Abstract

This invention relates to a method of and apparatus for sorting mined ore which includes a radio-active component such as uranium. The apparatus consists of a belt conveyor 12 onto which the ore is fed in an even layer, at least one scintillation crystal detector 14 which is located below the conveyor belt and adapted to measure the radioactive emission of zones of ore on the belt, a weight sensor 20 a mechanical sorter 16 at the end of the conveyor for sorting the ore into grades having various emission levels and a computer having inputs connected to the scintillation detector and weight sensor and output connected to the sorter for operating the sorter when the measured zones of ore are discharged from the conveyor into the sorter. <IMAGE>
