Good afternoon. My name is Chad, and I will be your conference operator today. At this time, I would like to welcome everyone to the Warrior Met Coal Q3 2021 financial results conference call. All lines have been placed on mute to prevent any background noise. After the speaker's remarks, there will be a question-and-answer session. If you would like to ask a question during this time, simply press star then the number one on your telephone keypad. If you would like to withdraw your question, please press star then two. This call is being recorded and will be available for replay on the company's website. Before we begin, I have been asked to note that today's discussion may contain forward-looking statements and actual results may differ materially from those discussed. For more information regarding forward-looking statements, please refer to the company's press release and SEC filings. I have also been asked to note that the company has posted reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures discussed during this call in the tables accompanying the company's earnings press release located on the Investors section of the company's website at www.warriormetcoal.com. In addition to the earnings release, the company has posted a brief supplemental slide presentation to the Investors section of its website at www.warriormetcoal.com. Here today to discuss the company results are Mr. Walt Scheller, Chief Executive Officer, and Mr. Dale Boyles, Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Scheller, you may begin your remarks. Thanks, operator. Hello, everyone, and thank you for taking the time to join us today to discuss our Q3 2021 results. After my remarks, Dale will review our results in additional detail, and then you'll have the opportunity to ask questions. During the Q3, we were pleased to deliver our most profitable results since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, driven by the resiliency and efficiency of our operational base. As we have discussed over the past several quarters, our priority during the COVID-19 pandemic has been to focus on the things that we can control, our operations and cost base, to set us up for success when market conditions outside of our control improve. This work has already been fruitful, with the company maximizing its potential despite generally tough conditions during that period. Now, with macro factors having become tailwinds instead of headwinds, we can see just how meaningful our work over the last 20 months has been for our company in delivering strong results and creating value for our stakeholders. This quarter, we saw record high pricing, enabling us to leverage the strong global economic recovery to increase our average net selling prices. Steel and met coal demand have continued to increase, which, when combined with the Chinese ban on Australian coal imports, has created an ideal environment for our operationally strong enterprise to demonstrate our resiliency. Even with the current upswing in the macro environment, however, we continue to focus on managing expenses, enhancing liquidity, and increasing cash flows with the objective of remaining well-positioned to meet our customers' long-term commitments in the face of any potential future market volatility. Throughout the Q3, our customers continued to experience strong demand for their steel products, which translated into strong demand for our premium quality coals. The combination of solid market fundamentals across the world and ongoing geopolitical tensions between the world's largest met coal consumer, and the world's largest met coal producer have elevated pricing for our products to levels we have never seen before. China remains locked in a self-imposed supply constraint due to the continued ban on the import of Australian coals, its rigid COVID-19 protocols at the Mongolian border crossing and due to policy measures that have limited output of domestic met coal production. In addition, the Chinese government's mandate to keep steel production growth at 0% compared to 2020 has led to drastic cuts in steel production. As such, Chinese producers have been able to absorb higher met coal prices as their margins have remained quite healthy due to higher steel prices and lower iron ore costs, those direct consequences of the aggressive steel production cuts mandated by the government. In the short term, we see these trends continuing. As recently reported by the World Steel Association, global pig iron production increased by 3.4% for the first nine months of the year, with China decreasing 1.3%. Excluding China, the rest of the world's production grew at an impressive rate of 13.9%. We were expecting our markets to remain strong as they did during the Q3. However, we were surprised by the pricing levels achieved by our main indices. During the Q3, the Platts PLV FOB Australian Index price experienced a meteoric rise of $191 per metric ton, rising from $198 on July 1 to a high of $389 per metric ton at the end of September. Likewise, the PLV CFR China indices increased by $295 per metric ton from $309 to a high of $604 per metric ton. However, the majority of the rapid rise in pricing occurred in the final six weeks of the quarter, during which the PLV FOB Australian indices rose by $162 per metric ton, equivalent to 85% of the total increase for the Q3. This also occurred with the PLV CFR China indices rising by $232 per metric ton in the final six weeks, equivalent to 79% of the total increase for the Q3. Sales volume in the Q3 was 1.1 million short tons compared to 1.9 million short tons in the same quarter last year. Our sales by geography in the Q3 were 47% into Europe, 4% into South America, and 49% into Asia. The higher than normal sales to Asia were primarily driven by Chinese demand that we capitalized upon during the Q3 while capturing 100% of the CFR China index price on the day of the sale. Production volume in the Q3 of 2021 was 1.1 million short tons compared to 1.9 million short tons in the same quarter of last year. The tons produced in the Q3 resulted from running both longwalls at mine 7 plus 4 continuous mining units. By running the 4 continuous mining units, our lead days or float times have not materially changed since the strike commenced in April and are still several months out into the future. Mine 4 remained idle during this Q3. Our gross price realization for the Q3 2021 was 81% of the Platts premium low vol FOB Australian index price and was lower than the 90% achieved in the prior year period. The lower gross price realization was primarily due to the previously mentioned rapid rise late in the quarter of both the Australian and Chinese price indices. Our spot volume in the Q3 was approximately 30% of total volume and 38% year to date. Our normal expectation of spot volume is approximately 20%. The higher spot volume is primarily attributed to the sales to China. I will now ask Dale to address our Q3 results in greater detail. Thanks, Walt. In the Q3 last year, we saw the ongoing impact of COVID-19 and its downward impact on the steel and met coal industries, including our company, even as we continued to run both mines at near capacity. In contrast, this year our Q3 results were negatively impacted by the UMWA strike in which we idled mine 4 and significantly reduced operations at mine 7. As we execute our business continuity plan to meet our contractual commitments to our customers, we took advantage of strong market conditions to generate strong results of adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow. In the Q3 of 2021, the company recorded its largest net income in over two years on a GAAP basis of approximately $38 million or $0.74 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $14 million or $0.28 per diluted share in the same quarter last year. Non-GAAP adjusted net income for the Q3, excluding the non-recurring business interruption expenses, idle mine expenses, and other non-recurring income, was $0.97 per diluted share, compared to a loss of $0.28 per diluted share in the same quarter last year. Adjusted EBITDA was $105 million in the Q3 of 2021, the largest in over two years as compared to $17 million in the same quarter last year. The quarterly increase was primarily driven by a 108% increase in average net selling prices, partially offset by a 45% decrease in sales volume. Our adjusted EBITDA margin was 52% in the Q3 this year, compared to 9% in the same quarter last year. Total revenues were approximately $202 million in the Q3, compared to $180 million in the same quarter last year. This increase was primarily due to the 108% increase in average net selling prices, offset partially by 45% lower sales volume in the Q3 versus the same period last year. In addition, other revenues were negatively impacted in the Q3 this year by a non-cash mark-to-market loss on our gas hedges of approximately $6 million, which were entered into earlier this year before hurricane season and gas supply deficits. The Platts premium low vol FOB Australian index price averaged $129 per metric ton higher or up 130% in the Q3 compared to the same quarter last year. The index price averaged $264 per metric ton for the quarter. The milling and other charges reduced our gross price realization to an average net selling price of $189 per short ton in the Q3 this year, compared to $91 per short ton in the same quarter last year. Cash cost of sales was $91 million or 46% of mining revenues in the Q3, compared to $151 million or 86% of mining revenues in the same quarter last year. The decrease in total dollars was primarily due to a $68 million impact of lower sales volume, partially offset by $8 million of higher variable costs associated with price-sensitive transportation and royalty costs. Cash cost of sales per short ton, FOB port, was approximately $86 in the Q3 compared to $78 in the same quarter last year. Cash costs on price-sensitive items such as wages, transportation, and royalties that vary with net coal pricing were higher in the Q3 of this year compared to the same quarter last year. Depreciation and depletion expenses for the Q3 of this year were $29 million compared to $28 million in last year's Q3. The net increase of $1 million was primarily due to two things. First, the immediate recognition of $8 million of expense related to mine 4 depreciation that would have normally been capitalized as inventory as it was produced. However, since mine 4 is currently idled, it was instead directly expensed. Second, these expenses were lower by $7 million due to the 45% decrease in sales volume. SG&A expenses were about $7 million or 3.7% of total revenues in the Q3 of 2021 and were lower than the same quarter last year, primarily due to lower employee-related expenses and lower professional fees. During the Q3, we incurred incremental non-recurring business interruption expenses of $7 million directly related to the ongoing UMWA strike. These non-recurring expenses were primarily for incremental safety and security, legal and labor negotiations, and other expenses. As a result of the ongoing UMWA strike that began 1 April, we idled Mine 4 in the Q2. We incurred $9 million in expenses in the Q3 associated with the idling of Mine 4 and reduced operations at Mine 7. These expenses were electricity, insurance, maintenance labor, taxes, and are primarily fixed in nature. Net interest expense was about $9 million in the Q3, includes interest on our outstanding debt, interest on equipment financing leases, plus amortization of our debt issuance costs associated with our credit facilities, partially offset by interest income. The slight increase quarter over quarter was primarily related to new equipment financing leases. Other income represents proceeds received as a result of the settlement of a lawsuit. We recorded income tax expense of $5 million during the Q3 of this year compared to a benefit of $8 million in the same quarter last year. The Q3 tax expense was primarily due to pre-tax income, offset partially by benefits for depletion and additional marginal gas well credits. Turning to cash flow, during the Q3 of 2021, we generated $52 million of free cash flow, which resulted from cash flows provided by operating activities of $63 million, less cash used for capital expenditures and mine development costs of $11 million. Free cash flow in the Q3 of this year was negatively impacted by a $18 million increase in net working capital. The increase in net working capital was primarily due to an increase in coal inventory due to the lower sales volume. Cash used in investing activity for capital expenditures and mine development costs were $11 million during the Q3 of this year compared to $28 million in the same quarter last year. However, we do expect to spend more in the Q4 than we did in the Q3 to keep the mines well capitalized. Cash flows used by financing activities were $51 million in the Q3 of 2021 and consisted primarily of payments on our ABL facility of $40 million, payments for capital leases of $8 million, and the payment of a quarterly dividend of $3 million. Our total available liquidity at the end of the Q3 was $356 million, representing a 24% increase over the Q2 and consisted of cash and cash equivalents of $268 million and $87 million available under our ABL facility. This is net of outstanding letters of credit of approximately $9 million. Our balance sheet has a leverage ratio of 0.6 times adjusted EBITDA, and notably, we have no near-term debt maturities. We believe our liquidity position and strong balance sheet, combined with our low and variable cost structure, has enabled us to weather this period of uncertainty. It gives us the flexibility to continue to manage through a continued volatile global marketplace. Now turning to our outlook. Due to the ongoing uncertainty related to our negotiations with the union, the COVID-19 pandemic, the Chinese ban on Australian coal, and other potentially disruptive factors, we will not be providing full year 2021 guidance at this time. We expect to return to providing guidance once there is further clarity on these issues. We continue to appropriately adjust our operational needs, including managing our expenses, capital expenditures, working capital, liquidity, and cash flows. In addition, we have delayed the development of the Blue Creek project and our stock repurchase program also remains temporarily suspended. I'll now turn it back to Walt for his final comments. Thanks, Dale. Before we move on to Q&A, I'd like to make some final comments on our outlook for the Q4 and next year as well as the ongoing UMWA strike. We continue to execute successfully on our business continuity plans in response to the UMWA strike, which began on 1 April, allowing us to continue to meet the needs of our valued customers. While we continue to negotiate in good faith to reach a new contract, the UMWA unfortunately remains on strike. Despite incurring incremental costs associated with the strike, we've been able to manage our working capital and spending to deliver strong results in this market. Looking ahead, we understand there are questions about the status of the UMWA negotiations, estimates of potential outcomes and possible timelines. Unfortunately, we cannot speculate at this time on any of those topics for various reasons. Let me just say, we value and appreciate the hard work of our hourly employees. Our priorities have always been keeping people employed and working safely with long-lasting careers and ensuring the company remains financially stable in a particularly volatile coal market. While we are disappointed that the union continues with the strike, we continue to negotiate in good faith to reach a resolution. We expect the current strength in the steel markets to continue in the Q4 and into early next year, supported by our forecasted sales orders and ongoing discussions with our valued customers. Likewise, we anticipate supply to remain tight in support of a favorable market conditions. We expect pricing for our products to remain strong due to the positive demand and supply dynamics, but recognize that the likelihood of a pricing reset is high. However, when a reset does occur, we expect pricing to remain above historical averages due to the strong market fundamentals. We believe we are well positioned to fulfill customer volume commitments for 2021 of approximately 4.9-5.5 million short tons through a combination of existing coal inventory and expected production during the Q4. While we have business continuity plans in place, the strike may still cause further disruption to production and shipment activities and results may vary significantly. We are in the early stages of planning our budget for 2022, including updating our business continuity plans. There are various scenarios that may play out depending upon our negotiations with the union. If we're able to reach an agreement soon with the union, we believe that we could ramp to a run rate of production of approximately 7.5 million short tons in about 3-4 months. We would like to capitalize on the current market strength of met coal pricing in support of steel and met coal environment that exhibits strong demand and tight supply. Currently, we believe our customers will purchase every ton that we can produce for the remainder of this year and next year. If we are unable to reach a contract with the union in the near term, we believe our production and sales volume could be between 5.5-6.5 million short tons. This could possibly include restarting the Mine 4 longwall as early as January, with a small number of crews working a limited shift schedule. We have recently started in the Q4 1 continuous mining unit at Mine 4. As we finish up the Q4 results, we expect to have further clarity into 2022 volumes and expectations which could change from those that I've just outlined. With that, we'd like to open the call for questions. Operator? Thank you. We will now begin the question and answer session. At this time, I would like to remind everyone that to ask a question, please press star then the number one on your telephone keypad. We will pause for just a moment to compile the Q&A roster. The first question will come from David Gagliano with BMO Capital Markets. Please go ahead. Okay, great. Thanks for taking my questions. I'm gonna cut to the 12-month volume insights for a minute. Just some questions around those two insights. 5.5-6.5 million if the strike continues, how much of that would include or includes, you know, Mine 4 restart? And you know, what, if any, are the costs associated with restarting Mine 4 embedded in that assumption? That's my first question. It includes restarting Mine 4 longwall running at not full speed, but maybe, I don't know, 25% or 50% throughout the year, getting it ramped back up to that level, and just seeing how we do from there. You know, this year, as I said, we'll end up, you know, we set up to 5.5. And that included a full quarter run in Q1 of last year. So we're pretty happy with where our production rates are and where we're headed right now. We look to begin ramping Mine 4 early next year. There's no incremental start-up cost there. It would basically just be your normal, you know, just ramping up slowly. You're not getting the bang for the buck, and that's the higher cost of continuous miner units rather than the longwall. There's no special start up. Okay. Just if we were to try and frame out, you know, in that scenario. Thanks for that. No, no start-up cost part. In terms of cash costs, overall cash costs, without getting into specific information there, but just like in general, should we assume cash costs overall, you know, higher than current, in that 5.5-6.5 million tons, including Mine 4? Cash cost of production should remain pretty steady. You're gonna see cash cost of sales potentially increase because of when we've talked about the variable part of that, which includes transportation and royalties and the prices where we are in the quarter lag that we have with transportation costs. You're gonna see transportation and royalties go up. That's in any scenario, correctly? Yes. Including the other 7.5 million-ton scenario? Yes. Okay. If we could switch over to that scenario, if there is a resolution, can you frame out, you know, sort of if there's any incremental, meaningful startup costs or capital costs in that scenario, and what, if any, meaningful changes we should be thinking about on the cash cost side, in addition to what you just mentioned? There should not be any additional start-up costs. It would take us, I think we said 3-4 months to get it ramped back up to what the expected production levels would be. No, there's no real incremental cost of doing that or additional capital costs to get it started back up. Okay. The contract costs with the union, we don't know. You know, that's an unknown at this point. Right. Of course. Okay. Understood. In the near term for the Q4, just a couple of quick questions there. Obviously, reaffirm you know, the plan to hit the 4.9-5.5 million of customer commitments, 5.5 million tons of customer commitments. You're at 4.8 million now. So, you know, that's obviously not, I don't think, you know, a Q4 volume expectation. Can you give us a little more color on what you expect your overall shipments to be in the Q4? And how much of that, if any, do you expect to send directly into China? Yeah. Well, I'll answer that one, David. We should be the higher end of that guidance, the 5.5. You know, there, we could exceed a little bit, depending on what happens in Q4. I wouldn't expect a tremendous amount of our volume to be China. You know, we sold down the majority of our inventory levels in the Q2, and most of that went to China. Now we're really into our contractual side. I think we've sold about 350,000 short tons to China in the Q3, and I wouldn't expect nothing significantly different than that, probably in the Q4. Okay. Sorry. The last point you said was about the same, then, 350,000 into China in the Q4? Is that what you said? Yeah, somewhere in that range. Yeah. Okay. All right. Thanks. I'll turn it over to somebody else. Thank you. Once again, if you have a question, please press star then one. The next question will be from Lucas Pipes with B. Riley Securities. Please go ahead. Hey, good afternoon, everybody, and thanks for taking my question. I wanted to get a little bit better understanding of kind of what the difference is between the 5.5-6.5 million environment and the 7.5 million environment, because as both would include ramping up mine 4. If you could kind of share a little bit more color as to what difference a resolution on the labor front would make kind of 12 months from now. I would very much appreciate your perspective on that. Thank you. Well, it depends on how quickly that resolution occurs. If we don't have a union resolution or a contract resolution early in the year, when we go throughout the year, and we've talked about a 5.5-6.5, that allows us to get Mine 4 started. We're not, as I've said, running it 24 hours a day like we had been. If we had a contract resolution at the end of this year or very early next year, our expectation would be that we are running Mine 4 24 hours a day throughout the year. It would be basically once you ramp back to full production levels. Understood. Thank you. Thank you very much for that. In terms of kind of more broadly cost, there's many of your peers have commented on inflationary pressures, be it from labor or on materials and such. I wondered if you could comment a bit on where you're seeing it in your operations, to what extent are hourly labor rates going up? Would appreciate your perspective. Thank you. Lucas, overall, we're experiencing a little bit of inflation, but not to a significant degree at this point. The mines are running well and efficiently, so we're really not seeing any net inflation, yet hitting us. We do hear from suppliers about, costs going up for next year and expectations around price increases. You know, obviously, steel prices are well up, and we use a lot of roof bolts, and we have a lot of machinery and equipment that we buy every year. We're probably gonna, you know, be facing that going into, well, the Q4 as well as early next year. At this point, we're not experiencing any significant inflation in total. Unlike the majority of our competitors, we use, relatively little diesel fuel. We wouldn't expect a big impact from fuel costs. Got it. Okay. Well, I appreciate it. Thank you very much. I'll turn it over for now. Thank you. Once again, if you would like to ask a question, please press star, then 1. The next question is a follow-up from David Gagliano with BMO Capital Markets. Please go ahead. Okay. Just one of the challenges now, given all the volatility in pricing, is really pinning down a near term realized price. I'm wondering if you can just give us a little more color. I know that's a difficult question, but we've got 350,000 tons going directly into China. Pacific Basin benchmark prices have been all over the place, but have rallied quite a bit, like you said, at the very end of the quarter. Is there a way to just give us a sense, frame it out a bit more, percentages or something like that, how we should be thinking about the Q4 realization? Thanks. Well, you know, David, I don't know what's gonna drive the price down significantly in the Q4. I think it could easily settle some, but I don't know what would have to happen in order for the price to really have a significant adjustment. We're thinking the Q4 remains strong, but, you know, strong is relative. Now, will it stay up where it is? I'm not quite sure, but we still think it's gonna be a real strong pricing. As we look into next year, we think the H1 of next year probably has relatively strong pricing. If you look at all the forecasts, the back half of the year looks like it would start to settle out. We just don't have any clue when that'll occur. Okay, that's fair. I understood. Just in terms of Warrior's realized price, you know, historically, the relationship was, you know, well, actually higher than that, right? 95% of kind of a Pacific Basin benchmark reference price. Is that still a reasonable assumption to make in this environment, very close to an average price for the Pacific Basin for the quarter? Well, it is a normal state of price environment, Dave. You know, as we noted in our comments, look, the rise in the Q3, 85% of that increase came in the last six weeks. You know, we're gonna capture very little of that in the last six weeks. We've already pretty much sold the entire quarter. You know, you got to think about it that way as well. That was just a rapid increase. To be 81%, that's really not telling the true story. In stable price environments, yes, we're gonna be in that 97, 98 range, similar year, often across, you know, just across the cycle too, if you think about it. Because right now you're just looking at a very skewed quarter and how dramatically prices went up. You know, we've talked before about how our pricing for a vessel follows the last 30-40 days of the spot pricing. You know, we're kind of chasing it and we'll see if and when the price starts to settle, you'll see us end up well above 90% for that period while the price is starting to settle some. Really that 81%, while we'd like to see it at 90% on these prices, it's an indicator that the price has gone through the roof. Yeah. Another good point here is on the trailing twelve month basis, we're at 97%, and that includes COVID when we were down in the low 90s. We were over 100 and then 81. That's got a lot of the volatility over the last year in it. Just to clarify the commentary on the 81%, that all is in reference to the Q3, correct? Correct. Yes. In the Q4, prices have kind of stabilized after they shot up. You know, should we be expecting closer to kind of a 95%-ish zone for realization relative to Pacific Basin benchmark pricing? I'll answer that question as soon as you tell me what pricing is gonna be over the next 60 days by day. Okay. How about the 30-day lag? Because that's the other thing I wanted to ask is, are we still kind of seeing a 30-day lag on pricing? Yeah, pretty much. Yeah. Yeah, that's the best way to view it. If you look back 30 days and if that average price stays the same for the Q4, we should be doing pretty well. Okay. All right. It's just so hard to project, Dave. We're not trying to avoid your question. It's just so hard to project, Luke. I mean, just look at the last six weeks of the quarter. I mean, just unheard of pricing, you know, on an Australian basis over $400 a ton. I mean, who would have thought, right, that that would ever happen? Right. No, absolutely. It actually is very helpful. The information you're providing is actually quite helpful. I appreciate it. Thanks again. Thank you. The next question will come from Nathan Martin with The Benchmark Company. Please go ahead. Hey, good afternoon, guys. Congrats on the quarter. Thanks for taking my questions. Maybe just real quick on the cash cost per ton side of things. Can you give us an idea, you know, as we see prices likely heading up here in the Q4 sequentially as you guys were just discussing, maybe what portion of that is kind of sales price sensitive? Well, about two-thirds are mine cost, and you do have some variability there, a little bit, a small portion, but the other two-thirds is transportation, royalty cost, and that's variable. That's all variable. Okay. Walt, two-thirds is transportation and royalty fee? No, it's one-third is transportation and royalty. I'm sorry. Yeah, say it. Yeah. The way to look at that is we've averaged. If you look at us over the last five years, our cost of sales has averaged in the $80s to the mid-$90s. What we've said is, at that price range, about two-thirds of that, or call it $60 a ton, is cost of production. The other third of that is variable because of cost of sales. Our production cost remains relatively constant within a few bucks. What you're gonna see is with prices like this, you're gonna see transportation prices, though they lag a quarter, they're gonna spike and royalty prices costs will go up as well because they're a percentage of coal sales price. Got it. Makes sense. Very helpful. I appreciate that. Maybe again, on the transportation costs you just mentioned, Walt, can you comment and give a little more color on that? I mean, what kind of rail rates are you guys seeing right now or even barge rates? How has service been? Have you had any difficulties procuring transportation, whether it's barge, rail or even ocean carriers? Thanks. We're never happy with our transportation. We're always complaining no matter how good they're doing. We're managing to get our coal moved down to the port in a timely fashion. Of course, there's been a delay or two here and there on vessels. Part of that's due to weather, though. We had a couple of vessels get stranded over near New Orleans, and it cost us a couple of weeks in getting them loaded through some of the storms. By and large, you know what? It's the transportation has gone fairly well. It continues to do well. We continue to move coal by barge and that system's working well. Got it. Well, I think that's about all I had left. Again, thank you guys for the time, and best of luck in the Q4. Thank you. The next question is a follow-up from Lucas Pipes with B. Riley Securities. Please go ahead. Yes. Thank you very much for taking my follow-up question. Wanted to ask about your contracting strategy. Obviously, you are exposed to spot prices, but you can choose between Europe, South America, Asia. As you look out to 2022, how do you look to position yourself? Thank you very much. Well, typically we have contracted out about 80% of our production volumes. In the markets that we've seen, it just works better for both our customers and us, for us to move more coal in the spot market. I think as we go into next year, we'll approach it much the same way. Try to make sure that both us and our customers are getting the coal they need and at the prices that we can achieve. Are you targeting? I can't tell you other than 80/20. I don't know what it'll be aside from 80/20. It just all depends on the market. There's not a specific percentage that you're looking to earmark for Asia or China, for example? No. Because they're all spot volume. They have been unwilling to talk about any long-term contracts. You know, we have to stick to the contracts with our natural market customers. Look, if we do get a correction and prices kind of start becoming more correlated between those two indices, then it doesn't make sense for us to ship to China because if we have to pay the freight, we're gonna have a net loss on the transaction. That's why we've never really sold to China until all of this Chinese ban started. It's all gonna depend on what the market is and where prices are relative to the Australian index. Got it. Thank you very much. Then, second follow-up question in terms of kind of your capital priorities, once the strike is resolved. Blue Creek is still on hold. You know, investors in this space have been cheering capital returns. What are your thoughts on allocating your precious dollars today? Thank you very much for your perspective. Well, I mean, while we've suspended, you know, Blue Creek at this point, you know, we've been working through some issues over the last year, the pandemic, and we evolved into the strike and obviously the Chinese ban. We've been trying to, you know, preserve capital. You know, as we move forward and start to ramp the operations back up, if we get a contract, then we're gonna have to revisit when we restart the Blue Creek project. As we've said, look, we will look at what excess cash we do have and try to make it a priority to return cash to shareholders as well as, you know, build our growth project, Blue Creek. How we do that, you know, right now we just haven't come back and addressed that yet, but I imagine we'll be doing that over the coming months. Thank you very much, and best of luck. Thank you. The next question will be from Lucas Xu from Millennium. Please go ahead. LucaS, your line is open. Perhaps your line is muted on your end. Please proceed. Hi, Walt. Thanks for taking my question. Can you remind us, like how many continuous miner you need for full operation in mine 4? At Mine 4, we typically run 3 continuous miner units along with the longwall. Okay. That's how many people? That depends, Lucas. I mean, you can run a continuous miner unit with as little as 7 or 8 per shift. You know, if you're running pretty lean, you'd prefer to have more than that, but you can run it that lean. Okay. This one unit right now that you're operating, is the crew new or is it, you know, from Mine 7? No, we have well over 200 hourly people that are currently working, and I believe most of the folks working at mine four were experienced people from mine four. Okay. Essentially, they cross the picket line. Is that what it is? Yes. Okay. That's a interesting development. Can you give us a reminder of what the longwall change schedule is? What's the longwall what, Luther? Longwall move schedule? Longwall change. Yeah, longwall change. Let's see. If we will have, I think, one more move at mine seven this year. I believe it's a zero-day move, though. I believe next year we'll probably have my expectation would be a couple of moves at mine seven and at least one longwall move at mine 4. Okay, great. Thank you. That's all my questions. Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, at this time, there are no further questions. I would now like to turn the call back over to Mr. Scheller for any comments. That concludes our call this afternoon. Thank you again for joining us today. We appreciate your interest in Warrior Met Coal. Thank you, sir. The conference has now concluded. Thank you for attending today's presentation. You may now disconnect.
