Item 1.04                                           Mine Safety - Reporting of Shutdowns and Patterns of Violations.
 
Section 1503 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street and Consumer Protection Act (the "Act") requires a Current Report on Form 8-K if a company is issued an imminent danger order under Section 107(a) of the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 (the "Mine Act") issued by the federal Mine Safety and Health Administration ("MSHA").

On February 14, 2023, Warrior Met Coal Mining, LLC, a subsidiary of Warrior Met Coal, Inc. (the "Company") received an imminent danger order under Section 107(a) of the Mine Act at the Mine No. 7 Mine. On that date, an MSHA representative allegedly observed two miners working near the belt tail roller with belt tail guards removed, while the belt line was actively running. Mine No. 7 management personnel immediately mitigated the situation. No injuries resulted from the condition and production at the mine was briefly interrupted but has resumed. The Company intends to contest the 107(a) order and any accompanying citations.
