Taconite became valued as a new source of the metal.

The line is most noted for the presence of heavy taconite unit trains.

"Which makes it some of the best possible taconite, so it's comparatively easy to work.

Due to increased international demand, taconite is shipped to Mexico and China.

The bedrock, known as taconite, also contained iron, but in a much lower concentration.

As Professor Peterson notes, taconite still accounts for about 40 percent of the region's economy.

Industry officials said taconite production this year will exceed 40 million tons, an increase of about 33 percent over a year ago.

These processed taconite-ore pellets are also referred to as "taconite".

The Taconite Trail is most popular as a snowmobile route in the winter.

The ship's midsection had been reduced to heaps of metal and taconite.

Banded iron formations are known as taconite within North America.

As of 2009, the line carried about seven trains per day which primarily had loads of coal and taconite.

The taconite era on the Missabe had begun.

Although the pure ore is now depleted, taconite mining remains strong using processes developed locally to save the industry.

It is also known as taconite.

The iron content of taconite, commonly present as finely dispersed magnetite, is generally 25 to 30%.

Currently, Taconite Harbor consists of a power plant, foundations and an abandoned basketball court.

The mid- to late-1970s and early-1980s were particularly difficult times for Minnesota's natural resource based industries, especially for the taconite mining industry.

The laboratory is also developing an alternative way to remove fine materials that rub off taconite pellets during shipping.

(The amendment restricted the state's ability to tax a taconite industry for twenty-five years.)

Davis was known as "Mr. Taconite" for his efforts.

Minnesota taconite produces over half of the iron mined in Minnesota at the present date.
