WESTWATER’S GRAPHITE BUSINESS

Kellyton Graphite Plant

The Kellyton Graphite Plant has been under construction for over three years. Under a lease with the Lake Martin Area Industrial Development Authority, AGP holds rights to approximately 70 acres to construct and operate the Kellyton Graphite Plant. The lease has a term of 10 years, a nominal lease payment, and an option to transfer the title of the land to AGP for a nominal amount during the term of the lease.

AGP has also entered into incentive agreements with the State of Alabama and local municipalities for locating the Kellyton Graphite Plant near Kellyton in Coosa County, Alabama. The incentive agreements provide certain tax credits and incentives under the Alabama Jobs Act in connection with the construction of the Kellyton Graphite Plant.

AGP owns two buildings, adjacent to the Kellyton Graphite Plant, that total approximately 90,000 sq. ft. The build-out of the administrative building was completed in April of 2022 and includes the R&D Lab constructed in 2023. The other building includes our qualification line and is being used for the maintenance shop, shipping and receiving, and as warehousing space.

Westwater plans to develop the Kellyton Graphite Plant in two phases (Phase I and II). The Kellyton Graphite Plant is anticipated to have capacity to produce a total of approximately 26,500 mt of product per year in Phase I, which will increase to approximately 106,000 mt of product per year upon completion of Phase II. The anticipated capacity of each product is the following:

​​​
​Phase I:Phase I and II:
ULTRA-CSPG™12,500 mt per year50,000 mt per year
SG Fines14,000 mt per year56,000 mt per year
Total Capacity26,500 mt per year106,000 mt per year

Construction activities for Phase I of the Kellyton Graphite Plant began in the fourth quarter of 2021 and will continue in 2026. Westwater continued construction activities related to Phase I of the Kellyton Graphite Plant at a measured pace during 2025 and with the additional financing raised in the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company has ordered additional long-lead equipment items to further advance the Kellyton Graphite Plant. The Company will continue to maintain a measured approach and optimize capital investment in Phase I at the Kellyton Graphite Plant. Reducing the level of construction activity until additional financing is secured to complete construction of Phase I is expected to extend the overall schedule to complete Phase I of the Kellyton Graphite Plant.

Spheroidization, Purification and Post-Processing Activities

The Company will process natural graphite concentrate at the Kellyton Graphite Plant through a combination of milling and shaping to produce spheroidized graphite and SG Fines. Then, the purification of the spheroidized graphite will be performed using a patented proprietary purification process that was developed and tested during our pilot program by Dorfner Anzaplan, other engineering consultants, and internally in our R&D Lab and qualification line. The purification process uses technologies related to caustic baking, acid leaching and thermal treatment with a smaller and more sustainable environmental footprint than that of a hydrofluoric acid based purification system, which is widely used by other graphite processing companies. Once the graphite is turned into purified graphitic carbon with a carbon content exceeding 99.95%, the surface coating will be completed to manufacture the advanced graphite products we intend to sell. On September 17, 2025, the Company announced it had received its first U.S. Patent related to its graphite purification method. The Company also has an additional patent application pending in the U.S.

Westwater currently purchases graphite flake concentrate for the Kellyton Graphite Plant under a supply contract with Syrah Resources Limited. In 2025, the Company also entered into a contract with a non-FEOC backup feedstock supplier. Westwater expects to continue to purchase graphite concentrate from Syrah Resources Limited and/or other sources for the Kellyton Graphite Plant until the Coosa Graphite Deposit is developed and in operation. Westwater believes its current contract with Syrah Resources Limited provides adequate feedstock supply until then and entered into the

agreement with the backup feedstock supplier to secure further supply to reduce dependency, mitigate risk and ensure supply chain continuity.

Coosa Graphite Deposit

Westwater acquired Alabama Graphite in 2018 as part of a strategic decision to refocus the Company to supply battery manufacturers with low-cost, high-quality, and high-margin battery-grade natural graphite products. As part of that transaction, Westwater became the owner of mineral lease rights over the Coosa Graphite Deposit, located near Rockford, Alabama, 50 miles southeast of Birmingham. For further detail on the Coosa Graphite Deposit refer toItem 2, Properties, below.

Mining Method

The Coosa Graphite Deposit is expected to be mined by conventional small-scale open-pit mining methods.

Concentrate Plant

Mineralized material from the Coosa Graphite Deposit is projected to have an average grade of approximately 3.04% Cg, and is expected to contain impurities consisting of quartz, muscovite, iron oxides and calcite. Most of the impurities are present on the surfaces of the graphite flakes and can be easily removed during a metallurgical process known as flotation. Flotation processing maximizes the removal of these impurities while avoiding degradation of graphite flakes.

Further development work at the Coosa Graphite Deposit is expected to result in the detailed design and construction of a milling and concentration plant.

Products and Business Development

The Company has worked to develop products for potential major battery markets. Based on discussions with potential customers, Westwater is focusing on the production of ULTRA-CSPG™ and SG Fines during Phase I of the Kellyton Graphite Plant and expects to evaluate the production of additional products in Phase II, subject to market demand and customer interest.

The Company is in active discussions with additional potential customers, including battery manufacturers and automobile manufacturers, with the goal of executing multi-year supply agreements for Phase II. To date, the Company has executed a Procurement Agreement with SK On and a Fines Offtake Agreement with Hiller Carbon.

Regulation

Graphite extraction and processing are regulated by federal and state governments. Compliance with such regulations has a material effect on the economics of our operations and the timing of project development. Our primary regulatory costs have been, and are expected to relate to, obtaining licenses and operating permits from federal and state agencies before the commencement of production activities, as well as the cost for continuing compliance with licenses and permits once they have been issued. The current environmental and technical regulatory requirements for the graphite extraction and processing industry are well established. However, the regulatory process can make permitting difficult and timing unpredictable.

U.S. regulations pertaining to graphite extraction and processing may evolve in the U.S. However, at this time we do not anticipate any adverse impact from these regulations that would be unique to our operations.

Kellyton Graphite Plant

For construction and operations of the Kellyton Graphite Plant, the Company is required to obtain and maintain permits related to air emissions, water discharge, storm water drainage, and other regulated waste. The Company has all necessary permits to complete the construction of Phase I of the Kellyton Graphite Plant.

Coosa Graphite Deposit

Graphite mining and processing in Alabama requires various permits, including those for any emissions to air, water, or other aspects of the environment. Permits may be required from the State of Alabama, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the Army Corps of Engineers, and other state and federal agencies. Specifically, to mine the Coosa Graphite Deposit, permits may be required in accordance with the Alabama Surface Mining Act of 1969, which is administered by the Alabama Department of Labor (“DoL”). DoL issues mining permits, ensures that mine sites are properly bonded for reclamation purposes, and makes periodic inspections. The Company is currently in the process of determining which permits are needed as well as the requirements for posting surety obligations or negotiable bonds related to the area to be disturbed. Future mining operations at the Coosa Graphite Deposit may be subject to the U.S. National Environmental Policy Act process, with potential review by various federal agencies that may include the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the Army Corp of Engineers, and others.

In Alabama, any surface or groundwater withdrawals are managed through the Alabama Water Use Reporting Program. The Alabama Water Resources Act and associated regulations establish the requirements for water withdrawals. The process begins with the submission of an application form called a “Declaration of Beneficial Use” and other required information to the Office of Water Resources (“OWR”) within the Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs. Once application information is reviewed and determined to be complete, OWR will issue a Certificate of Use (“COU”) that lists the applicant’s name and information concerning all registered surface and/or groundwater withdrawal points and their withdrawal information. Entities with a capacity to withdraw more than 100,000 gallons per day are required to register with OWR and obtain a COU. The COU certifies that proposed water use will not interfere with existing water use and is beneficial. The Company anticipates evaluating the future need for a COU during its development of a detailed mine plan.
