Ramaco Resources addresses share distribution from major shareholder

LEXINGTON, Ky., Sept. 4, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- Ramaco Resources, Inc. addressed recent stock market fluctuations following a major shareholder’s planned distribution of shares.

On September 2, the company received notification from Yorktown Energy Partners, one of its largest institutional shareholders, that approximately one million shares of Ramaco’s Class A common stock would be distributed to Yorktown’s limited partners. This distribution, set for September 3, coincided with negative trading activity in Ramaco’s stock, leading the company to issue a statement explaining the potential impact of the share distribution on market performance.

Ramaco Resources, Inc. operates in the metallurgical coal industry, focusing on high-quality, low-cost coal in southern West Virginia and southwestern Virginia. The company is also exploring a coal, rare earth, and other critical minerals project in Wyoming. Its headquarters are located in Lexington, Kentucky, with operational offices in Charleston, West Virginia, and Sheridan, Wyoming. Ramaco currently manages four active metallurgical coal mining complexes in Central Appalachia and operates a coal mine and rare earth element exploration property near Sheridan, Wyoming, known as the Brook Mine. The Brook Mine is in its exploration stage, and there is no guarantee it will develop into a commercial-scale mine.

The company also maintains an intellectual property portfolio, holding over 70 patents, pending applications, and exclusive licensing agreements, in addition to various trademarks. These assets are integral to Ramaco’s ongoing research and development activities, particularly in the potential production of advanced carbon products and materials from coal.
