It is oxygen that is chemically combined with the iron to form iron(III) oxide. That iron oxide, which is Fe2O3, is what is in hematite, and that's what we want to recover and process. A link can be found below.

How to separate hematite from other rock and mud?
A relatively new process, magnetation, will aid in the separation of hematite from other rock. Used in the waste tailing of iron ore mining, the magnets attract the hematite for use.
Can other minerals scratch the hematite?
yes.

What useful material is obtained from the mineral hematite?
Haematite / Hematite is the primary ore used for the production of iron. It was also used historically as a red or brown pigment. The name hematite is derived from the Greek "haimatitis", meaning "blood-red", because it gives rocks a reddish tinge. If soils or rocks have a reddish color, it is usually due to hematite, and it's actually hematite that gives the planet Mars it's reddish hue! Hematite also has magnetic properties and hematite jewelry has become quite popular lately. Hematite beads are usually strung together along with other kinds of beads (crystal and amethyst) into long strands that spontaneously snap together, making an instant 'lariat' style necklace. Finally, hematite is a very pretty stone with a a lustrous dark silvery-gray color.
