Question:

What changes in demand and/or supply of iron ore could have caused this?

Suppose the equilibrium quantity of iron ore has just experienced a sharp increase, while the equilibrium price of iron ore has remained constant.

Answer:

If the quantity has suddenly increased without a decrease in price, there must have been an equally sudden, and offsetting, increase in demand.
The supply and demand both increased, shifting both lines. There is a new equilibrium point.
