How did the pandemic affect the mining sector?

The COVID-19 pandemic had numerous impacts on the mining industry, including that it:
  • caused prices for a number of commodities to decline considerably as demand for these materials was reduced in the agriculture, construction, energy, and manufacturing sectors
  • disrupted the operations of mining companies, resulting in reduced output
  • raised costs due to the need to increase sanitation and reduce the number of workers in a space
  • caused international trade in mined commodities to decline and produced severe fluctuations in the value of currencies around the world
  • made securing financing for equipment and machinery purchases more difficult
