Ramaco Resources, Inc. has executed a non-binding memorandum of understanding with Pennsylvania-based technology company roboLoop to establish a strategic relationship for testing, validation, and potential e-waste material purchases.

Under the arrangement, roboLoop will negotiate terms to supply gallium-rich e-waste materials processed at its facility to Ramaco. The feedstock will be directed to Ramaco’s anticipated future pilot plant and commercial-scale carbochlorination facility located at the Brook Facility in Sheridan, Wyoming.

The engagement supports an e-waste opportunity identified in an initial assessment report released by Hatch Associates Consultants in July 2026. The initiative forms part of Ramaco’s broader e-waste strategy to incorporate external materials to enhance the recovery of rare earths and critical minerals from the Brook Facility.

Any future supply or offtake agreements remain conditional on the completion of due diligence, the negotiation and execution of definitive agreements, and the construction and operation of the Brook Facility.

“Ramaco is excited to pursue a future partnership with roboLoop to source and process e-waste materials at Ramaco's Brook Facility. This collaboration reinforces our commitment to pursuing critical mineral recovery, resource efficiency, and sustainability. Initially, we will be incorporating gallium related e-waste materials into our feedstock which has the potential to enhance and optimize the recovery of a variety of critical minerals and rare earth elements. We look forward to working with roboLoop to advance this opportunity,” said Randall Atkins, Chairman and CEO of Ramaco Resources.

“At roboLoop, we are redefining the future of electronics recycling. Using proprietary robotic systems designed at the intersection of artificial intelligence and advanced engineering. By focusing on precision robotic disassembly, we protect workers, maximize material recovery, and contribute directly to the circular economy. We are advancing our process to prepare precious, critical, and rare earth metals to support recovery with companies like Ramaco. We are very excited for this opportunity!,” said Ned Eldridge, CEO of roboLoop.

The Brook Mine holds a five-year mining permit approved by the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality, authorizing coal mining and reclamation activities across 4,548.8 permitted acres. Ramaco has also previously executed non-binding memoranda of understanding with Mulberry Industries and REalloys to negotiate offtake partnerships for rare earth products from the Wyoming project.
