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, 2023, for each of our U.S. 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, 2023. The table only includes those U.S. 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, 2023, were retrieved from the MSHA Data Retrieval System, or MSHA DRS, as of April 3, 2023.
