Properties. In the Earth's crust iron is found mainly as minerals of iron oxide such as hematite, magnetite, goethite and limonite. The minerals that are mostly used as ore for making iron are hematite (Fe 2 O 3) and magnetite (Fe 3 O 4).Iron is quite soft and easily worked, but it has a very high melting point of 1538°C.
In the total iron ore reserves of about· 17.712 billion tonnes, hematite is about 12.3 billion tonnes and magnetite is 5.4 billion tonnes. From the estimated resources of 12745 million tonnes in 1990,the same has now increased to 17712 million tonnes and it is likely to increase with further exploration. State wise iron ore resources,
Beneficiation is the process where ore is reduced in size and gange separated from the ore. Since all iron ore deposits have unique mineralogy, the beneficiation process is specific to each deposit. Separation of certain minerals can be efficiently achieved by taking advantage of the physical, electrical and magnetic properties.

iron ore is expected to rise by more than 200 million tonne per year to meet the internal demand & export. This additional requirement of iron ore will need beneficiation of low grade ore/fines to get the major portion of increased demand.
