Perspective Development of Iron Ore Mining in Ukraine According to the world experts, the demand for and prices on iron ore will be increasing annually. It is connected with the iron ore shortage at the world market, which, according to the prognosis of the experts in the field, will have been done away with by 2007-2008.

Will our iron ore mining industry be able to meet the increasing demands of the metallurgical industry? |
