Abstract: A method for adjusting a surface of an exploratory data model of a geological domain to take into account blast hole data, the method comprising; drilling a plurality of blast holes proximal to the geological domain; recording blast hole data samples for each of the blast holes in an electronic data storage apparatus; operating a processing assembly in data communication with said storage apparatus according to instructions stored in a memory accessible to the processing assembly to perform the following acts: labelling each said data sample as domain or non-domain; determining blast hole boundary samples for the geological domain at each of a number of elevations to produce blast hole boundaries for the geological domain; comparing the blast hole boundaries to a surface of the exploratory data model; adjusting the surface based on the blast hole boundaries for the geological domain to generate an adjusted surface; and mining the geological domain based on the adjusted surface to thereby improve efficiency of ore extraction.
