Abstract

See full text

A self-contained mobile sampling and processing facility for use at a mine having at least one blast-hole that forms a blast-hole cone wherein the sampling and processing facility includes at least one primary robotic arm that carries at least one sampling tool, and the primary robotic arm and sampling tool is controlled by robotic arm and sampling tool movement controller means, and the primary robotic arm is capable of self-determining the direction, distance and shape of a nearby blast-hole cone, then subsequently positioning itself so that the sampling tool is able to engage with the blast-hole cone and retrieve a sample from it without significant mixing or stirring the cone, or a localized region of the cone, and then the sample is deposited into the processing facility.
