==History== In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the United States was mining such an abundance of [[iron ore]] of high quality that taconite was considered an uneconomic waste product. By the end of [[World War II]] much of the high-grade iron ore in the [[United States]] had been exhausted, so taconite became valued as a new source of the metal.<ref name = "DNR1">{{cite web |title=Taconite |url=http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/education/geology/digging/taconite.html |publisher=Minnesota Department of Natural Resources |access-date=27 December 2023}}</ref>
