There are four main types of iron ore deposits worked currently: magnetite, hematite, pisolitic ironstone, and titanomagnetite deposits. Pure iron metal is silvery white in colour, strongly magnetic, very ductile, and has a melting point of 1,538° C (2,800° F). Pure iron is malleable and can be easily shaped by hammering.
