Portuguese term or phrase: Minério de ferro granulado
Hi!

I am familiar with the expressions "pellet iron ore", "sinter feed iron ore" and "lump iron ore", but having to translate the Portuguese expression "minério de ferro granulado" into English I found myself in doubt. It seems to me that the best choice would be "pellet iron ore", because "pellet" is equivalent to "pelota"/ "grânulo" in Portuguese, but am not 100% sure.

Can anyone help me?

Thanks!!!
