Risky business for Australian miners
Climate change and natural disasters, as well as commodity price risks were topping the list of concerns for Australian miners, a new report by KPMG has found.
KPMG partner and mining risk specialist Caron Sugars said on Tuesday that profound changes had occurred since KPMG conducted its 2020 global mining risk survey in January this year, with the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic, and that the challenges of the global pandemic has driven the mining sector’s immediate planning, decision making and risk mitigation actions.
