hey mate here is ur answer
Types of iron ore: Hematite
Hematite gets its name from the Greek word for blood, haima, because of its reddish color. This is one of the types of iron ore that has very high iron content, and although the iron content of hematite itself is lower than that of magnetite, the mineral sometimes occurs in higher-grade deposits, often referred to as direct-shipping ore (DSO). This means that, due to its high iron content, such hematite ores may be mined and extracted with a fairly simple crushing and screening process before it is exported.
Types of iron ore: Magnetite
As mentioned above, magnetite ore has a higher iron content than hematite ore, but often occurs in lower concentrations. That means it has to be concentrated before it can be used to produce steel. However, the ore’s magnetic properties help separate magnetite ore from rock during this process.
Magnetite ore is currently mined in Minnesota and Michigan in the US, as well as in taconite deposits in Eastern Canada.
