UNDERGROUND METALS
OPERATIONAL SUPPORT
Core Crew provides end-to-end operational support for underground metals mining, keeping operations running safely, efficiently, and reliably. Our on-site teams integrate with your site to strengthen the systems, processes, and leadership that underpin consistent production and operational performance.
With leadership experience across production, maintenance, and workforce management, we help clients stabilise operations, reduce bottlenecks, and build long-term capability for sustained improvement underground.
Supporting an underground metals operation isn’t just about supplying people, it’s about ensuring every role, task, and decision contributes to safety, productivity, and operational goals. Our structured approach connects:
✔ Workforce management with operational execution
✔ Production and maintenance with planning and logistics
✔ On-site support with performance monitoring and continuous improvement
By embedding these connections, Core Crew helps underground metal operations move from reactive problem-solving to performance-driven, long-term outcomes, improving safety, consistency, and overall productivity.
We provide end-to-end operational support for underground metal mines, including:
Our team provided full operational and processing support for the Paste Plant operators during the critical commissioning phase and ramp-up to production. Acting as the client’s representative, our team delivered hands-on operational assistance, trained site personnel, and supported continuous maintenance to ensure a smooth transition into full production.

Core Crew was engaged to drive operational improvements for an underground coal operation. Our objective was to implement a proven system of work to eliminate variability in daily operations, while leveraging the expertise of the Xenco group to drive targeted improvement initiatives beyond routine activities.
Read nowOur underground metals operational support services cover planning, production, maintenance, workforce management, and on-site leadership. We integrate with your site teams to ensure safe, efficient, and reliable mining operations.
We focus on optimising production, processes, and workforce performance. By embedding our teams and structured systems into your operation, we help increase throughput, reduce downtime, and strengthen safety culture, driving sustainable operational improvements.
Unlike standard consultants or contractors, Core Crew delivers fully integrated operational support, combining people, processes, and leadership. Our teams operate as part of your crew, applying proven frameworks to improve efficiency, reduce variability, and deliver measurable results.
Yes. Our underground metals operational support is fully flexible. We can scale resources for short-term improvement projects, specialist shutdowns, or full ongoing site support to match your production targets, operational phase, or market conditions.
We track performance using key operational metrics, including output per shift, cost per tonne, maintenance compliance, and equipment utilisation. This provides transparent reporting and ensures our support delivers measurable improvements in efficiency, safety, and productivity.
Our team brings decades of hands-on experience across underground metals mining operations in Australia. From production and maintenance to workforce optimisation and continuous improvement, we provide practical, results-driven solutions that enhance safety, reliability, and operational performance.
