💨 Abstract

In Wyoming, Ramaco Resources plans to open a new coal mine focused on extracting rare earth elements, crucial for tech products and military hardware. The Brook Mine, scheduled for a groundbreaking ceremony, aims to process coal to obtain metals like neodymium and dysprosium. This effort is supported by figures like Energy Secretary Chris Wright and former Sen. Joe Manchin, who joined Ramaco's board. The mine, stalled for over a decade, represents a shift from traditional coal use.
