Nasdaq-listed Ramaco Resources has reported a “material” methane ignition at its Berwind coal mining complex, which will impact production from the complex for an “indeterminant period of time”.

The cause of the ignition at the mine on the border of Virginia and West Virginia is unknown, the US-headquartered metallurgical coal miner said on Monday.

Ramaco noted that the mine was idle at the time of the incident, and that there were no personnel in the mine nor any injuries or fatalities.   

The company, in conjunction with state and federal regulatory authorities, will be conducting a full investigation into the incident.
