Ramaco Resources (NASDAQ: METC) has received positive preliminary economic assessment (PEA) results from Fluor Corporation confirming the commercial and technical feasibility of its Brook Mine rare earth deposit. The project demonstrates strong economics with a pre-tax NPV8 of $1.197 billion, NPV10 of $898 million, and an IRR of 38%.
The project requires an initial capital investment of $473 million (excluding 22% contingency) and is projected to generate steady-state annual adjusted EBITDA of $143 million by 2029 on $378 million in annual revenue. At full capacity, the mine will produce 1,242 short tons of oxide annually, including 456 tons of valuable elements like gallium, germanium, scandium, and rare earth elements.
The Brook Mine deposit, believed to be the nation's largest unconventional rare earth elements source from coal, features unique geological characteristics with negligible radioactive elements and simplified processing requirements. The project has an initial mine life of 42 years, utilizing less than 4% of the estimated total mineral inventory. A pilot plant is planned to be fully operational by mid-2026.
