ITEM 8.01 Other Events.
On July 21, 2010, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank
Act”) was enacted. 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”) issued under section
107(a) of the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977.
On February 10, 2011 (the “Order Date”), Oxford Mining Company — Kentucky, LLC (the “Company”), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Oxford Mining Company, LLC which is a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Oxford Resource Partners, LP, received from the federal Mine Safety and
Health Administration (“MSHA”) an Order pertaining to its Rose France Mine (the “RFM Order”). The
RFM Order, which was issued at 1000 hours on the Order Date, stated that a haul truck was located
in an auger pit at the Rose France Mine with the cab of the truck parallel with the high wall and
less than 8 feet from the high wall. The driver and truck were immediately moved away from the
high wall and a safety talk was given to the driver of the haul truck, with the RFM Order thereupon
being terminated at 1003 hours on the Order Date.
The condition cited in the RFM Order did not result in an accident or injury and had no material
adverse impact on the Company’s operations at the Rose France Mine.
