Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures.

The safety and health of all employees is our highest priority. Management believes that safety and health considerations are integral to, and compatible with, all other functions in the organization and that proper safety and health management will enhance production and reduce costs. Our approach towards the health and safety of our workforce is to continuously improve performance through implementing robust management systems and providing adequate training, safety incentive and occupational health programs.

Our objective is zero work place injuries and occupational illnesses. We measure progress toward achieving our objective against regularly established benchmarks, including measuring company-wide Total Recordable Incident Rates (TRIR). During 2013, our TRIR (including contractors) was 0.74 per 200,000 man-hours worked, compared to the preliminary metal mining sector industry average reported by the U.S. Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) for 2013 of 2.35 per 200,000 man-hours worked. Our TRIR (including contractors) was 0.58 per 200,000 man-hours worked in 2012 and 0.61 per 200,000 man-hours worked in 2011, compared to MSHA’s metal mining sector industry average of 2.25 per 200,000 man-hours worked in 2012 and 2.29 per 200,000 man-hours worked in 2011.

Refer to Exhibit 95.1 for mine safety disclosures required in accordance with Section 1503(a) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and Item 104 of Regulation S-K.
