El Algarrobo is an iron mine in north-central Chile. Geologically it is an iron oxide-apatite (IOA) type of deposit.[1] El Algarrobo is part of a wider province of iron ores known as the Chilean Iron Belt.[2] From the 1970s onward El Romeral have come to overshadow El Algarrobo in iron ore production.[3]
