There are a few other sources for iron, besides ores. Iron is recyclable, so scrap iron is a good source. In addition, there are meteors that are composed of iron and nickel, which provide a small source of the metal that does not have to be refined from ore. (It's a small source on Earth, much larger in the asteroid belt.)
