Description

Economic units mainly engaged in the exploitation of minerals valued primarily for their iron content, such as hematite, magnetite, limonite, siderite, taconite and other ferrous minerals, and beneficiation activities such as crushing, screening, grinding and magnetic concentration; as well as the production of agglomerates by means of pelletizing in pelletizing plants and iron sintering.
