There are many other iron bearing minerals that are mined in small quantities but are not of huge economic importance due to low abundances or issues with the mining process For example pyrite (FeS) is extremely common but is not mined in large quantities because it releases toxic sulphur gases during processing and also retains sulphur impurities after processing
