Iron ore deposits are found in sedimentary rocks, which are essentially rocks that have been formed over time from the accumulation of different sediments. The two most important minerals extracted from iron ore are iron oxides hematite and magnetite. These two iron oxides are used to produce just about every iron and steel object you can image.Web
