Its possible that there was once a vast civilization on mars. And due to changes on the red planet( whether it be climactic changes, or something else) the metals used in that vast world wide civilization( probably a giant city that covered the planet) eroded away leaving behind nothing but the reddish iron oxide on the planet.
