Blast reconciliation for mines

A computer implemented method comprising:

• ascertaining, by at least one processor, from a pre and post blast measurer, pre blast measurement data and post blast measurement data associated with a blasting operation for a mining site;
• generating, by the at least one processor, using existing pre blast measurement data and existing post blast measurement data, a blast reconciliation model by generating, using existing spot values determined by counting a number of vehicles or containers that are used to remove raw material associated with blasting operations for a specified time duration, existing survey values associated with the blasting operations for the specified time duration, the existing pre blast measurement data associated with the blasting, operations for the specified time duration, and the existing post blast measurement data associated with the blasting operations for the specified time duration, the blast reconciliation model;
• analyzing, by the at least one processor, using the blast reconciliation model, the ascertained pre blast measurement data and the ascertained post blast measurement data;
• determining, by the at least one processor, based on the analysis of the ascertained pre blast measurement data and the ascertained post blast measurement data, a blast material yield for the mining site as a result of the blasting operation;
• generating, by the at least one processor, an alert indicative of the blast material yield;
• and
• controlling, by the at least one processor, based on the alert, a mining operation associated with the mining site.

A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon machine readable instructions, the machine readable instructions, when executed, cause at least one hardware processor to:

• ascertain, from a pre and post blast measurer, pre blast measurement data and post blast measurement data associated with a blasting operation for a mining site, wherein the pre and post blast measurer comprises a laser device to ascertain
• the pre blast measurement data that includes a pre blast length measurement from a reference location of the mining site to a surface of the mining site prior to commencement of the blasting operation, and
• the post blast measurement data that includes
• a post blast length measurement from the reference location of the mining site to another surface of the mining site after completion of the blasting operation, and
• a blast area associated with the other surface of the mining site after the completion of the blasting operation;
• generate, using existing pre blast measurement data and existing post blast measurement data, a blast reconciliation model by generating, using existing spot values determined by counting a number of vehicles or containers that are used to remove raw material associated with blasting operations for a specified time duration, existing survey values associated with the blasting operations for the specified time duration, the existing pre blast measurement data associated with the blasting operations for the specified time duration, and the existing post blast measurement data associated with the blasting operations for the specified time duration, the blast reconciliation model;
• analyze, using the blast reconciliation model, the ascertained pre blast measurement data and the ascertained post blast measurement data;
• determine, based on the analysis of the ascertained pre blast measurement data and the ascertained post blast measurement data, a blast material yield for the mining site as a result of the blasting operation;
• generate, an alert indicative of the blast material yield;
• and
• control, based on the alert, a mining operation associated with the mining site.
