Try researching Itabirite, Itabirite Mining in Brazil, size of Itabirite mines in Brazil and Itabirite abd Vale in Brazil.

Another one while on their saite. Iron Ore 2010-2011. Major Iron Depositas of the World.
One other whiles there, Cameroon. Mbalam - Mbarga,Metzimevin.
This is not copy right as far as I am aware, as I have posted about this many times over the last 5 or so years.
Read them and you may get a better picture about the amount of Itabirite that could be in ground and the type of terrain that Itabirite is found.
I spoke about 30 to 40 Billion tonnes in ground 3 years or so ago. I was trying to be very conservative with that figure, as people would have called me Crazy if I said I thought there could be more.
