Abstract

See full text

A sampling apparatus for collecting geological samples from the subsurface is fixable to a drill, such as to a mining drill rig. The drill apparatus includes a chassis, and a drill comprising a boring pipe and a drill bit. The sampling apparatus is fixable to the chassis of the drill apparatus and includes a sampling pipe arrangement to be fitted to the end of it, as well as a collecting apparatus to be connected to the sampling pipe apparatus, in which the collecting apparatus samples can be collected. The nozzle is a suction nozzle, in which suction is arranged. The sampling pipe arrangement comprises an attitude adjustment apparatus, with which the nozzle can be arranged into the proximity of the boring pipe in such a way that the nozzle is near the borehole and the mouth of it is directed towards the borehole such that it is able to take samples directly from the mantle rock flying out from the borehole.
