Domestic graphite Westwater is advancing the Kellyton Graphite Plant to produce battery-grade natural graphite in Alabama, positioning the company as a primary domestic supplier for EVs, electronics, and energy storage. Sales opportunities exist with U.S. battery manufacturers, automakers, and energy storage developers seeking locally sourced graphite.

Strategic partnerships Existing offtake agreements with Fiat Chrysler (Stellantis) and other partners indicate a proven pathway for long-term customer relationships. Targeting similar OEMs, battery chemistries, and battery materials integrators could expand secure revenue streams through multi-year contracts.

Export-Import support Recent $25M EXIM financing underscores strong governmental support for domestic critical minerals projects. This creates an opening to collaborate with suppliers, logistics providers, and project financiers to streamline supply chain finance, permitting-driven milestones, and downstream processing services.

Milestone-driven sales Construction and permitting progress for the two-phase Kellyton Plant and Coosa Deposit rollout creates timing advantages for phased sales propositions, such as pilots, sample supply, and scalable volume agreements aligned with plant commissioning and ramp-up schedules.

U.S. critical minerals stance As the largest natural flake graphite deposit in the contiguous U.S. and a national energy goal enabler, Westwater presents opportunities to engage with government programs, US-based engineering firms, and value-added processing partners to co-develop and commercialize domestic graphite supply chains.
