Ramaco Resources Q4 2025 Earnings Call - Carbochlorination Pivot Recasts Brook Mine Economics Toward Gallium and HPA

- Flow sheet pivot: Ramaco is switching Brook Mine processing to a carbochlorination flow sheet, a high temperature carbon and chlorine route, with initial tests showing nearly all gallium volatilizes into the chloride stream.
