“…The authors of this study were inspired by previously published significant papers (Jovitt, 2020; Krzysztofik et al, 2020;Gałas et al, 2021;Mitev and Galabova, 2022;Kekeç et al, 2022;Wang et al, 2023), but they wanted to make a paper with a different methodological approach, so they determined the perception of the pandemic in the companies, which is why the surveyed companies were carefully selected, as well as the people in the companies who hold management positions. In this way, a complete picture of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the mining sector in Croatia is obtained.…”

Mining as a human activity shares the fate of humanity in all global situations that affect the planet. These are, to a lesser extent, positive effects such as the opening of the world market, the industrial revolution, etc., and, to a greater extent, negative effects such as various conflicts or pandemics that have a global character. The COVID-19 pandemic has had an unprecedented impact on all sectors of human society, justifying a scientific interest in assessing its impact at global and local levels. Recently, the World Health Organization declared the end of the pandemic, after which the Croatian government did the same. This also marks the end of the research period for the preparation of this paper. The paper is about the study of the impact of the pandemic on the Croatian mining sector in Croatia. In addition to statistical data on production and the number of employees in the mining sector, the results of a survey of economic entities and conclusions about the management of companies in crisis situations were processed.

“…A recent paper by Chinese researchers (Wang et al, 2023) shows that the pandemic significantly disrupted global metal mining and related supply chains and caused cascading impacts on the economy, climate change, and human health. The pandemic caused the global metal mining industry to decline by 10-20% in 2020.…”
