Graphite Sales Continuing Across All Product
Lines
Westwater Resources, Inc. (NYSE American: WWR), an energy
technology and battery-grade natural graphite company (“Westwater
Resources” or the “Company”), today announced that it has signed
its first letter of intent (LOI) to sell Ultra-Purified Micronized
Graphite (Ultra-PMG™) from our Kellyton Graphite Processing Plant,
which is now under construction in east-central Alabama. As is
standard, the LOI is subject to customary conditions and quality
and packaging specifications that will be included in a future
definitive agreement.
Ultra-PMG™ represents approximately one-half of the expected
production of purified graphite from the Kellyton Graphite
Processing Plant. The other half of the expected production will be
coated spherical purified graphite, or CSPG, which will be used in
lithium-ion batteries including for electric vehicles. Ultra-PMG™
can be used in a variety of industrial applications. While customer
interactions are ongoing related to our CSPG product and have
gained momentum following the passage of the Inflation Reduction
Act, executing agreements for Ultra-PMG™ is another positive step
forward for Westwater. The amount of product covered by this LOI
represents more than 25 percent of the expected annual production
of Ultra-PMG™ at the Kellyton Graphite Processing Plant.
