Westwater Resources, Inc. WWR

Company Overview

Westwater Resources, Inc. is a U.S.-based energy materials development company focused primarily on battery-grade graphite products and advanced battery materials for the lithium-ion battery supply chain. The company operates within the broader energy materials, critical minerals, and battery technology industries, with a strategic emphasis on supplying domestically sourced graphite products to electric vehicle (EV), energy storage, and industrial customers. Westwater has transitioned over time from a diversified natural resources company with uranium interests into a battery materials-focused business centered on graphite processing and anode material production.

The company’s primary revenue and development focus is its graphite business, particularly through the planned development of the Kellyton Graphite Plant in Alabama and the Coosa Graphite Deposit in Alabama. These assets are intended to support production of purified graphite products used in lithium-ion battery anodes. Westwater’s positioning is tied to growing U.S. demand for domestically sourced battery materials amid concerns about supply chain concentration in Asia, especially China. Historically, the company operated under the name Uranium Resources, Inc. before rebranding to Westwater Resources in 2017 as it broadened its strategic focus toward energy-related materials and battery supply chains.
