No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the above-described
stock dividend. In lieu of the issuance of fractional shares, the Company will pay in cash on the Payment Date the fair value of the fractions

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements contained in this news release constitute “forward-looking
statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including, but not limited to, any statements
related to Ramaco’s plan for the Brook Mine, as well as expected benefits and advantages from the Brook Mine, and the anticipated mineral
sources at the Brook Mine. These forward-looking statements represent Ramaco Resources’ expectations or beliefs concerning guidance, future
events, anticipated revenue, future demand and production levels, macroeconomic trends, the development of ongoing projects, costs and
expectations regarding operating results, and it is possible that the results described in this news release will not be achieved.
These forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties
and other factors, many of which are outside of Ramaco Resources’ control, which could cause actual results to differ materially from
the results discussed in the forward-looking statements.
These factors include, without limitation, unexpected delays in our
current mine development activities, the ability to successfully increase production at our existing met coal complexes in accordance
with the Company’s growth initiatives, failure of our sales commitment counterparties to perform, increased government regulation of coal
in the United States or internationally, the impact of tariffs imposed by the United States and foreign governments, the further decline
of demand for coal in export markets and underperformance of the railroads, the Company’s ability to successfully develop the Brook Mine
REE/CM project, including whether the Company’s exploration target and estimates for such mine are realized, the timing of the initial
production of rare earth concentrates, the development of a pilot and ultimately a full scale commercial processing facility. Mineral
resources are not mineral reserves and do not meet the threshold for reserve modifying factors, such as estimated economic viability,
that would allow for conversion to mineral reserves. There is no certainty that any part of the estimated mineral resources at Brook Mine
will be converted into mineral reserves in the future. Rare earth and critical minerals is a new initiative for us and, as such, has required
and will continue to require us to make significant investments to build out our rare earth capabilities.
Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it
is made, and, except as required by law, Ramaco Resources does not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement,
whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for Ramaco
Resources to predict all such factors. When considering these forward-looking statements, you should keep in mind the risk factors and
other cautionary statements found in Ramaco Resources’ filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including
its Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. The risk factors and other factors noted in Ramaco Resources’ SEC filings
could cause its actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement.
