Iron eating organism civ

[Rocketsgobrrrr]

So assuming the planet is rich in iron meaning it has an abundant amount of iron on the surface could they reach society stage before running out of iron to eat. Additionally to be generous well also assume there is a asteroid that is made up of iron that hits the planet every now and then, the asteroid will be small enough as so it doesn’t cause a mass extinction event.

The iron amount brought by such asteroids might not be worth the damage…

Oh.
Yeah but given ideal conditions could it happen?

Maybe, if the player species becomes civ-capable fast enough.
