Mine Safety Disclosures

Our mines are operated subject to the regulation of the Federal Mine Safety and Health Administration ("MSHA"), under the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 (the "Mine Act"). In July 2010, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the "Dodd-Frank Act") was signed into law, and amended in December 2011. When MSHA believes a violation of the Mine Act has occurred, it may issue a citation for such violation, including a civil penalty or fine, and the mine operator must abate the alleged violation.

As required by the reporting requirements of the Dodd-Frank Act, as amended, the table below presents the following information for the quarter ended September 30, 2026.
