As of 2019, magnetite iron ore is mined in Minnesota and Michigan in the United States, eastern Canada, and northern Sweden. [8] Magnetite-bearing banded iron formation is mined extensively in Brazil as of 2019, which exports significant quantities to Asia, and there is a nascent and large magnetite iron ore industry in Australia.

Shaft furnace magnetization roasting is a metallurgical process, mainly used to treat iron ore, so that in a high temperature environment by reacting with reducing agents (such as coal, coke or gas), the iron oxides (such as hematite, limonite, etc.) to reduce to magnetic iron minerals (mainly magnetite). The process is usually carried out in ...
Magnetite crystals with a cubic habit are rare but have been found at Balmat, St. Lawrence County, New York, [47] [48] and at Långban, Sweden. [49] This habit may be a result of crystallization in the presence of cations such as zinc. [50] Magnetite can also be found in fossils due to biomineralization and are referred to as magnetofossils.

The iron ore deposits occur as specular hematite and magnetite, in a 2:1 ratio. The company has mineral reserves of 1.1 billion tonnes and resources of 1.7 billion tonnes. The average grade at mine exit is approximately 38% iron. [3] The company brings to market several products including acid pellets, fluxed pellets, and direct reduction ...
The primary magnetic phase on the Moon is ferrite, the body-centered cubic (bcc) phase of iron. As the proportion of iron decreases, the crystal structure changes from bcc to face centered cubic (fcc). Nickel iron mixtures tend to exsolve into a mixture of iron-rich kamacite and iron-poor taenite. [3]: 27
Iron(II,III) oxide, or black iron oxide, is the chemical compound with formula Fe 3 O 4.It occurs in nature as the mineral magnetite.It is one of a number of iron oxides, the others being iron(II) oxide (FeO), which is rare, and iron(III) oxide (Fe 2 O 3) which also occurs naturally as the mineral hematite.
