Abstract



Chile's mining industry, a global leader in copper production, faces challenges due to increasing volumes of mining waste, particularly Waste Rock Dumps (WRD) and Leaching Waste Dumps (LWD). The National Service of Geology and Mining (SERNAGEOMIN) requires assessment of the physical stability (PS) of these facilities, but current methods are hindered by data scarcity and resource constraints. This study proposes a simplified evaluation methodology using first-order parameters from open-access data. By integrating Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Artificial Intelligence (AI)-utilizing models like YOLOv11 and convolutional neural networks-we automate the detection and characterization of WRD and LWD from satellite imagery, extracting critical parameters for PS assessment. This approach reduces analysis time and minimizes human error. Validated in the Antofagasta Region, Chile's primary mining area, we identified and evaluated 70 WRD and 54 LWD. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of prioritizing deposits based on potential risk, enhancing SERNAGEOMIN's capacity for supervision. The successful application suggests scalability to other mining regions and adaptability to different facility types, including tailings storage facilities. This work offers a practical tool to improve safety and risk management in the mining industry, addressing critical challenges in PS evaluation under current regulatory constraints.
