Metallurgical Coal Mining & Rare Earth Elements Production
Strategic Profile
Ramaco supplies metallurgical coal for the steelmaking industry and is developing a world-class deposit of rare earth elements at the permitted Brook Mine, the first new REE mine in America in 70 years. The company holds approximately 76 intellectual property patents and exclusive licensing agreements for development and production of advanced carbon products and materials derived from coal, creating competitive differentiation in critical materials production.
Cyborg Score Rationale
FY2025 reported net loss of $51.4M but adjusted EBITDA of $36.1M, showing operational cash generation amid development investments. Record liquidity of $521M and expanded credit facility to $500M maturing 2030 provide financial flexibility. Near-term pressure from metallurgical coal market dynamics offset by long-term rare earth project optionality.
