Can it clear some mines? Absolutely, you can blow up minefields. Can it clear ALL mines? Very likely not.
Mines can explode from getting hit, but AT mines are far more likely to just get flung away a bit, and will just sit in their new position, probably in between craters. So you’ll have fewer mines, but also less passable terrain. And more dirt, and less predictable ground too.
Craters could be advantageous. Bring lots of dirt that you know is clean, plug the craters with said dirt with combat bulldozers, then get your tanks through quickly before the enemy can call in artillery.
Easier said than done though, and there still will be casualties.
