Westwater Resources ‘focused on advancing’ mine-to-market graphite platform

Looking ahead, Westwater remains focused on advancing its vertically integrated, mine-to-market graphite platform. “Westwater is focused on advancing a secure, domestic supply of battery-grade graphite,” said Terence Cryan, Executive Chairman of Westwater Resources (WWR). “In 2026, we plan to continue customer qualification, advance permitting at Coosa, and put in place the lowest available cost of capital financing necessary to complete Phase I of Kellyton. Based on our progress, we believe we are the most advanced American developer of battery-grade natural graphite and, once financing is in place, we will be well-positioned to begin supplying the market within approximately 12 months.” During 2026, the Company expects to continue operating the Kellyton qualification line to support customer sampling and qualification, and to continue our permitting and environmental work at the Coosa Graphite Deposit. Westwater also plans to pursue additional offtake opportunities across multiple end markets, including battery manufacturers, automotive OEMs, defense contractors, and other industrial customers, while continuing to evaluate financing options, including potential government-supported funding, to support Phase I at Kellyton.
