May 31, 2026 - Ramaco Resources, (NASDAQ: METC, METCB) ("Ramaco") has announced that its Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Randall W. Atkins, appeared on CNBC's Morning Call to discuss the Company's coal and critical minerals platform in Central Appalachia and Wyoming, and the impact on global coal markets amid energy market disruptions tied to the ongoing conflict in Iran.

During the interview, Randall W. Atkins highlighted Ramaco's development of its exploratory Brook Mine project in Sheridan, Wyoming. The project is positioned to contribute to domestic supply chains for materials essential to advanced technologies, energy systems, and national security applications.

Atkins noted that the Company raised nearly $1 billion over the past year, positioning Ramaco to invest in and execute on the Brook Mine project and advance its broader critical minerals strategy.

Atkins also addressed the impact of geopolitical instability on global energy markets stemming from the war in Iran and the recent increase in coal pricing across international markets. Atkins emphasized that approximately two-thirds of the Company's metallurgical coal production is exported to international markets, underscoring Ramaco's exposure to global pricing dynamics.

Ramaco is uniquely positioned as both a leading producer of high-quality, low-cost metallurgical coal in Central Appalachia—serving global steel markets—and as an emerging developer of a rare earths and critical minerals platform in Wyoming. This dual-platform strategy enables the Company to balance near-term cash flow from its current metallurgical coal operations with potential long-term growth tied to critical materials development.
