Item 1.04
Mine Safety – Reporting of Shutdowns and Patterns of Violations

On December 13, 2016, Peabody Midwest Mining, LLC, a subsidiary of Peabody Energy Corporation, was issued an imminent danger order under section 107(a) of the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977. The mine involved was the Wildcat Hills Underground Mine located in Saline County, Illinois. On that date, an inspector from the Mine Safety and Health Administration alleged that a miner was working on a shorted battery without wearing all the proper protective gear. The work was ceased immediately and the order was terminated without injury to any employees or damage to any equipment.
