Westwater Resources (WWR) Stock Price, News & Analysis

Company Overview

Westwater Resources (NASDAQ:WWR) is a U.S.-based resource development company focused on supplying sustainable battery materials for the electric vehicle and energy storage markets. Headquartered in Houston, Texas, the company has transitioned its core operations from legacy uranium and water services into advanced lithium exploration and processing. Westwater’s strategy centers on developing domestic lithium projects and establishing production capacity to support the North American supply chain for high-purity lithium hydroxide and carbonate.

At the heart of Westwater’s portfolio is the Coho lithium project in Texas, where the company is advancing direct-shipping ore and exploring processing technologies aimed at delivering battery-grade material. In addition to Coho, Westwater holds exploration leases for the Tip Top lithium project in Arizona, positioning itself across multiple U.S. jurisdictions with resource potential. These projects are complemented by a planning effort for a centralized processing facility designed to convert raw ore into finished lithium products for downstream customers in the automotive and grid storage sectors.

Founded in the late 1970s, Westwater has evolved through several business cycles, originally operating as a uranium explorer and producer before expanding into water well drilling and environmental services in Texas and New Mexico. In recent years, management elected to pivot the company toward lithium, recognizing growing global demand for battery metals. The transition leverages Westwater’s longstanding land-holding expertise, permitting relationships and technical know-how to fast-track project development in strategic U.S. locations.

The company is led by President and Chief Executive Officer Charles E. Pope, whose background spans over three decades in mining, energy and water resource management. Under his stewardship, Westwater has assembled an executive team with deep experience in mineral exploration, project permitting and process engineering. Together, they are guiding Westwater Resources toward becoming a vertically integrated supplier of critical minerals essential for North America’s burgeoning clean-energy economy.
