Understanding their mineralogical characteristics is crucial for producing iron oxide concentrates (hematite and magnetite) for decarbonized steel production. Although their iron oxide grades are lower (28% to 33%) compared to deposits currently mined in Australia and Brazil (55% to 62%), metamorphosed iron ores have a coarse grain size that promotes strong liberation of hematite and magnetite from their quartz gangue. This makes it possible to concentrate an ore at 30%\u00a0Fe<sub>2<\/sub>O<sub>3<\/sub> and obtain a concentrate exceeding 67%\u00a0Fe<sub>2<\/sub>O<sub>3<\/sub>, with very few deleterious elements. This ability to produce high-purity concentrates allows our producers to manufacture superior-quality iron pellets and command a premium price.<\/p>\n<p>This workshop will cover the origin and typology of sedimentary iron formations, their mineralogical characteristics, and the physicochemical processes behind the high-purity iron deposits of the northeastern Grenville Province. Participants will have an opportunity to examine samples from the different types of deposits.<br \/>The workshop will also highlight the mineralogical and strategic importance of metamorphosed iron ores from the northeastern Grenville Province as a key feedstock in green steel production, as well as the importance of adding high-purity iron ore to Quebec\u2019s list of critical and strategic minerals.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Back to WorkshopsHigh-Purity Quebec Iron Ore: A Crucial Resource for the Green Transition in the Steel Industry November 15 2025, 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.(Offered only in French) Workshop Organizer: Serge Perreault\u00a0(Ordre des g\u00e9ologues du Qu\u00e9bec) The Fermont\u2013Labrador City region has significant high-purity iron ore resources, accessible from both Quebec and Labrador.
