In a method and apparatus for logging the grade distribution of a borehole core, the core 50 is mounted in a sleeve 36 and rotated (38,40). An irradiating source 16 mounted on a carriage 14 irradiates the core and is moved parallel to the core by a motor, gear and lead screw arrangement 28, 30, 20, 22. A signal produced by a detector 18 also mounted on the carriage 14, and the output signal of the detector is recorded. The method is performed by notionally dividing the core into a plurality of segments, e.g. by stepwise moving the carriage to respective positions and scanning the core (by rotation of the core) at each of these positions. The resulting measurements from each segment is recorded. <IMAGE> |
