The ore is predominantly composed of magnetite, either fresh or weathered into martite, and by ferric hydroxides such as goethite and limonite, followed by ilmenite, micas, quartz and rare-earth minerals. Pyrochlore, which is almost always associated with magnetite, is easily observable near preserved nelsonite veins.

Ilmenite is the main source of titanium found in the earth crust, Chen et al., 2013. It is found in India near sea beach of Kerala and under mines of Orissa, Ray et al., 1985. The recovery of titanium is difficult from ilmenite as it is bounded with iron. Therefore, to recover titanium, iron has to be removed from the ore, Deventer, et al., 1987.
