Sure but it's under water. Most of the ejecta layer iron is where they can't get to as well, as we'll see on Monday's page; in the western plateau and in the crater itself.
Meteoric iron is already iron so it doesn't have to be smelted from ore to be usable.
and can make for some pretty interesting and unique items...and expensive.
Cabot guns made a pair [mirrored, righty/lefty] of M1911s out of one...IIRC the set is worth 4.5 MILLION.
I did indeed recognize the names "Whakaari" and "Tauranga" on reading this, and, checking the dates, was glad to see that you chose them -before- the Whakaari/White Island eruption.
