(Nasdaq: METC, METCB), a leading producer of metallurgical coal and critical minerals, today announced that former U.S. Senator Joseph Manchin III has been appointed an independent member to its Board of Directors effective April 18, 2025. Senator Manchin brings decades of national leadership in energy policy and economic development to Ramaco and a deep understanding of the issues facing the U.S. coal industry. As a former West Virginia Governor, Secretary of State and United States Senator as well as past chairman of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, he has been a steadfast advocate for metallurgical coal and the wider U.S. mining industry. He also served as a member of the Senate Appropriations and Armed Services Committees.

Randall Atkins, Chairman and CEO said, "We are deeply honored to welcome Senator Manchin to our board. He's been a champion for securing America's energy and industrial future and has a deep understanding of the issues facing the met coal industry. As one of both West Virginia and our nation's most prominent leaders he will bring unparalleled experience and insight into the issues which face our business and our nation. And as we expand our role in developing the urgently needed domestic sourced minerals critical to our national security, his knowledge of policy and national supply chain priorities will be invaluable."

Ramaco's work—both in producing metallurgical coal and advancing critical mineral development—reflects that same spirit of hard work, innovation, and national pride. As America looks to strengthen its supply chains and secure its future, I'm proud to support a company that's investing in our people, our resources, and our resilience. It's an honor to join friends and fellow West Virginians in this mission." About Ramaco Resources, Inc.
