Hematite deposits can be found in numerous countries across the globe. Significant hematite-producing regions include Brazil, Australia, China, India, Russia, South Africa, and the United States. These countries are known for their vast mineral resources and have played a significant role in hematite mining and production.

Hematite, also spelled as haematite, is the mineral form of iron (III) oxide (Fe 2 O 3 ), one of several iron oxides. Hematite crystallizes in the rhombohedral lattice system, and it has the same crystal structure as ilmenite and corundum. Hematite and ilmenite form a complete solid solution at temperatures above 950 °C (1,740 °F).

The black shale-hosted selenide vein-type deposit at Tilkerode, eastern Harz, Germany, has specular hematite enclosed in clausthalite (PbSe). The specular hematite has Ti and V in amounts of up to ∼1 wt.% TiO2 and ∼3 wt.% V2O5, and subordinate, but important, contents of Mo (22–372 ppm) and B (up to 68 ppm). The …

The world's largest production (nearly 75 million tons of hematite annually) comes from a sedimentary deposit in the Lake Superior district in North America. Other important deposits include those at Minas Gerais, Brazil (where the hematite occurs in metamorphosed sediments); Cerro Bolívar, Venezuela; and Labrador and Quebec, Canada.

Additionally, hematite is used in the production of heavy concrete and as a weighting agent in drilling fluids for oil and gas exploration. Some of the largest deposits of hematite can be found in Ukraine, Brazil, and Austria, among other countries.
