The process begins by removing the topsoil from the area to be mined. This soil is then replaced and compacted to make sure that there is no waterlogging or runoff. The next step is to drill holes into the rock, so that explosives can be inserted. The explosives are set off, and the iron ore is blasted out of the rock.

To process taconite, the ore is ground into a fine powder, the magnetite is separated from the gangue by strong magnets, and the powdered iron concentrate is combined with a binder such as bentonite clay and limestone as a flux. As a last step, it is rolled into pellets about 10 millimeters in diameter that contain about 65% iron.
