Abstract: A solid, slate-like product, a composition and method of producing the same comprising a substantially uniform mixture of at least five parts by weight of a finely divided taconite iron ore material containing at least about 1 percent magnetite therein and an amine-formaldehyde resin such as urea-formaldehyde or melamine-formaldehyde. The mixture, heated under pressure, forms a dense slate-like material.
