Note
Previous documentation states that it's an "Almaden Iron from Mines" - it is unclear what that means, as Almaden does not appear to be an iron manufacturing brand. Most likely, it means that it's associated with the Almaden iron mines, but it is unclear where that information came from, and if it's true.
