The $30M verdict is a material cash inflow for a coal miner of Ramaco's size, but the award is not final — watch for post-trial motions to reduce or set aside the verdict within 28 days, and a potential appeal within 30 days. The court's separate determination of attorneys' fees could add further upside.
