Australia's main iron ore exports may not work with green …
It's a naturally higher-grade ore (56–62 per cent iron) and makes up almost all (96 per cent) of our exports. Magnetite is a lower grade ore (25-40 per cent iron) which needs extra processing. This processing, however, produces ore with more iron content, fewer impurities and less waste rock (known as gangue) than hematite.

Iron Ores (Hematite and Magnetite)
An ore is a mineral deposit that contains a metal that can be extracted using existing technological methods. Iron can be extracted from two types of iron ores: Magnetite and hematite. Magnetite is composed of iron in the form of Fe 3 O 4. Hematite is a mineral that contains iron in the form of Fe 2 O 3.
Formation of magnetite-(apatite) systems by crystallizing
Magnetite-(apatite) ore deposits are interpreted as being formed by the crystallization of iron-rich ultrabasic melts, dominantly generated by the interaction of silicate melts with oxidized P-F-SO4-bearing sedimentary rocks. This hypothesis is supported by geologic evidence, experimental studies, numerical modeling, stable and radiogenic …
