Uranium ore in the Athabasca region, Canada, is highly variable in density. This is due to large variations in the grade of high-density uranium and associated metalliferous minerals, and also to changes in porosity. As it is not practical to take accurate measurements of dry bulk density values of a large number of samples. As a result of investigation on actual ore samples, it has been found practical to estimate the dry bulk density of ore from measured wet bulk density and grain density calculated from chemical data.
