Iron Ore | Geoscience Australia
Iron (Fe) is a metallic element that constitutes 5.6% by weight of the Earth's crust and is the fourth most abundant element in the crust. Iron ores are rocks from which metallic iron can be economically extracted. The principal iron ores contain hematite (Fe 2 O 3) and magnetite (Fe 3 O 4 ). Hematite is an iron oxide mineral.

25.1 Exploration: Finding minerals | Mining of mineral resources
The first iron mining techniques used charcoal which was mixed with iron ore in a bloomery. When heating the mixture and blowing air (oxygen) in through bellows, the iron ore is converted to the metal, iron. The chemical reaction between iron oxide and carbon is used here to produce iron metal. The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is:

Bog Iron. Iron production in significant quantities began around 500 BC. One important source of iron was bog iron which are nodules of iron oxide found naturally at the bottom of swamps. With a rake it is easy to collect them. The Teutons and the La Tene culture, for example, likely used bog iron to make weapons.

LANDMINE DETECTION WITH DRONES
Blast effect antitank mines contain up to 12-15 kg high explosive and layed on the ground or buried 5-15 cm below the surface. These mines used the blast effect to cut tracks or disrupt road wheels after they got a pressure of about 150-300 kg. Many types of antitank mines use a shaped charge to produce this result.
