Ramaco Resources, Inc.

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act, we have evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer, who serves as our principal executive officer, and our chief financial officer, who serves as our principal financial officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures, and is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. However, based on that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report as a result of the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting as described below.

Previously Reported Material Weakness

We previously identified a material weakness and concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2024, were not effective at the reasonable assurance level as a result of the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting disclosed below. The Company’s remediation plan for the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting is also discussed below.

Based on this evaluation, management identified a material weakness related to an insufficiency of appropriately qualified and trained professionals to perform certain control activities necessary to achieve our control objectives. The material weakness also resulted in incomplete or inadequate documentation related to accounting policies and procedures, inappropriate conclusions reached regarding non-routine accounting matters, and insufficient evidence of internal control activities. A material weakness is a control deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Management concluded that its internal control over financial reporting was ineffective as of December 31, 2024.

Remediation Plan

We have executed our plan for remediation to address the material weakness, which included assessing, redesigning, and implementing modifications of our internal controls, and the hiring of additional qualified accounting personnel, while supplementing internal resources with qualified external advisors as needed. While management has taken steps to address the root cause of the material weakness, we will not be able to fully remediate this material weakness until testing of the amended internal controls have demonstrated their operating effectiveness over a sustained period of financial reporting cycles.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

We have taken substantial steps toward improving our control environment by executing our remediation plan to address the material weakness, as described above. Except as described above, there were no significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our third quarter that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

Senior members of management do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
