WESTWATER RESOURCES, INC.

Westwater’s core values drive our business and operations. Westwater’s core values are:

The Company works to be a good corporate citizen and to safeguard our employees, operations, neighbors and the local communities in which our employees and stakeholders live and work.

Environmental Criteria and Actions

The DFS for Phase I defined the raw material inputs, energy inputs, product streams, and waste streams, including air, water, solids and heat, for processing our graphite into battery products. Integrated into these input and output streams, we are defining methods of reducing impacts on our environment, including:

*Greenhouse gas emissions:*Westwater has completed an initial LCA for Phase I of the Kellyton Graphite Plant, which was prepared assuming that the plant produces the previous estimate of 7,500 mt of CSPG per year. Westwater plans to update the LCA for the higher planned production of 12,500 mt of CSPG per year once the plant is operating. However, based on the initial LCA, the main contributors to CO 2 emissions at the Kellyton Graphite Plant are electricity consumption and direct CO 2 emission from natural gas combustion. Westwater expects that Phase I will be a “minor source”, as defined by the ADEM, of air emissions with the following criteria pollutants: carbon monoxide (“CO”), ozone, nitrogen dioxide (“NO 2”), sulfur dioxide (“SO 2”), and particulate matter (“PM”) in respect to the USEPA’s Prevention of Significant Deterioration (“PSD”) program. All criteria pollutants are projected to be <100 tons per year (“TPY”). Additionally, the projected emissions of hazardous air pollutants (“HAP”) are expected to be below the “major source”, as defined by ADEM, threshold of 25 TPY and no single HAP is expected to be above the individual 10 TPY threshold. The Company anticipates that estimated emissions will remain below the major source thresholds when producing 12,500 mt of CSPG per year.

The expected process to produce battery-grade products for Phase I of the Kellyton Graphite Plant will not use hydrofluoric acid, which is widely utilized elsewhere in the industry. Westwater believes a non-hydrofluoric acid process is advantageous because air and water emissions are either eliminated or significantly reduced, and because the chemicals that will be utilized in lieu of hydrofluoric acid are non-volatile and will be recycled in part through a closed loop circuit. The reduced environmental impact associated with operations at the Kellyton Graphite Plant should substantially outweigh any potential advantages (“cost footprint”) that may exist for the hydrofluoric acid process. The Kellyton Graphite Plant is designed to recycle approximately 70% of the chemicals used in its purification process. Westwater estimates its process emits approximately 10% less greenhouse gas (“GHG”) emissions than Chinese natural graphite processing methods, and approximately 44% less GHG emissions than Chinese synthetic graphite processing methods.

*Wastewater management:*We expect that the Kellyton Graphite Plant will not have surface water discharge to waters of the U.S., nor are there any such jurisdictional waters of the U.S. at the Kellyton Graphite Plant. In August 2022, the Company received its SID permit for the treatment of wastewater from the Alabama Department of Environmental Management. Under the SID, the Company provides an agreed upon wastewater profile to be processed by the local wastewater treatment plant. The Company plans to pretreat the wastewater from the Kellyton Graphite Plant through recycling, neutralizing and filtering to ensure it meets the requirements under the SID.

Social Criteria and Actions

As part of our Kellyton Graphite Plant design and analysis we are evaluating community needs, with input from the local stakeholders, and our ability to support them – whether in education, infrastructure, or in other ways applicable to community needs. Through the Alabama Industrial Training (“AIDT”) program, the Company is eligible to receive a cash reimbursement for the design of a customized plan for the recruitment, screening, and training of new employees. In addition to the cash reimbursement for training, AIDT offers in-kind services, which include items such as assistance with a pre-employment selection system, maintenance assessments, safety assistance and training, and robotic and programable logic controller automation training.

Westwater has held “townhall” meetings with the local community in Coosa County, Alabama, to maintain open and transparent communication as well as to hear and work to address any concerns of the community. Multiple members

of the Westwater team have attended meetings to discuss the economic development of the local community. The Company has also hosted first responders’ luncheons that have included tours of the Kellyton Graphite Plant for over 100 first responders and local officials to show appreciation to those helping within the local community.

Westwater has a strong history in social license. For instance, the Company has participated in community service projects at local schools in Coosa and Tallapoosa Counties, Alabama, with a focus on facility improvements and grounds maintenance. Historically, when the Company had prior operations, it provided scholarships to families within the communities where it had operations.

Westwater Team and Culture (“Human Capital”)

Our team and culture are key to our success. We are committed to fostering solid relationships with all members of our workforce based on trust, treating workers fairly, providing them with safe and healthy working conditions and the opportunity to achieve and contribute to their full potential. Our team is defined by a commitment to our mission, vision, and values, which includes providing a great place to work for teammates, being a good neighbor in the communities where we work and live, and being a good steward for our investors.

As of December 31, 2025, 20 people were employed as full-time employees by Westwater.

Consistent with our core value of safety for each other, Westwater offers employment benefits including medical insurance, paid time off, sick leave, and retirement plans for all teammates, and a bonus structure at all salaried levels of the organization. Additionally, we have a history of supporting the professional development of members of our workforce including financial support to those wishing to obtain advanced degrees, as well as leadership seminars and training.

Westwater has executed agreements with state and local community organizations to support local surrounding communities. While constructing, equipping, and operating the Kellyton Graphite Plant, the Company gives good-faith consideration to hiring and purchasing from qualified, local contractors and vendors in good standing with the State of Alabama. The Company is committed to good-faith consideration of recruiting and hiring local workers.

Governance Criteria and Factors

Board of Directors

The Company’s business and affairs are overseen by the Board pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law and the Company’s charter documents. Members of the Board are kept informed of the Company’s business through discussions with the President and Chief Executive Officer and key members of management, by reviewing materials provided to them and by participating in Board and Committee meetings. All members of the Board are elected annually by the stockholders.

Regular attendance at Board meetings and the Annual Meeting of Stockholders is expected of each director. Our Board held twelve meetings during 2025. All directors attended all meetings of the Board and applicable Committees held in 2025. The independent directors met in executive session at several of the Board meetings held in 2025. All directors attended the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

Board Leadership Structure

The Company’s governing documents allow the roles of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer to be filled by the same or different individuals. This approach allows the Board flexibility to determine whether the two roles should be separate or combined based upon the Company’s needs and the Board’s assessment of the Company’s leadership from time to time. Currently, Terence J. Cryan serves as Executive Chairman and Frank Bakker serves as Chief Executive Officer.

Safety and Sustainability Committee (previously the Health, Safety, and Environmental Committee)

The Company has a Safety and Sustainability Committee that reports directly to the entire Board of Directors of Westwater. The Safety and Sustainability Committee held three meetings in 2025. The Committee’s charter reads, in part:

The Committee’s primary purposes are to:

Members of the Safety and Sustainability Committee have direct experience in managing ISO 14001 Environmental Management Systems (“EMS”). These systems are designed to provide for reliable performance in sustainable management of businesses. The Company is committed to the continual improvement of its EMS, according to compliance obligations, by following the principles and requirements of ISO 14001. After the completion of our Phase I DFS, management has designed ISO 14001 based management systems to facilitate and govern our environmental performance. This effort includes the establishment of a preliminary set of metrics for measuring that performance.

Audit Committee

The Company has a separately designated Audit Committee composed solely of independent directors. The Audit Committee held four meetings in 2025.

The Audit Committee’s primary responsibilities are to:

Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committee held five meetings and had several informal discussions in 2025. The Compensation Committee is responsible for assisting the Board in setting the compensation of the Company’s directors and executive officers and administering and implementing the Company’s incentive compensation plans and equity-based plans.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee held two meetings during 2025, and its duties and responsibilities are to:

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board identifies director candidates based on input provided by a number of sources, including members of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, other directors, our stockholders, members of management and third parties. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee does not distinguish between nominees recommended by our stockholders and those recommended by other parties. Any stockholder recommendation must be sent to the Secretary of Westwater Resources, Inc. at 6950 S. Potomac Street, Suite 300, Centennial, Colorado 80112, and must include detailed background information regarding the suggested candidate that demonstrates how the individual meets the Board membership criteria discussed below. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also has the authority to consult with or retain advisors or search firms to assist in the identification of qualified director candidates.

As part of the identification process, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee takes into account each candidate’s business and professional skills, experience serving in management or on the board of directors of companies similar to the Company, financial literacy, independence, personal integrity and judgment. In conducting this assessment, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will, in connection with its assessment and recommendation of candidates for director, consider diversity (including, but not limited to, gender, race, ethnicity, age, experience and skills) and such other factors as it deems appropriate given the then-current and anticipated future needs of the Board and the Company, and to maintain a balance of perspectives, qualifications, qualities and skills on the Board. The Board does not have a formal diversity policy for directors. However, the Board is committed to an inclusive membership. Although the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may seek candidates that have different qualities and experiences at different times in order to maximize the aggregate experience, qualities and strengths of the Board members, nominees for each election or appointment of directors will be evaluated using a substantially similar process. Incumbent directors who are being considered for re-nomination are re-evaluated both on their performance as directors and their continued ability to meet the required qualifications.

Board of Directors

Westwater’s Board of Directors is comprised of five directors, three of whom are independent.
