Would an exoplanet highly rich in Iron (and other metallic properties) have any effects on technology?

Im working on a story about a new exoplanet discovery and its subsequent "Near Future" colonization.

The planet is close to its parent star. As such, I have decided to give it a sizeable molten iron Core and a super earth radius (for increased Magnetic field production reasons).

But I have also decided to give it a composition mostly comprised of Rocky mantle rich in Iron deposits. As well as a variety of other metallic properties. What effects, if any, would a planet with such a composition have on technology?
