Dalian iron ore futures jumped nearly 10 per cent on Monday too. Iron ore on the Singapore Exchange climbed 8.7 per cent to record $US176.20 a tonne.
Fastmarkets attributed the spike to continuing strong demand for steel and news of a Friday landslide at a Vale mine in Brazil, which resulted in the death of one person.
The company said the slide took place not far from the town of Brumadinho where a tailings dam disaster took place in 2019, killing 270 people.
According to Vale, the person who died was employed by a third-party company and was operating a bulldozer when a landslide at the Córrego do Feijão mine in Minas Gerais state struck him.
The slide highlights continuing concerns about supply as investors already are positioning for seasonal, weather-related risks.
Iron ore on China's Dalian Commodity Exchange ended daytime trading up 9.7 per cent at 1144.50 yuan ($US174.76) a tonne on Monday, after earlier hitting a contract high of 1147 yuan.
