EXHIBIT 95

MINE SAFETY AND HEALTH DATA

On July 21, 2010, the Dodd-Frank Act was enacted. Section 1503 of the Dodd-Frank Act contains new reporting requirements regarding coal or other mine safety and authorizes the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) to issue rules regarding the reporting requirements. On December 21, 2011, the SEC issued final rules concerning the reporting requirements. These rules became effective on January 27, 2012. The following is provided per the Dodd-Frank Act reporting requirements.

The operation of our mines is subject to regulation by the federal Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) under the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 (the Mine Act). MSHA inspects our mines on a regular basis and issues various citations and orders when it believes a violation has occurred under the Mine Act. The table below presents information regarding certain mining safety and health citations which MSHA has issued with respect to our coal 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 coal 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, may be reduced in severity and amount, and are sometimes dismissed.

The information below includes references to specific sections of the Mine Act. The information provided is for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2012, except for pending legal actions, which are as of March 31, 2012:

Pending Legal Actions 

The following Table reports, by category, the types of pending legal actions we have before the Federal Mine Safety and Health Review Commission as of March 31, 2012 and relates to the Pending Legal Actions reported in column 9 of Table I above.

Potential Pattern of Violation and Pattern of Violation Information

Pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Act and the implementing regulations issued by the SEC, we are required to disclose whether any mine of which we or a subsidiary of us is an operator, receives written notice from MSHA of (a) a pattern of violations of mandatory health or safety standards that are of such nature as could have significantly and substantially contributed to the cause and effect of coal or other mine health and safety hazards under section 104(e) of such Act (30 U.S.C. 814 (e)), or (b) the potential to have such a pattern; during the year ended December 31, 2011.

On November 18, 2010, Bledsoe Coal Corporation, a subsidiary of James River Coal Company, received written notification that a potential pattern of violation exists at its Abner Branch Rider Mine.The notification was based on a screening of compliance records for the 12 months ended August 31, 2010 and of accident and employment records for the 12 months ending June 30, 2010. On April 12, 2011, MSHA notified Bledsoe that a Pattern of Violation (“POV”) existed at Abner Branch. As a result, if MSHA finds any violation of a mandatory health or safety standard that could significantly and substantially contribute to the cause and effect of a coal or other mine safety or health hazard, MSHA shall require all persons in the areas affected by such violation, except those persons referred to in Section 104(c) of the Mine Act, to be withdrawn from, and to be prohibited from entering such area until MSHA determines the violation has been abated. A POV can be terminated when 1) an inspection of the entire mine is completed and no S&S violations are found or 2) no withdrawal order is issued by MSHA in accordance with Section 104(e)(1) of the Mine Act within 90 days of the issuance of the pattern notice. The POV could have a significant impact on the operations of that mine. 

The Abner Branch Rider Mine produced approximately 293,000 tons in 2011, of which approximately 206,000 tons were produced after being placed on POV.
