Wildfires Impact Mining

According to a recent article on Phys.org Earth Sciences, wildfires are becoming more severe and frequent due to global warming, posing a significant threat to mining operations and water supplies. The United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction estimates that global damage from wildfires averaged $106 billion per year between 2014 and 2023. This trend has significant implications for the mining industry, particularly in regions prone to wildfires, such as the US. As mineral exploration companies, including those operating in Norway, it is essential to consider the potential risks and impacts of wildfires on operations and the environment.
