Item 1.04 Mine Safety --Reporting of Shutdowns and Patterns of Violations.

Section 1503(a) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act obligates registrants to report the issuance of imminent danger orders issued by the Federal Mine Safety and Health Administration (“MSHA”), a division of the U.S. Department of Labor, pursuant to Section 107(a) of the Federal Miner Safety and Health Act of 1977.

On July 17, 2012, MSHA issued an imminent danger order citing the registrant for elevated levels of nitrogen dioxide in the A-Bed level of its Troy copper and silver mine in northwestern Montana.

The order did not result in any interruption of production or lost time. All of the registrant’s employees at the A-Bed level were evacuated from the area when elevated levels of nitrogen dioxide were first detected, which was prior to the issuance of the order. Nitrogen dioxide levels in the A-Bed area were reduced to acceptable levels approximately 30 minutes after the order was issued.

The registrant intends to contest the issuance of the order.
