Westwater Highlights Graphite Expansion at DealFlow Discovery Conference

Westwater Resources ( (WWR) ) has issued an announcement.

On January 29, 2026, Westwater Resources’ Executive Chairman Terence Cryan was scheduled to present at the DealFlow Discovery Conference, using an updated investor presentation that outlines progress and plans for the company’s graphite business. The materials highlight that the Kellyton Graphite Plant is under construction with more than half of its $245 million capital cost already invested, Phase 1 capacity of 12,500 metric tons per year of battery-grade natural graphite nearly sold out under two offtake agreements, and plans to expand total capacity to 50,000 metric tons per year, supported by a qualification line and a patented purification process that has helped secure customers. The presentation also underscores the strategic significance of Westwater’s Coosa Graphite Deposit—covering about 42,000 acres, with drilling to date indicating 2.3 million short tons of natural graphite and a 2023 assessment pointing to a 22-year mine life at 99,000 short tons per year—reinforcing the company’s domestic, first-mover advantage as graphite demand accelerates with the growth of electric vehicles and energy storage.

Spark’s Take on WWR Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, WWR is a Neutral.

The score is held down primarily by very weak financial performance (no meaningful revenue, sizable losses, and continued cash burn), partially offset by a comparatively low-leverage balance sheet. Technicals are moderately supportive with price above several key moving averages and a constructive RSI, but momentum indicators are mixed. The latest earnings call was mixed as well: solid cash runway and project progress were tempered by increased financing risk following the Stellantis offtake termination.
