Item 1.04 Mine Safety - Reporting of Shutdowns and Patterns of Violations.

On October 29, 2020, ICG Beckley, LLC, a subsidiary of Arch Resources, Inc., received an imminent danger order under section 107(a) of the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 at the Beckley Pocahontas mine located in Raleigh County, West Virginia after self-reporting the condition to MSHA and starting to evacuate the mine. The order states that an examiner found an accumulation of elevated methane levels in the mine. Mine personnel promptly took appropriate actions to alleviate the condition and restored acceptable methane levels. MSHA has allowed mining to resume, and no injuries or illnesses resulted from the temporary condition.
