The invention belongs to the technical field of ore beneficiation in metallurgical mining industry, and particularly relates to a sorting method of multi-metal lean hematite. The sorting method is characterized by employing a two-stage continuous grinding, magnetic separation, reverse flotation, grinding aging and centrifuge sorting method to separate the iron minerals and other metallic minerals, and comprises the following steps of: carrying out ball milling for the first time and classification for the first time, classification for the second time, ball milling for the second time, first-stage weak magnetic separation, first-stage strong magnetic roughing, first-stage strong magnetic selection, reverse flotation sorting, second-stage magnetic separation, grinding again, centrifuge roughing and centrifuge selection on the multi-metal symbiotic lean hematite, combining the weak magnetic separation concentrate and centrifuge concentrate to obtain final concentrate, and combining second-stage strong magnetic separation tailings, reverse flotation tailings and centrifuge tailings to obtain final tailings. After the introduction of the novel new sorting method, the grade of the raw ore is 30.505%, the grade of the obtained concentrate increases to 64.14% from about 58% and the yield is 28.59%, the recovery rate is 60.13%, and the grade of the tailings is 17.03%.
