The top four mines with the highest output of iron ore are in China, Australia, the US, and South Africa. There are two distinct categories of iron ore mining, surface mining such as open cast or strip mining and underground mining. At the surface iron ore processing plants, the iron ore is put through crushers and ball mills to break it into a uniform and more workable size and then washed
