Restructuring
Restructuring	Note 2—Restructuring In response to the current depressed price environment for metallurgical coal, the Company decided in the first quarter of 2013 to curtail production at the Willow Creek mine in the Canadian and U.K. Operations segment. This curtailment will result in a workforce reduction of approximately 250 employees. The Company also plans to close the North River mine in 2013 approximately nine months earlier than the previously expected end of mine life of 2014. In connection with the curtailment of operations at the Willow Creek mine, the Company recognized a restructuring charge of approximately $7.4 million consisting of severance charges of approximately $4.4 million and contract termination costs of $3.0 million. The majority of the employee termination costs are expected to be paid during the second quarter of 2013. These charges are presented under restructuring charges in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
