Why is Glimmer Looking at Iron Ore instead of Gold, or any other Commodity?

The answer could lie in the following article. The key paragraph is reproduced below the link.

"Energy Demand

However, demand growth will ultimately become the biggest driver of commodity prices over the long run. Demand growth is coming from Asia and especially China. For example, demand from Chinese steel makers is lifting prices for iron ore in most major markets around the globe. The Chinese appetite for commodities has become insatiable."

I was talking to a vetran of IOC at Labrador City and he indicated that the grade to be being mined at BMIL is what Lab City upgrades their ore to. So I guess there is no requirement for upgrading the ore before shipping to the smelter(in China? probably Scandanavia).
