🥈 Hellas Gold S.A. Eldorado Gold - Silver Winner: Pioneers the Future of Training with Virtual and Augmented Reality 👏 Congratulations to Hellas Gold S.A. and Eldorado Gold for winning the Silver Award at the Euromines Safety Awards 2024! Their forward-thinking use of virtual reality and augmented reality training programs is reshaping how safety training is conducted in underground mining operations. In an industry where minimising risk to safety is a top priority, this innovative approach allows miners to train in real-world conditions without the associated dangers, ensuring they are fully prepared to handle the complexities of their environment before setting foot underground. 💡What sets this project apart is the realism and depth of their training programs. By transforming part of their Madem Lakkos facilities into a state-of-the-art training center, Hellas Gold has integrated simulators for key equipment like jumbo drills and load haul dumpers. These simulators replicate actual mine environments and equipment controls, immersing trainees in a 360-degree experience that enhances their skills without disrupting production. 🚀 The impact on safety, productivity, and operational costs is profound. By reducing unscheduled vehicle maintenance and preventing incidents, this virtual reality and augmented reality approach has already optimised day-to-day operations. This award is well deserved, and we are excited to see how Hellas Gold continues to push the boundaries of digital transformation in the mining sector. #Euromines #Safety #Awards #SafetyFirst #MiningInnovation #SafetyAwards2024 #sustainablemining #miningineurope #ResponsibleMining #EurominesSafetyAwards2024 #HellasGold #EldoradoGold #GoldMining #VR #AR #training
