Exhibit 95.1
Mine Safety Disclosures
Safety is
 
the cornerstone
 
of our
 
Company’s values
 
and is
 
the number
 
one priority
 
for all employees
 
at Coronado
 
Global Resources.
 
Our mining
 
operation at
 
Curragh,
located in Australia, is
 
subject to regulation by
 
the Queensland Department of Natural
 
Resources, Mine and Energy, or DNRME, under the Coal
 
Mining Safety and Health
Act 1999 (Qld). The
 
operation of our mines
 
located in the United
 
States is subject to
 
regulation by the Mine
 
Safety and Health Administration, or
 
MSHA, under the Federal
Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977, or the Mine Act. MSHA inspects
 
these mines on a regular basis and issues various citations and orders
 
when it believes a violation
has occurred
 
under the Mine
 
Act. We
 
present information
 
below regarding
 
certain mining
 
safety and
 
health citations
 
that MSHA
 
has issued with
 
respect to
 
our mining
operations. In evaluating
 
this information, consideration
 
should be given to
 
factors such as:
 
(i) the number of
 
citations and orders will
 
vary depending on the
 
size of the
mine; (ii) the number of
 
citations issued will vary
 
from inspector to inspector
 
and mine to mine;
 
and (iii) citations and
 
orders can be contested
 
and appealed and, in
 
that
process, are often reduced in severity and amount, and
 
are sometimes dismissed. Since MSHA is a branch
 
of the U.S. Department of Labor,
 
its jurisdiction only applies
to our operations in the United States.
 
As such, the mine safety disclosures included herein do
 
not contain information related to our Australian mines.
Under the Dodd-Frank Act, each operator
 
of a coal or other mine is
 
required to include certain mine safety
 
results within its periodic reports
 
filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission,
 
or the
 
SEC. As
 
required by
 
the reporting
 
requirements
 
included in
 
§1503(a) of
 
the Dodd-Frank
 
Act and
 
Item 104
 
of Regulation
 
S-K (17
 
CFR
229.104), we
 
present the
 
following items
 
regarding certain
 
mining safety
 
and health
 
matters, for
 
the quarter
 
ended June
 
30, 2022,
 
for each
 
of our U.S.
 
mine locations
that are covered under the scope of the Dodd-Frank
 
Act.
The table that
 
follows reflects
 
citations and orders
 
issued to us
 
by MSHA
 
during the
 
quarter ended June
 
30, 2022.
 
The table
 
only includes
 
those U.S.
 
mines that
 
were
issued orders
 
or citations
 
during this
 
period, and commensurate
 
with SEC regulations,
 
does not
 
reflect orders
 
or citations
 
issued to independent
 
contractors working
 
at
our mines.
 
The proposed assessments for the quarter
 
ended June 30, 2022, were retrieved from the MSHA Data Retrieval
 
System, or MSHA DRS, as of July 5, 2022.
