- Ramaco Resources Inc (METC) has committed to roughly 80% of its 2026 production at strong domestic and export pricing.
- The company is advancing its rare earth and critical mineral business with a new proprietary technology called carbochlorination, which reduces costs and increases cash flow.

- Logistics bottlenecks due to extreme weather caused delayed shipments in January and February.
- The high volatile metallurgical coal market remains oversupplied and ultra-competitive, impacting pricing.
