Item 8.01. Other Events.

On July 21, 2010, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) was enacted. Section 1503 of the Dodd-Frank Act requires a Current Report on Form 8-K if a company receives written notice from the Mine Safety and Health Administration (“MSHA”) that a company mine has (1) a pattern of violations of mandatory health or safety standards that are of such nature as could have significantly and substantially contributed to the cause and effect of coal or other mine health or safety hazards under section 104(e) of the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 (the “Mine Act”) or (2) the potential to have such a pattern.

On March 7, 2013, Patriot reported that MSHA notified Brody Mining, LLC (“Brody”) that a potential pattern of violations under Section 104(e) of the Mine Act exists at the Brody Mine No. 1 (the “Mine”). After reviewing information provided by Brody, MSHA concluded that no potential pattern of violations exists under Section 104(e) at the Mine and withdrew the notice of potential pattern of violations on March 28, 2013. No employees have been harmed, and production remains unaffected.
