Low-grade and treated iron ores
Iron ore. Samples of low-grade iron ore, with a sample of a dressed ore at centre. Dressing, or beneficiation, is the process by which the iron ore contained in low-grade deposits is separated from its surrounding matrix of material, known as gangue. The resulting concentrated ore, or fines, can then be used indirect smelting processes to make steel. Photographed in the Irkutsk region of Russia

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the process of dressing low-grade iron ores in the Irkutsk region of Russia. In the image, various samples of low-grade iron ore are displayed, with a dressed ore sample at the center. Dressing, also known as beneficiation, is an essential procedure that separates the iron ore from its surrounding gangue material. The significance of this process lies in its ability to extract concentrated ore or fines which can then be utilized in indirect smelting processes for steel production. The vertical arrangement and industrial setting depicted in the photograph highlight the heavy and viable nature of this mineral concentration practice. Russia's rich natural resources play a crucial role in their thriving iron industry. With hematite and magnetite being prominent types of iron ores found within their territory, these raw materials serve as valuable assets for economic growth and development. This visually striking image not only emphasizes Russia's industrial prowess but also underscores their commitment to improving mineral extraction techniques. By harnessing advanced beneficiation methods, they maximize resource utilization while minimizing waste generation. It is important to note that this photograph does not represent any specific company or commercial use; rather it serves as a visual testament to Russia's significant contributions to the global mining sector.
