The appearances follow recent media interviews and a Paris speech by Atkins on coal, carbon products, critical minerals, and AI.

Insights

Mining & Critical Minerals Strategist

High-profile media exposure highlights Ramaco's Brook Mine and U.S. rare-earth development, but offers no new permits or financials.

These appearances increase visibility for Ramaco and its Brook Mine in Sheridan, Wyoming, by framing the project as the first new U.S. rare earth mine in over 70 years and the first new Wyoming coal mine in over 50 years. National security and supply-chain narratives around restricted access from China amplify strategic interest, which can attract policy attention and potential partners.

Key dependencies include regulatory approvals, permitting, and capital commitments; none are disclosed here. The announcement reports high concentrations of medium and heavy rare earths and critical minerals within coal seams, but it provides no production timelines, reserves, or financing details, so operational or revenue impacts remain unquantified.

Watch for concrete milestones: public permitting decisions, released resource or reserve estimates, announced offtake or funding agreements, and any Oct 13, 2025 interview follow-ups that reference new facts. Expect meaningful investor-relevant updates only when technical reports, permits, or binding commercial arrangements appear within the next 6–18 months.

LEXINGTON, Ky., Oct. 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Ramaco Resources, Inc. (NASDAQ: METC, METCB) ("Ramaco" or the "Company") Ramaco is pleased to announce that its Chairman and CEO, Randall W.

This groundbreaking initiative represents the first new rare earth mine to be developed in the United States in over 70 years, and the first new coal mine in Wyoming in more than half a century. The Brook Mine has attracted international attention following the discovery of high concentrations of the medium and heavy rare earth elements, as well as important critical minerals co-mingled within coal seams.

These media appearances follow Atkins' recent interviews on CNBC, Fox Business, and Sky News, and underscore his role as a leading voice in the future of American mining and critical mineral resource independence. Most recently, Atkins delivered a featured address at the 7th IEA-IEF-OPEC Symposium on Gas and Coal Market Outlooks in Paris, France, hosted by the International Energy Agency (IEA). His speech, titled "The Renaissance of Coal in the Age of Carbon Products, Critical Minerals, and AI," emphasized the transformative role of coal in modern energy markets and highlighted Ramaco's leadership in rare earth development and innovation in carbon technologies.
