Ramaco Resources, Indium Corp ink gallium and germanium supply deal for Brook mine
Brook mine in Wyoming holds what the company says is the US' largest unconventional deposit of rare earth elements and critical minerals sourced from coal and carbonaceous ore.
Ramaco Resources and Indium Corporation have agreed to a non-binding memorandum of understanding (MOU) that could potentially supply gallium and germanium from Ramaco's Brook mine. The Brook mine, located in Wyoming, is a rare earth and critical mineral project believed to have the largest unconventional deposit of such materials in the nation.
This particular mine is America's first new rare earth element and critical mineral mine in over 70 years, focusing on vertical integration of commercial oxides. Brook mine is currently undergoing full-scale mining and construction of a pilot processing facility, located near Sheridan. The collaboration between Ramaco and Indium Corporation is aimed at introducing the potential supply of gallium and germanium from Brook Mine into established domestic and allied supply chains.
Indium Corporation, headquartered in New York, is a global materials refiner and manufacturer that supplies specialized metals, solders, and thermal management products used in a variety of high-tech applications, including electronics, semiconductors, electric vehicles, aerospace, and defense systems.
