. Management adjusts forward-looking models by reference to historic mining results, including by reviewing actual versus predicted levels of production from the mineral deposit, and if necessary, re-evaluating mining methodologies if production outcomes were not realized as predicted. Ongoing mining of the mineral deposit, coupled with product quality validation pursuant to our and our customer expectations, provides further empirical evidence as to the homogeneity, continuity and characteristics of the deposit. Geologic modeling assumptions are evaluated to historic mining results and are adjusted if necessary to better reflect actual mining results. Ongoing quality validation of production also provides a means to monitor for

any potential changes in quality. Also, ongoing monitoring of ground conditions within the mine, surveying for evidence of subsidence and other visible signs of deterioration that may signal the need to re-evaluate rock mechanics and structure of the mine ultimately inform extraction ratios and mine design, which underpin mineral reserve estimates.

Management also assesses risks inherent in mineral resource and reserve estimates, such as the accuracy of geophysical data that is used to support mine planning, changes in QPs, identifying hazards and informing operations of the presence of mineable deposits. Also, management is aware of risks associated with potential gaps in assessing the completeness of mineral extraction licenses, entitlements or rights, or changes in laws or regulations that could directly impact the ability to assess mineral resources and reserves or impact production levels. Risks inherent in overestimated reserves can impact financial performance when revealed, such as changes in amortizations that are based on life of mine estimates.

South Hallsville No. 1 Mine — The Sabine Mining Company

The Sabine Mining Company (Sabine) operated the Sabine Mine in Texas. All production from Sabine was delivered to Southwestern Electric Power Company's (SWEPCO) Henry W. Pirkey Plant (the Pirkey Plant). SWEPCO is an American Electric Power (AEP) company. As a result of the early retirement of the Pirkey Plant, Sabine ceased deliveries in the first quarter of 2023 and commenced final reclamation on April 1, 2023. Funding for mine reclamation is the responsibility of SWEPCO, and Sabine receives compensation for providing mine reclamation services. Sabine will provide mine reclamation services through September 30, 2026. As of October 1, 2026, SWEPCO has an obligation to acquire all of the capital stock of Sabine and complete the remaining mine reclamation.
