NEW YORK, Feb. 03, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ramaco Resources, Inc. (Nasdaq: METC ), an operator and developer of high-quality, low cost metallurgical coal, visited the Nasdaq MarketSite in Times Square today in celebration of its initial public offering (IPO) on The Nasdaq Stock Market.

Atkins, Co-Founder and Executive Chairman of Ramaco Resources. “Ramaco’s ‘geology-first’ business strategy, combined with its advantaged balance sheet, is now ready to take its place as a reliable and low cost producer in the U.S. metallurgical coal space,” said Michael Bauersachs, Co-Founder, President and Chief Executive.
