Aisix Solutions Inc. (AISX:TSX.V; AISXF:OTCQB; QT7: FSE) has announced its plans to launch MineSafe Wildfire in February 2025. This advanced wildfire risk intelligence solution is designed to help mining and exploration companies manage wildfire threats using cutting-edge technology.

The MineSafe Wildfire platform leverages Wildfire 3.0, a next-generation modeling system powered by artificial intelligence and machine learning. The system combines probabilistic and physically based modeling algorithms to forecast wildfire probability, intensity, and expected losses under varying climate scenarios. Additionally, the system's capabilities include historical wildfire pattern analysis, current risk evaluation, and future hazard projections. These insights aim to help companies mitigate disruptions to operations, protect assets, and ensure workforce safety.

"MineSafe Wildfire provides AI-powered intelligence that enables proactive risk management, helping companies anticipate and mitigate wildfire risks before they escalate," said Mihalis Belantis, CEO of AISIX Solutions, in the press release. The platform is designed to serve various stakeholders, including mining operators, environmental risk managers, ESG compliance teams, and insurance providers.

Wildfires pose significant risks to the mining industry, including damage to infrastructure, operational delays, and increased business interruption costs. With global climate change intensifying wildfire activity, tools like MineSafe Wildfire provide essential climate resilience for the sector. The platform also aligns with environmental, social, and governance (ESG) standards by offering actionable data for wildfire risk management.

On January 27, AISIX announced a short-term loan agreement with 1821 Capital Corp. for US$430,000, dated January 24. The loan, secured by a first priority over all company assets, carries a six-month term with a 10% annual interest rate, payable upon maturity. Issued at a 5% original discount, the loan also includes 6,000,000 common share purchase warrants, exercisable at US$0.05 per share for 12 months.

As the lender's principal, CEO Mihalis Belantis increased his partially diluted holdings in the company to approximately 18.75% following the issuance of the warrants. The transaction was unanimously approved by the board of directors, adhering to Multilateral Instrument 61-101 regulations for related party transactions. AISIX expedited the loan to support business operations, emphasizing its commitment to growth and operational flexibility.

The Rising Demand for Climate Adaptation Technologies Amid Escalating Wildfire Risks

The climate risk analytics and adaptation technologies sector has emerged as a critical industry in response to increasing climate risks, particularly wildfires, droughts, and hurricanes. In the context of escalating global temperatures and intensifying weather events, companies in this sector are providing innovative solutions to help industries adapt and build resilience against climate-related challenges.

Wildfires, in particular, have had significant economic and societal impacts. According to Jeff Siegel in Energy and Capital on January 17, the economic costs of wildfires in the United States were estimated to range from US$394 billion to US$893 billion annually, as reported by the U.S. Congress Joint Economic Committee. These figures encompass damages to property, infrastructure, and business operations. Additionally, Siegel noted that wildfire smoke exposure in 2021 caused 6,200 respiratory hospital visits and resulted in US$16 billion in annual healthcare costs related to particulate matter pollution (PM2.5). These statistics highlight the urgency for technological solutions to mitigate wildfire risks.

As Siegel further explained, companies focused on climate adaptation technologies have capitalized on the need for proactive measures in industries such as mining, real estate, and insurance. He described this trend as “crisis = opportunity,” emphasizing that advancements in artificial intelligence and machine learning have enabled real-time detection and risk analysis of wildfire events. These technologies have allowed businesses to prepare for and respond to climate threats more effectively, reducing long-term economic losses and enhancing safety.

Chloe Aiello, writing for Inc. on January 21, highlighted the broader implications of government policies on climate-related industries. She reported on actions by the U.S. government to reduce participation in global climate initiatives, such as the Paris Agreement, while promoting domestic energy production. These policy shifts have added complexity to the regulatory landscape, potentially increasing the burden on businesses to independently manage climate risks.

The role of artificial intelligence in advancing climate adaptation technologies was emphasized by Jennifer L. in Carbon Credits on January 22. She reported that while climate tech venture capital funding declined globally for three consecutive years, certain AI-driven subsectors, such as wildfire risk analytics, gained momentum. Jennifer noted that energy and building technologies tied to AI saw funding increases, with energy-focused technologies reaching US$9.4 billion — a 12% increase from the prior year. These innovations have been driven by AI's capacity to enhance predictive modeling and enable more precise decision-making in climate risk management.

On January 24, Sara Schonhardt and Arianna Skibell in Politico discussed how climate-focused technologies continue to gain relevance despite shifting governmental priorities. They observed that the rising demand for energy to power artificial intelligence data centers has increased attention to sustainable solutions, including those aimed at addressing climate risks such as wildfires. Although federal commitments to climate initiatives have fluctuated, the private sector has increasingly prioritized innovative technologies to meet regulatory standards and address long-term risks.

MineSafe Wildfire: Empowering Proactive Climate Risk Management in Mining

The launch of MineSafe Wildfire marks a key milestone for AISIX Solutions as the company strengthens its position in climate risk analytics. The company's Q1 2025 investor presentation highlights its mission to empower decision-makers with precise climate insights. By focusing on the mining sector - a critical industry affected by climate change — AISIX positions itself firmly within the sector for climate risk management solutions.

MineSafe Wildfire's integration with Wildfire 3.0 introduces a range of innovative features, including Cell2Fire2, a new fire growth modeling system. This advancement improves the simulation of large fire spreads, delivering more precise data on fire size, intensity, and potential damage. AISIX also provides users with tailored insights for specific mining sites, ensuring compatibility with existing ESG reporting frameworks.

AISIX's broader offerings, detailed in its investor presentation, include flexible data formats, seamless API integration, and customizable solutions for diverse industries, such as insurance, governments, and financial institutions. With its DAAS (Data as a Service) and SAAS (Software as a Service) business models, the company generates revenue through subscription fees and tiered pricing options.

AISIX's partnership network and recent developments, such as its role in the National Flood Hazard Data Layer project, demonstrate its commitment to providing actionable climate data. With the growing focus on climate resilience across industries, AISIX is well-positioned to address the increasing demand for comprehensive climate risk solutions, including wildfire risk management for mining operations.

The launch of MineSafe Wildfire in February 2025 aligns with AISIX's vision of transforming climate data into intelligent decisions, further solidifying its role in the global effort to address climate-related challenges.
