According to Phys.org Earth Sciences, 'climate whiplash' is driving unpredictable fire weather, posing a significant risk to mining operations. Recent extreme heat and windy conditions in Victoria and New South Wales have led to over 30 blazes, highlighting the need for mineral exploration companies to consider climate-related risks. As reported, major fires in the Otways and near the NSW-Victoria border have raised concerns about the impact of climate change on mining activities. This emphasizes the importance of factoring in environmental factors during exploration and mining operations to ensure sustainable and resilient practices.
