The Marquette Iron Range is a deposit of iron ore located in Marquette County, Michigan in the United States. The towns of Ishpeming and Negaunee developed as a result of mining this deposit. A smaller counterpart of Minnesota's Mesabi Range , this is one of two iron ranges in the Lake Superior basin that are in active production as of 2018.

The East Texas iron ore belt refers to a significant region in East Texas characterized by the presence of iron ore deposits, primarily associated with the Weches greensand formation. This area has historical importance in the mining industry, contributing to the supply of iron ore in the United States. Although many counties in this region ...
In 1850s, iron ore was discovered in near Eston in the Cleveland Hills of Yorkshire, by John Vaughan and his mining geologist John Marley. [3] [better source needed] Vaughan and his partner Henry Bolckow, over the next decades, would build an iron and steel works, which extended, by 1864, over 700 acres (280 ha) along the banks of the River Tees.
Elemental iron is virtually absent on the Earth's surface except as iron-nickel alloys from meteorites and very rare forms of deep mantle xenoliths.Although iron is the fourth most abundant element in Earth's crust, composing about 5% by weight, [4] the vast majority is bound in silicate or, more rarely, carbonate minerals, and smelting pure iron from these minerals would require a prohibitive ...
The ironstone quarries continued to be worked intermittently: in 1884 complaints were received that Pelch Lane was being badly cut up by the constant haulage of iron ore down the narrow lane. [6] The iron works are marked as disused on a map published in 1888, [11] and the next year they were dismantled and the machinery sold off. [18]

By comparing the iron content of the primary bog iron ore found in the purpose built 'furnace hut' with the iron remaining in that slag, an estimated 3 kg iron bloom was produced. At a yield of at best 20% from what is a good iron rich ore, this suggests the workers processing the ore had not been particularly skilled. [ 23 ]
