarcer and scarcer. To broaden the range of sources of pellet feeds and reduce the production cost of pellets, more steel mills are predicted to use coarse iron ore fines with a relatively low iron …

The world's resources are dominated by low-grade ore, though current world production of iron ore is largely by supply from deposits of high-grade ore composed of either rocks of massive hematite or pisolitic goethite. World iron ore production in 2013 was 2.95 billion tonne, with the major producers being China, Australia, and Brazil.
