  3. How it is Mined and Processed • Since the mineral is too far underground surface mining is out of the question, therefore they must retrieve the magnetite through underground mining • Traditional grinding and floatation methods from the EHM concentrator recovers copped and gold from there ore which then Magnetite is liberated by this process

  4. The Element of the Mineral and What its Used for • Magnetite is made up of oxide of iron • It is used to make steel, paints, ink, magnets, paper and cosmetics
