Prior to 1840, bog ore found in swamps was used in charcoal furnaces to produce pig iron. This iron ore was of low grade and deposits were small, thus limiting the size and advance of the industry. It was not until discovery of the iron formations in 1844, near the City of Negaunee that iron production in Michigan assumed any importance.

A key driver of the recent price increase has been a significant decline in iron ore production in Brazil, following a tailings dam collapse earlier this year and the subsequent closure of several mines. Brazil is the second-largest exporter of iron ore, and these closures sidelined around 6 per cent of global seaborne supply (Graph B2).
