Item 1.04. Mine Safety – Reporting of Shutdowns and Patterns of Violations.
On July 9, 2026, Peabody Powder River Mining, LLC, a subsidiary of Peabody Energy Corporation, received an imminent danger order issued by the Mine Safety and Health Administration (“MSHA”) under Section 107(a) of the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 at the North Antelope Rochelle surface mine located in Campbell County, Wyoming (“NARM”). The order was issued because the catch berm at the base of a highwall adjacent to an active haul road had filled with material and additional loose material on the highwall could overtop the berm and fall onto the roadway used by haul trucks and other vehicles. NARM personnel promptly took appropriate actions to alleviate the condition, including removing miners from the affected area, and MSHA terminated the 107(a) order later that same day. No injuries resulted from the condition.
