X-MINE final event on 23rd of June 2021 The X-MINE final event was organized on the 23rd of June 2021. The event was a success, and we attracted about one hundred people interested in the X-MINE project results and their impacts on the mining industry. Final event speakers’ page We have posted the […]
The X-MINE project is focused on developing novel X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) and X-ray Transmission (XRT)-sensing technologies integrated with drill core scanning and mineral sorting. The contributions from the Uppsala University to the project include mineralogical and textural characterisation of the ores in the targeted mines in the project, determining the concentrations and distribution of trace […]
In the H2020 X-MINE-project, the Geological Survey of Sweden (SGU) is leading the work in WP1 that aims to, among other tasks, develop geological 3D-models for the four mine sites involved in the project. Adjacent to the project study area, a student, Iris van der Werf from the Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam, has performed a […]
A new generation of high-resolution energy-sensitive multichannel pixel detector equipped with fast readout interface for continuous X-Ray inspection of moving objects was developed for conveyor belt application within X-Mine project. This detector consists of six modules as is illustrated in Figure 1. Each module has got independent USB3 fast readout interface for communication with computer […]

Hellenic Copper Mines, Cyprus, is applying the X-Mine project’s drill core analyser for drill core samples and samples from reverse circulation drilling. The cores are part of a systematic exploration campaign at the Apliki copper deposit. Please see the newsletter for more details. Newsletter
On 23rd of October a new generation of ADVACAM´s X-Ray camera developed within the X-Mine project was introduced at COMEX research facility located in Poland. This 42 cm width single photon counting imager allows to scan fast moving objects on a conveyor belt with spatial resolution of 55 microns. Maximum scanning speed is 5 m/s […]
On 7th July 2020 the second X-Mine industrial workshop was arranged as a virtual event, attracting about 50 people interested in drill core scanning, 3D modelling and mineral sorting.
