Some additional information on magnetite:
- Magnetite is one of the major ores of iron, and its most distinctive property is its magnetism, as it is the most magnetic mineral in the world.
- Magnetite ore produces lower carbon emissions when being processed, compared with other iron ores.
- Additionally, the end product from magnetite ore is also of higher quality as it has less impurities, making it a premium product that can be sold to steel makers for higher prices.
