Westwater Resources, Inc., an energy materials development company, announced today that it has taken delivery of the first shipment of natural flake graphite concentrate pursuant to its recently announced long-term graphite purchase agreement.
The entirety of the 20 metric tonnes of material received will be used in development of planned pilot scale processes and to produce several metric tonnes of battery ready advanced graphite products which include ULTRA-PMGTM, ULTRA-DEXDGTM and ULTRA-CSPGTM. Various sizes of each of the Company’s three planned products will be distributed to potential clients to advance the pre-qualification process.
Christopher M. Jones, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “With this delivery, we can now go about the business of executing our pilot plant studies and putting larger samples of battery graphite in the hands of battery manufacturers. This is an important milestone.”
