Description
The paper investigates the combination of micro Computed Tomography (CT) scan technology along with X-ray fluorescence (XRF) to determine the distribution of scheelite minerals in rock drill core samples. The aim is to aid mining industry to easily and efficiently identify scheelite and other ore minerals in rock drill core samples. These results could then be used to calculate the distribution of the minerals and the average grade of the core samples while keeping the drill core samples intact. This technique, if properly developed, has the potential to replace the traditional grade quantifying procedures.
