Randall Atkins to Address Energy Security at Baker Botts Summit

The summit, running October 6-7, 2026, serves as a platform for industry leaders to dissect the integration of energy policy and national security. Atkins is expected to anchor his contributions on the shifting requirements for U.S. industrial and technological independence, specifically referencing his firm's exploratory work at the Brook Mine in Wyoming.

Atkins views the current moment as a critical junction where energy and mineral stability dictate economic resilience. His discussion will center on the development of rare earth elements, a sector where Ramaco is currently balancing significant intellectual property investments with the practical challenges of commercial-scale extraction. While the company maintains active metallurgical coal operations across Appalachia, its Wyoming project remains the primary focus for its pivot toward critical materials.
