Item 1.04.	Mine Safety - Reporting of Shutdowns and Patterns of Violations.	
Section 1503(b)(1) of the Dodd-Frank Act requires the disclosure on a Current Report on Form 8-K of the receipt of an imminent danger order (an “Order”) under section 107(a) of the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 issued by the Mine Safety and Health Administration (“MSHA”).
On March 27, 2019, Northshore Mining Company (the “Company”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cleveland-Cliffs Inc., received an Order from MSHA alleging that loose material was observed falling from a partially frozen, blasted surface bank at the Company's mine in Minnesota. The Order further alleged that the material had thawed because of warmer weather temperatures and had fallen to the area below due to an unmaintained catch bench. The Company removed equipment and restricted access to the area. The Company is considering its legal options and may dispute the issuance of the Order.
The condition cited in the Order referred to above did not result in an accident or injury and is not expected to have a material adverse impact on the Company’s operations at the mine.
