Mine Safety Disclosures**\n\n** **\n\nFor Western, safety is a core value, and we strive\nfor superior performance. Our health and safety management system, which includes detailed standards and procedures for safe production,\naddresses topics such as employee training, risk management, workplace inspection, emergency response, accident investigation, and program\nauditing. In addition to strong leadership and involvement from all levels of the organization, these programs and procedures form the\ncornerstone of safety at Western, ensuring that employees are provided a safe and healthy environment and are intended to reduce workplace\naccidents, incidents and losses, comply with all mining-related regulations and provide support for both regulators and the industry to\nimprove mine safety.\n\n \n\nThe operation of our U.S. based mine is subject\nto regulation by the Federal Mine Safety and Health Administration (“MSHA”) under the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of\n1977 (the “Mine Act”). MSHA inspects our mine on a regular basis and issues various citations and orders when it believes\na violation has occurred under the Mine Act Following passage of The Mine Improvement and New Emergency Response Act of 2006, MSHA significantly\nincreased the number of citations and orders charged against mining operations. The dollar penalties assessed for citations issued has\nalso increased in recent years.\n\n \n\nPursuant to Section 1503(a) of the Dodd-Frank\nWall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the “Dodd-Frank Act”), issuers that are operators, or that have a\nsubsidiary that is an operator, of a coal or other mine in the United States, and that is subject to regulation by the Federal Mine Safety\nand Health Administration under the Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 (“Mine Safety Act”), are required to disclose in their\nperiodic reports filed with the Commission information regarding specified health and safety violations, orders and citations, related\nassessments and legal actions, and mining-related fatalities. Western went into active mining operations at the Sunday Mine Complex during\n2021. During the quarter ended March 31, 2026, Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) mine inspections have not yielded any disclosures\nrequired by Section 1503(a) of the Dodd-Frank Act."}
