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 March
 
31,
 
2022, for each
 
of our 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 March 31, 2022.
 
The table only includes those 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 March 31, 2022, were
 
retrieved from the MSHA Data Retrieval System,
 
or MSHA DRS, as of April 4, 2022.
