Abstract
As the resources deplete and excavation areas expand, different sorts of ores with various mineral composition (often more complex) begin to be used, which increases necessity of its complete quantitative determination. It is the mineral composition fluctuation that causes necessity of changes or complete change of technological processes. This factor must be accounted for during planning of further mining activities. This general problem gains real significance for Ukrainian strategic iron ore industry due to depletion of traditional iron ore deposits and necessity of its gradual replacement with new insufficiently studied types. Decrease of iron ore quality in times of rising demand is a global issue. Quality assessment technique was developed and approbated on BIF formation iron ore, but can be successfully implemented for other types of mineral material
