No, the Brook Mine has not yet delivered rare earth minerals to any customers. It is still in the early stages of development and production.

Here’s what we know about its current status:

🏗️ Brook Mine Development Timeline

Opened: July 2025, marking the first new rare earth mine in the U.S. in 70 years.

Production phase: Ramaco Resources has begun increasing rare earth oxide output—reporting a 175% increase in Q3 2025—but this is still part of early-stage extraction and testing.

No commercial deliveries: As of late 2025, there have been no confirmed shipments or sales of rare earth minerals to external customers.

DOE partnership: Ramaco signed a five-year Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) with the U.S. Department of Energy’s NETL to develop extraction and processing technologies.

Strategic stockpiling: The company is building a Strategic Critical Minerals Terminal (SCMT) to stockpile rare earths for future public and private use, but this is not yet operational.

🔍 Summary

Brook Mine is producing material at a pilot scale and preparing for future commercial activity, but no deliveries have occurred yet. The focus remains on scaling up, refining extraction methods, and building infrastructure.
