University of Alaska buys mining simulator

The University of Alaska has acquired a Thoroughtec simulator to help students train in its underground mining program, reports Mineweb.
The University of Alaska Southeast’s goal is to develop a world-class training center that meets the workforce training needs of the mining industry by providing high quality, accessible training for both new and experienced miners. The simulator will be housed at the UA Center for Mine Training, located in Juneau’s UAS Technical Education Center and will have the ability to train students in modules fully representing an articulated haul truck (CAT ADT 45B), load haul dump truck (Atlas Copco ST14) and bolter (Atlas Copco Boltec MC).
