How steel is made. First, the raw materials, either iron ore or scrap iron (depending on the process), are converted into molten steel. The orebased process uses a blast furnace or smelter and the scrapbased process uses an electric arc furnace. Next, the molten steel is poured and solidified in a continuous caster.

This report consists of a detailed cost analysis of iron ore. The iron ore is extracted and then undergoes various processes. The process starts with screening which increases the efficiency of crushing. The iron is crushed and diverted to a stockpile. A constant supply of material is fed into the mill to ensure uniformity in the process.

Limestone is also a very important industrial mineral. Its chemical properties make it a valuable mineral for a wide range of industrial/manufacturing uses. Limestone is also one of the vital raw materials used in production of iron and steel. Limestone, by definition, is a rock that contains at least 50 % of CaCO3 in the form of calcite by weight.
