Westwater Resources Inc Dossier
Qualitative Analysis
Business overview
Westwater Resources, Inc. (NYSE American: WWR) is an energy technology and critical minerals company focused on developing battery-grade natural graphite materials in the United States. The company's vertically integrated, mine-to-market strategy is anchored by two primary projects in Coosa County, Alabama: the Kellyton Graphite Plant (an advanced processing facility under construction) and the Coosa Graphite Deposit (a 41,965-acre mineral resource intended to provide natural graphite flake concentrate feedstock). Originally incorporated in 1977 as Uranium Resources, Inc., the company shifted its strategic focus to graphite in 2017 to capitalize on the growing domestic demand for lithium-ion battery anode materials.
