A primary ore separation device used to remove magnetic particles from non-magnetic particles in a mixture utilizes a spinning magnet within a non-conductive cylindrical tube attaching the magnetic particles to the tube while the magnet is spinning and, by using centrifugal force, or the force caused by inertia, separates and spins away the non-magnetic particles, the device generally used upon mixed ore materials containing gold and other precious metals contained within the non-magnetic particles.
