eBook: Mine with confidence using modern weather insights

Mining is one of the most weather vulnerable industries in the world, and extreme weather events are growing in frequency and intensity — bringing challenges for productivity, profitability and worker safety.

General weather information may not tell you exactly what to expect at your mining site, but modern weather observation and forecasting technology makes this easier than ever. Explore the ways extreme — and even not so extreme — weather creates safety risks at the mining site and how you can enhance preparedness, from minimizing downtime to optimizing water management. The Fruta del Norte gold mine in Ecuador provides a real-life example.
