Jul 26 2019nbsp018332While Britain had good iron ore reserves the iron produced was of low quality with plenty of impurities limiting its use. There was plenty of demand but not much was produced as wrought iron which had many of the impurities hammered out took a long time to make and was available in cheaper imports from Scandinavia

There are four main mining methods underground open surface pit placer and insitu mining. Underground mines are more expensive and are often used to reach deeper deposits. Surface mines are typically used for more shallow and less valuable deposits. Placer mining is used to sift out valuable metals from sediments in river channels beach sands or other environments. In

Dec 10 2010nbsp018332Placer miners used simple tools such as pans and bateas rockers sluices Long Toms and dry washers to separate free metals from gravels. They sometimes used mercury which forms an amalgam with small particles of gold and silver. Miners used mechanical crushing and grinding machines to break up ores for further processing

173Iron is an incredibly useful substance. Its less brittle than stone yet compared to wood or copper extremely strong. If properly heated iron is also relatively easy to shape into various forms as well as refine using simple tools. And speaking of those tools unlike wood iron can handle high temperatures allowing us to build
