Iron ore is necessarily basic raw material for industrialization and urbanization and related to the industrial distribution and development programming. The lean iron ore resource in our country is high-cost and low-efficiency, which cannot meet the demand of iron and steel industry, and even endanger the safety of industrial economy. Ansteel mining has created “grade decision-based multi-system integration” mode of mining and metallurgy system engineering and realized scale and efficient development of lean iron ore on basis of the construction of digital mines. Moreover, the “wisdom mines” was proposed and had led to the transformation and upgrading of iron developments.
