In the Midwest region of the United States, iron is primarily mined through open-pit mining methods. This involves removing large amounts of overburden to access iron ore deposits found near the surface. The extracted ore is then processed to separate iron from impurities. The region's mining operations often focus on taconite, a low-grade iron ore that requires beneficiation to produce usable iron products.
