Westwater Resources, Inc. (NYSE: American: WWR), an energy technology and battery-grade natural graphite company (“Westwater” or the “Company”), is pleased to announce an increase in customer interest relating to off-take supply agreements for its natural graphite battery anode materials.

The global landscape for the U.S. supply of critical materials like natural graphite continues to evolve. One of the key benefits of moving to a domestic supply source for battery grade natural graphite – security of supply – appears to be resonating with U.S. cell makers and electric vehicle OEMs. Westwater is responding to outreaches from these companies as they weigh the impact of potential changes to the Inflation Reduction Act versus new announcements declaring the importance of U.S.-based critical material supply chains.

Jon Jacobs, Westwater’s Chief Commercial Officer, commented, “The growing risk of increased tariffs on Chinese imports and the potential addition of new tariffs on imports from other countries is accelerating our off-take discussions with new customers. Although the Company still has roughly 50 percent of our expanded Phase II capacity at the Kellyton Plant available, we anticipate that remaining capacity will be sold by the end of this year through one or more off-take agreements that are under review now at several companies.”
