As a high hazard industry, casualty risks are inherent, but mining companies must also contend with new challenges such as an industrywide decline in financial solvency, consolidation, and an aging workforce. In addition, industry-specific risks such as environmental and reclamation bonding make it difficult for mining companies to remain financially competitive.
