MSFT Co Pilot

Brook Mine is expected to begin selling rare earth minerals to end-user customers between 2028 and 2029, once full-scale production is underway.

Here’s a detailed look at the timeline and milestones:

📅 Brook Mine Sales Timeline
2025: Officially opened in July, marking the first new rare earth mine in the U.S. in 70 years.

2025–2027: Focused on infrastructure development, pilot-scale extraction, and building the Strategic Critical Minerals Terminal (SCMT) for future stockpiling.

2028–2029: Target window for full-scale production and commercial sales of rare earth oxides to public and private customers.

🏗️ Current Activities
Ramaco Resources is working with the U.S. Department of Energy under a five-year CRADA to develop extraction and processing technologies.

The mine is producing material at a pilot scale, but no confirmed deliveries or sales to external customers have occurred yet.

The company is positioning Brook Mine as a strategic reserve and future supplier for defense, electronics, and clean energy sectors.

🔍 Summary
While Brook Mine is operational, it is still in the ramp-up phase. Commercial sales are expected to begin in the next 3–4 years, once processing and logistics are fully established.
