Context: In mining, rehabilitation progress percentage reflects how consistently site restoration advances alongside operations across surface and underground mining, processing, and services.

Challenges: Areas are marked for restoration but conditions change, equipment availability shifts, and contractors move on to higher-priority work, so ownership passes between operations, environment, and closure teams until progress slips again.

Solution: The Rehabilitation Progress Guidance Agent, an AI agent built using Microsoft Copilot Studio, monitors land availability and contractor deployment as conditions align and intervenes during resource allocation and task triggering, flagging the restoration window before it closes.

Impact: Mining operators adopting this approach see restoration become part of daily execution, with progress accelerating because execution stays aligned with reality on the ground rather than plans simply changing.
