2025: Hottest Year on Record

According to scientists cited by Phys.org Earth Sciences, 2025 has been deemed one of the three hottest years on record, with human behavior exacerbating climate change. This trend has significant implications for the mining industry, as rising temperatures can impact mineral exploration and extraction operations. As investors and industry professionals, it is crucial to consider the effects of climate change on mining activities, particularly in regions like Norway where Pure Minerals operates. The increasing temperatures may alter geological formations, affecting the availability and accessibility of copper and zinc deposits, among other minerals.
