What would be the recovery of diamond carats in 46 tons of blueground?

The recovery amount is impossible to predict, since Mother Nature doesn't operate in absolute ratios.
According to Wikipedia:
"In reconnaissance for diamond mining, blue ground refers to a layer of non-oxidized kimberlite. Kimberlites are a class of igneous rocks commonly associated with diamond mining."
Unless the blueground was incredibly rich, your carat recovery may be very small. In addition, about 80% of all diamonds mined are industrial diamonds, not gemstone quality.
