In other recent news, Westwater Resources has secured contracts for the full anticipated Phase I production from its Kellyton Graphite Plant. These offtake agreements, signed with SK On and Fiat (BIT:STLAM) Chrysler Automobiles, guarantee the sale of Coated Spherical Purified Graphite, a critical component in lithium-ion batteries. The company has also managed to reduce the estimated construction costs for the plant by $26 million, bringing the total to $245 million. Additionally, Westwater is finalizing a $150 million debt financing deal to complete the plant’s construction, despite recent policy decisions causing market uncertainty.
Financially, Westwater reported a net loss of $12.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, an increase from the previous year’s loss.
