Norgold equipped its new West African Training Center at the Lefa mine in Guinea with a CYBERMINE Full-Mission Simulator by ThoroughTec Simulation.
The simulator is a high-fidelity system that creates the sensation of operating equipment in a mine. The simulator cab uses OEM controls and the simulated vehicle dynamics are based on detailed mathematical models that use vehicle manufacturer specifications.
The center is located in a key region, and the development is part of a wider training program, Norgold said. “They will enhance the skills of our people, and in turn will enable us to run safer, more efficient operations,” Yulia Sklar, human resources director, Norgold, said. “The West Africa Training Center in Guinea is an important element of our strategic Employee Development Program.”
The miner reported the center is valued at roughly $800,000.
