Item 8.01 Other Events
On March 12, 2013, Noranda Aluminum Holding Corporation ("Noranda" or the "Company") (NYSE:NOR) received written notification from the Mine Safety and Health Administration (“MSHA”) that a pattern of violations does not exist at the Company's alumina refinery in Gramercy, Louisiana.
“This favorable notification from the MSHA reflects the improvements achieved by our employees at Gramercy, as well as employees at other locations who have supported Gramercy's efforts. It is truly a team accomplishment,” said Layle K. (Kip) Smith, Noranda's President and CEO. “While we are pleased with the improved compliance and health and safety conditions recognized by recent MSHA inspections, we remain committed to continued progress in our safety program and safety performance at Gramercy.”
The MSHA's notification follows the corrective action program implemented to address inspection findings that led to a November 28, 2012 MSHA notification that a potential pattern of violations existed at that facility.
