- “Risks relating to our operations , such as those associated with mining and other conditions, many of which are beyond our control, disruptions in transportation services, the availability of skilled workers, higher than estimated employee benefit costs, the availability of coal reserves, equipment availability, equipment breakdown, higher than anticipated property reclamation or mine closure c...”
- “Both the frequency and magnitude of cyberattacks are expected to increase, and attackers are becoming more sophisticated, particularly given the increasing availability and sophistication of "artificial intelligence" systems.”
