Item 1.04.
Mine Safety - Reporting of Shutdowns and Patterns of Violations.
Section 1503(b)(1) of the Dodd-Frank Act requires the disclosure on a Current Report on Form 8-K of the receipt of an imminent danger order (an Order) under section 107(a) of the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 issued by the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA).
On November 25, 2014, Pinnacle Mining Company, LLC (the Company), a wholly owned subsidiary of Cliffs Natural Resources Inc., received an Order from MSHA due to an elevated level of methane in a high cavity area at the Companys mine in West Virginia. Crews quickly flushed the methane out of the area to return levels to normal, and the Order was terminated thereafter. The condition cited in the Order did not result in an accident or injury and is not expected to have a material adverse impact on the Companys operations at the mine.
