Iron mining in the United States - Wikipedia

Iron ore was discovered on the Marquette Range in 1844, and mining started in 1848. Mining increased after the opening of the ship canal at Sault Ste. Marie provided cheap water transportation between the iron mines to the lower Great Lakes. The Lake Superior iron deposits were the largest ever discovered in the United States, and by the late 1800s, …

Maine Geological Survey: History of Metal Mining in Maine

A mining boom swept Maine from 1879 to 1882. In a great flurry of excitement small mines and prospects were opened in many areas, primarily along the coastal volcanic belt from Blue Hill to Lubec. Iron, silver, copper, lead, and zinc were mined, milled, concentrated, and smelted. A sudden drop in prices in 1883 caused most of the mines to close ...

Bog iron is formed when ground-water picks up iron from iron-ore deposits, where that iron is then oxidized under acidic conditions to form chunks of iron minerals (goethite, magnetite, hematite, etc.), typically in smallish chunks. Bog iron is much easier to smelt because it contains fewer impurities than iron ore in rock deposits, but the ...

The Great Iron Ore Odyssey by Donovan A. Shilling

The processed iron ore was smelted into long, flat bars called a "sow." The shorter bolts cut off from the bar were naturally called "pigs," hence the term "pig iron." In 1900 a vast, new iron ore deposit was uncovered in Minnesota's Mesabi Range and found to be far richer in iron content than local ore. Due to the bed's location and the ease ...

Brief History of Birmingham, Alabama Iron Ore Mining

Iron ore mining in the Birmingham District followed the ups and downs of iron and steel production. Active mining stopped in 1975. After that, cheaper imported ores were used until the iron and steel industry was mostly shut down. It is estimated that from 1840 to 1975, 375 million short tons of iron ore were produced in the Birmingham District.

Manganese deposits similar to Algoma-type iron deposits are widespread. Generally considered to have formed as a result of submarine volcanism, most are too poor to mine, but, where weathering has caused secondary enrichment (discussed below), small but very rich ore deposits have formed. Such deposits are mined in Brazil, Mexico, Gabon, and Ghana.
