REPORTING EXCELLENCE

TRAINING

Performance Reporting & Measurable ROI

At Trade Mining Services, we believe training shouldn’t be a box-ticking exercise. It should deliver visible, bottom-line results. That’s why every program we run includes comprehensive, data-driven reporting to keep management informed and track operator development.
What Our Reports Deliver to Your Management Team:

    •    Verified Production Gains: We benchmark post-training operator data directly against your site’s fleet management metrics (such as Pitram) to show precise, verifiable percentage increases in lineal meters drilled per operating hour.
    •    Operator Capability Matrices: Get clear visibility over individual crew development. Our matrix scoring tracks specific structural competencies in both boring and bolting, helping you identify your top performers and target future coaching needs.
    •    Cost & Waste Reduction Insights: We don’t just watch the drills; we watch the face. Our reports actively identify and target costly operational deviations—like overbreak and poor look-out angles—saving you thousands in unnecessary mucking, fibercrete, and ground support.

'I had the privilege of being trained by Zane as an Underground Jumbo Operator and I cannot speak highly enough of the experience & patience he showed me. He helped me to up my skills from trainee to capable operator.
I am immensely grateful for the opportunity to learn from Zane. His expertise, passion and commitment to excellence have equipped me with the skills needed to operate the jumbo effectively. I wholeheartedly recommend Zane to anyone seeking top-notch training in the field.'

'Trade mining services adapted their training style to suit my abilities for me to learn quicker
If that meant drawing pictures on paper or painting on ground to make it clear and precise.
My cycle time has definitely improved and understanding how to actually turn a decline with the theory to back the process. Their knowledge and experience of mining practices is second to none."

Dean Frecklington

'Dion and Zane of Trade Mining Services have been a key part of my development as a competent mining operator here at the Waihi Underground Mine. Their knowledge of various ground support installation, face drilling and other mining techniques have helped increase my productivity & cycle times by upwards of 25% over the last six months in the testing conditions we have here in Waihi. I would recommend their services to any mine site looking to up-skill their operators to be able to perform at the highest quality and industry standard. Not only are they great teachers they are also good blokes to work with'
