During July 2025, Elite Operator Training was engaged at Saraji Mine to support operators transitioning to semi-autonomous dozing. Over the course of that month, operator utilisation in remote control mode increased dramatically — rising from 4,900 minutes at the start of July to over 23,000 minutes by the end of the month. This improvement reflects faster adoption, stronger operator confidence, and measurable productivity gains achieved while Elite Operator Training was on site.
