Heat Waves Impact

According to a recent study published on Phys.org Earth Sciences, wealth and age create a hidden divide in people's ability to withstand heat waves. The study, which tracked the movements of 1 billion mobile phone devices, found that common measures to protect people living in cities often fail to help the most vulnerable. As the World Meteorological Organization warns that the last three years are the warmest on record, this poses a concern for mining operations, particularly in regions with extreme temperatures. Investors and industry professionals in the mineral exploration sector should take note of the potential risks and challenges associated with heat waves, and consider strategies to mitigate their impact on mining operations and local communities.
