Ramaco Resources (NASDAQ: METC) has appointed former U.S. Senator Joseph Manchin III to its Board of Directors as an independent member, effective April 18, 2025. Manchin, who previously served as West Virginia Governor, Secretary of State, and Chairman of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, brings extensive experience in energy policy and economic development.
The appointment aligns with Ramaco's strategic focus on metallurgical coal production and rare earth element development in Wyoming.

Ramaco Resources (NASDAQ: METC) Chairman and CEO Randall Atkins is scheduled for an interview on Fox Business Channel's Varney & Co. program on April 10, 2025.
The discussion will focus on President Trump's recent executive orders regarding coal, which direct the Department of Energy to explore new technological uses of coal and consider classifying metallurgical coal as a critical mineral. Following these orders, the National Coal Council has been re-established under Energy Secretary Chris Wright.
Atkins will also discuss the development of Ramaco's Brook Mine in Wyoming, potentially the first new critical mineral and rare earth element mine in the U.S. in over 50 years. Federal researchers have identified it as the largest unconventional REE deposit in the United States, containing critical minerals essential for technology and defense purposes, many currently under Chinese export restrictions. The Wall Street Journal has highlighted this project in an article titled 'The $2 Million Coal Mine That Might Hold a $37 Billion Treasure'.
Ramaco Resources (NASDAQ: METC) has announced key changes to its executive leadership and Board of Directors. E.

Ramaco Resources (NASDAQ: METC) has announced its second quarter fiscal year 2025 dividend for Class A common shares. The Board declared a quarterly dividend of $0.06875 per share, to be paid in Class B common stock on June 13, 2025, to shareholders of record as of May 30, 2025.
The payment will be calculated by dividing $0.06875 by the closing price of Class B stock on May 30, 2025. Any fractional shares will be paid in cash based on the closing price on the record date.
CEO Randall Atkins cited weak metallurgical coal market conditions as the reason for reducing the dividend and paying it in stock to maintain liquidity. Despite the reduction, the approximately 3% dividend yield remains the highest among publicly traded metallurgical coal peers. The company expects market weakness to persist for several months but anticipates potential strengthening in the second half of the year due to supply rationalization.
Ramaco Resources (NASDAQ: METC) has secured a $6.1 million matching grant from the Wyoming Energy Authority for its Wyoming CORE Brook Mine project. The funding will support the construction of a rare earth and critical minerals pilot processing facility near Sheridan, Wyoming.
The Brook Mine, spanning 16,000 acres, is positioned to become the first new rare earth mine in the United States since 1952. The U.S. Department of Energy's National Energy Technology Laboratory has identified it as one of the largest unconventional deposits of these elements globally.
The planned facility, scheduled to begin construction in Fall 2025, will be the first in the nation to utilize advanced technologies for converting carbon ores through beneficiation and hydrometallurgy to produce mixed rare earth oxides. The project aims to extract valuable rare earth elements (REE) and critical minerals from unconventional coal and carbonaceous ore deposits.
