The concentrate (the wet taconite powder) is rolled with clay inside large rotating cylinders. The cylinders cause the powder to roll into marble-sized balls. (This is like rolling wet, sticky snow into balls to make a snowman). The balls are then dried and heated until they are white hot. The balls become hard as they cool.
Taconite. The mines on the Mesabi Range historically extracted hematite, a rusty-red gravel-like ore. Hematite contained 50–70% iron and could be dug out of the ground and shipped right out to be made into steel. From 1890 to about 1980, 2.5 billion tons of this ore was mined here, but these “natural ores” were largely depleted by the 1980s.
