The high grade hematite and magnetite iron ores (>56% Fe) are using in India in industry since several years. Due to limitation of the high-grade iron rocks and demand of iron ore for industry, country development; we need to utilize the low grade iron ore.

The occurrence of Banded Iron Formation rocks and slag heaps, slag waste dumps materials etc. confirm the extraction of iron, copper and gold in these areas by ancestors.
