About
Westwater Resources, Inc. Common Stock (WWR) is an energy technology company headquartered in Centennial, Colorado, that focuses on developing battery-grade natural graphite materials in the United States. Incorporated in 1977, the company was formerly known as Uranium Resources, Inc. and adopted its current name in August 2017 as it shifted its focus toward materials used in energy storage.
The company's work centers on graphite, a material used in the anodes of lithium-ion batteries. Its main assets are the Coosa Graphite project and the Kellyton Graphite plant, both located in Alabama. The Coosa Graphite project covers roughly 41,965 acres in east-central Alabama, near the western end of Coosa County, and is the source of natural graphite that the company intends to process. The Kellyton Graphite plant, situated near Kellyton, Alabama, is the facility planned for refining that raw material into finished battery-grade products.
As a development-focused business, Westwater Resources is oriented toward bringing these graphite operations into production rather than generating sales from a mature product line. Its strategy ties the resource at Coosa to the processing capability at Kellyton, aiming to supply graphite anode materials to manufacturers in the battery and electric vehicle supply chain. Westwater Resources, Inc. concentrates its activities on the United States market, positioning itself within the domestic effort to build out materials production for energy storage technologies.
