What the filing says
Ramaco Resources released a Hatch Associates initial assessment report (Class 5, -35%/+50% accuracy) dated July 28, 2026, evaluating a carbochlorination-based refining process for the exploratory Brook Mine critical minerals project in Wyoming. The study estimates pre-contingency CAPEX of $3.2 billion ($4.0 billion post-contingency) and annual OPEX of $150.7 million for a 1.3 Mtpa facility (2.6 Mtpa in expanded case). Ramaco internally prepared projected economics showing pre-tax NPV of $8.0 billion, 24% IRR, and $1.3 billion average annual adjusted EBITDA over 40-year mine life—a 567% increase from prior 2025 Fluor hydrometallurgical study, though not independently verified.
Why this rating
Initial assessment of $4B capital project represents 9.4% of Ramaco's $425M market cap. Preliminary nature, inferred resources, and 567% NPV increase vs. prior study due to methodology change (not organic improvement) create material but unverified upside. Significance moderated by Class 5 accuracy range and multi-year timeline before major capital deployment.
