Disclosure of Payments by Resource Extraction Issuers
The specified payment disclosure required by this Form is included as Exhibit 2.01 to this Form SD.
This report discloses payments made by Ramaco Resources, Inc., including its consolidated subsidiaries, during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, to the United States federal government or a foreign government for the purpose of the commercial development of oil, natural gas, or minerals. Payments made to state governments are not included.

We also control mineral deposits near Sheridan, Wyoming as part of the Company’s initiatives regarding the potential recovery of rare earth elements and critical minerals as well as the potential commercialization of coal-to-carbon-based products and materials.
All activities within each state have been treated as a single project for reporting purposes. Pursuant to Item 2.01(b)(1) of Form SD, we are delaying disclosing payment information for exploratory activities and related programs conducted in Wyoming for which commercialization has not yet occurred until our Form SD submitted for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024, which is the fiscal year immediately following the fiscal year in which the payments were made.
