    What Mineral Comprises Iron Ore? Types and Composition
    Iron ore is primarily made up of the mineral hematite (Fe₂O₃).

    However, other minerals are also found in iron ore, including:

    * Magnetite (Fe₃O₄)

    * Goethite (FeO(OH))

    * Siderite (FeCO₃)

    * Pyrite (FeS₂)

    The specific composition of iron ore can vary depending on the geological location and formation process.
