| Project | Underground paste fill crew mobilisation and operational support at Golden Grove, Western Australia, for 29 Metals. |
| Client | 29 Metals |
| Location | Golden Grove, Western Australia |
| Scope | Establish and operate a dedicated underground paste fill crew, including mobilising personnel, equipment, and support systems required to safely and efficiently deliver paste fill operations, while working closely with site technical services, paste plant, engineering, and operations teams. |
The Challenge

29 Metals required a fully functional underground paste fill crew to be mobilised and operationalised within a critical timeframe. The crew needed to support backfill requirements essential to stope sequencing and production continuity, while meeting site geotechnical, safety, and operational requirements.
Our Solution

AZROC rapidly mobilised experienced paste fill personnel and supervisory staff to establish a dedicated underground paste crew at Golden Grove. We integrated with the client's paste plant and engineering teams to align fill schedules, operational requirements, and site priorities.
Our team implemented site-specific procedures, training, and competency assessments to support safe and consistent delivery. AZROC also provided ongoing operational support, including troubleshooting, scheduling coordination, and shift handovers.
People and Equipment Mobilised
Experienced underground paste fill personnel, supervisory staff, and supporting operational resources.
Safety and Delivery Approach
AZROC worked collaboratively with site technical services, engineering, paste plant, and operations teams to align paste delivery with approved fill schedules and geotechnical requirements. Delivery was supported through site-specific procedures, workforce training, competency assessments, clear handovers, and ongoing operational troubleshooting.
Outcome

AZROC successfully established a fully operational underground paste crew within the project's critical timeline. The team supported stope backfill schedules, maintained compliance with geotechnical and safety requirements, and contributed to uninterrupted production flow through timely and reliable paste delivery.
