The High-Speed Development Specialists
Metrics that Impress!
Development sets the pace of the mine.
When development accelerates, access to ore accelerates. Revenue is brought forward, unit costs fall, and production stability improves across crews and shifts. High-speed development brings ore online sooner, reduces cost per metre, lifts utilisation of existing equipment, and removes variability from the development cycle. When executed correctly, development is no longer a constraint - it becomes a competitive advantage.
High-speed development unlocks value across six critical performance drivers:
- More metres per jumbo per month
Increased development output without additional capital investment.
- Lower cost per metre
Less waste, fewer delays, and improved utilisation of labour and equipment.
- Higher effective jumbo utilisation
Stronger returns from the existing fleet through disciplined cycle execution.
- Reduced non-productive cycle time
More face time, smoother transitions, and faster turnaround between cycles.
- Reduced rework and rehabilitation
Fewer redrills, less rehabilitation, and minimal disruption to production schedules.
- Lower plan variance
Predictable development delivery, tighter schedules, and increased confidence in mine plans.
Our structured approach delivers fast, consistent, and safe development performance, turning metres into momentum and plans into reality.
