Severe weather is an ever-present challenge for mining operations, impacting worker safety, production schedules, and operational costs. Weather can disrupt even the most well-planned mining schedules, from sudden lightning storms to prolonged rain events. Early Warning Network is helping mining companies stay ahead of the weather with proactive, data-driven solutions designed to protect workers, equipment, and production timelines.
A compelling example of this in action is our recent partnership with Core Lithium, where our tailored weather intelligence is driving real results on the ground.
Core Lithium is Prioritising Safety and Operational Efficiency with EWN
Core Lithium's Site Manager had this to say about working with EWN:
“EWN’s alerts allow us to prioritise safety by securing our teams and equipment in high-risk weather, like lightning storms, which helps prevent injuries and equipment damage. With reliable, accurate data, we’re also able to make proactive decisions that mitigate financial losses caused by downtime.”
This insight captures how EWN’s solutions enable mining operators to shift from reactive responses to proactive decision-making. By accessing real-time weather alerts and precision forecasting, Core Lithium can ensure the safety of its teams, protect its assets, and reduce financial risk.
How EWN’s Mining Solutions Work
At EWN, we understand that mining operations are uniquely vulnerable to severe weather. From site-specific thresholds to tailored alerting systems, we work with each client to deliver actionable intelligence that drives safety and efficiency. Our mining solutions are designed to support operations in key ways:
Granular, site-specific forecasts
Mining operations require site-specific forecasts tailored to unique weather thresholds that affect worker safety, shift scheduling, and operational continuity. EWN delivers hyper-localised weather forecasts so that mining companies can act with confidence.
Real-time visibility across all operations
Knowing where and when weather will strike is crucial for large, multi-site mining operations. The EWN Geographic Information System (GIS) platform provides a complete view of weather impacts on all your sites, in real time. View all assets, fleets, and operations overlaid with live weather data — all on a single screen - and track severe weather threats as they approach site locations and protect equipment, vehicles, and infrastructure in advance.

The Cost of Inaction: Why Mining Operators Must Stay Ahead of the Weather
Weather-driven downtime is one of the most costly disruptions in mining operations. Heavy rain, flooding, lightning, and high winds can force mines to halt operations, relocate workers, or delay production schedules. Every minute of downtime has a financial impact. Without precise forecasts and actionable alerts, companies are left exposed to avoidable costs, missed deadlines, and higher operational risk.
With EWN’s mining solutions, companies shift from reactive to proactive responses. By using predictive weather intelligence, mining operators can plan better, schedule around weather risks, and maintain continuity even in challenging conditions.
