Westwater Resources (NYSE American: WWR) is a battery materials company developing a domestic supply of battery-grade graphite for the electric vehicle and energy storage markets. The company has no commercial revenue as of FY2025, operating entirely in the pre-production stage. Its core assets are the Kellyton Graphite Plant under construction in Kellyton, Alabama, and the Coosa Graphite Deposit, also in Alabama. Cumulative project costs at the Kellyton plant reached approximately $128.2 million as of December 31, 2025, with key electrical work and micronization and spheroidization equipment installation underway. Graphite is listed on both the U.S. Critical Minerals List and the EU Critical Raw Materials List. Active offtake agreements are in place with SK On and Hiller Carbon (for graphite fines, signed September 17, 2024).
