Ramaco Resources (NASDAQ:METC) is a U.S.-based coal mining company focused on the extraction, processing and marketing of both metallurgical and steam coal. Its operations are anchored in the Central Appalachian Basin, where it produces high-volatility metallurgical coal for steelmaking and bituminous steam coal for power generation. The company’s core asset portfolio includes multi-product mining complexes and related infrastructure designed to deliver consistent tonnage to domestic utility customers, international steel mills and select industrial end users.
Since its inception in 2017, Ramaco has grown through strategic acquisitions and greenfield development. The company acquired the Southampton Mine in Virginia and later expanded into Alabama with its Partnership South Mine, among others. In March 2020, Ramaco entered the public markets through a business combination, enhancing its financial flexibility to pursue further resource development and infrastructure improvements. Headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri, Ramaco also maintains field offices in close proximity to its Appalachian operations.
Beyond traditional coal mining, Ramaco is investing in innovative byproduct recovery and environmental initiatives. The company is actively exploring the extraction of rare earth elements from coal refuse streams, positioning itself to contribute to critical minerals supply chains. In parallel, Ramaco emphasizes land reclamation, water management and community engagement programs designed to mitigate the environmental footprint of its operations and support long-term stewardship of the regions it serves.
Led by President and CEO John F. Welborn, a mining industry veteran, Ramaco’s leadership team brings extensive technical, operational and commercial experience. The company continues to evaluate expansion opportunities across Appalachia, aiming to capitalize on evolving demand dynamics in both metallurgical coal and emerging mineral markets. Through disciplined project execution and a commitment to safety, Ramaco Resources seeks to deliver sustainable value to customers, communities and shareholders over the long term.
