Our mine employees are also covered by workers’ compensation and such costs were approximately $4.0 million and $4.9 million for 2024 and 2023, respectively, and are recorded in “labor” in the consolidated statements of operations. Workers’ compensation is a no-fault system by which individuals who sustain work-related injuries or occupational diseases are compensated. Benefits and coverage are mandated by each state which includes disability ratings, medical claims, rehabilitation services, and death and survivor benefits. We are partially self-insured for such claims, however, its operations are protected from these perils through stop-loss insurance policies. Our maximum annual exposure is limited to $1.0 million per occurrence with a $4.0 million aggregate deductible.
