Rich iron deposit found in northwest Iowa
State Geologist Stanley C. Grant reports a 540 foot deep, 90 foot thick vein of fairly rich iron ore in the northeast corner of Sioux County Iowa during water resources drill testing. He notes no immediate mining plans but sees long term potential amid scarce Mesabi Range ore. Grant cites probable resources of lead and zinc in northeast Iowa and discusses regional mineral trends and historic surveys.
