Exhibit 95

Mine Safety Disclosure

The following disclosures are provided pursuant to Section 1503(a) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and Section 104 of Regulation S-K, which require certain disclosures by companies required to file periodic reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that operate mines regulated under the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977.

During the second quarter of 2012, for each coal mine we operated: the total number of violations of mandatory health or safety standards that could significantly and substantially contribute to the cause and effect of a coal or other mine safety or health hazard under Section 104 of the Mine Act for which we received a citation from the Mine Safety and Health Administration (“MSHA”) was ten (10) as shown in the following Table OXF-MSHA-1; the total number of orders issued under Section 104(b) of the Mine Act was zero (0); the total number of citations and orders for unwarrantable failure to comply with mandatory health or safety standards under Section 104(d) of the Mine Act was zero (0); the total number of flagrant violations under Section 110(b)(2) of the Mine Act was zero (0); the total number of imminent danger orders issued under Section 107(a) of the Mine Act was zero (0); the total dollar value of the proposed assessments from MSHA under the Mine Act was $28,861; and the total number of mining-related fatalities was zero (0). In addition, no coal mine of which we were the operator received written notice from MSHA of a pattern of violations, or the potential to have such a pattern, 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 or safety hazards under Section 104(e) of the Mine Act. The legal actions pending before the Federal Mine Safety and Health Review Commission (the “Commission”) are shown in the following Table OXF-MSHA-2.
