On July 10, 2022, we experienced a material methane ignition at our Berwind mining complex. The cause of the ignition is unknown. We, in conjunction with the appropriate state and federal regulatory authorities, will be conducting a full investigation into the incident. The mine was idle at the time of the incident, and there were no personnel in the mine nor any injuries or fatalities. We are evaluating the extent of the damage. Production from the Berwind Complex is expected to be impacted for an indeterminant period of time. We will provide additional information regarding plans for both the rehabilitation and restarting of the mine as it becomes available.
