NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for Westwater Resources, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” “WWR” or ~~“WWR”~~“Westwater”)~~, formerly known as Uranium Resources, Inc.~~, have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The accompanying statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements included in Westwater Resources, Inc.’s ~~2016~~ Annual Report on Form ~~10-K.~~10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 (“Annual Report”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which are of a normal, recurring nature) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, ~~2017~~2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other period including the full year ending December 31, ~~2017.~~2021.
Significant Accounting Policies
Our significant accounting policies are detailed in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements within our Annual Report.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes - Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (Topic 740)” which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. ASU 2019-12 became effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020. The adoption of ASU 2019-12 did not result in a material impact to our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-01 (ASU 2017-01), Business Combinations: Clarifying the Definition of a Business, which clarifies the definition of a business when determining whether a company has acquired or sold a business. The ASU applies to all entities and is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2017, and interim periods thereafter, with early adoption permitted under certain circumstances. The Company does not believe that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on our financial statements.
~~In November~~June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”. ASU 2016-13 will change how companies account for credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments. For trade receivables, loans and held-to-maturity debt securities, companies will be required to estimate lifetime expected credit losses and recognize an allowance against the related instruments. For available for sale debt securities, companies will be required to recognize an allowance for credit losses rather than reducing the carrying value of the asset. The adoption of this update, if applicable, will result in earlier recognition of losses and impairments. ASU 2016-13 will be effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022.
In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-19, “Codification Improvements to ASC 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses.” ASU 2016-13 introduced an expected credit loss methodology for the impairment of financial assets measured at amortized cost basis. That methodology replaces the probable, incurred loss model for those assets. ASU 2018-19 is the final version of Proposed Accounting Standards Update ~~No. 2016-18, Statement~~2018-270, which has been deleted. Additionally, the amendments clarify that receivables arising from operating leases are not within the scope of Subtopic 326-20. Instead, impairment of receivables arising from operating leases should be accounted for in accordance with ASC 842, Leases. ASU 2018-19 will be effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022.
The Company is currently evaluating ASU 2016-13 and ASU 2018-19 for the potential impact of adopting this guidance on its financial reporting.

2. LIQUIDITY
The Company last recorded revenues from operations in 2009. Since 2009, the ~~beginning-of-period~~Company has relied on equity financings, debt financings and ~~end-of-period total amounts shown~~asset sales to fund its operations. The Company expects to rely on debt and equity financings to fund its operations for the foreseeable future.
In 2016, the Company began to expand its business plan into acquisition and development of energy-related materials. First, in 2016 the Company obtained lithium mineral leases in Nevada and Utah as an exploration opportunity. Then, in 2018 the Company acquired Alabama Graphite Corp. and its Coosa Graphite Project in Alabama for the purpose of developing a commercial sized graphite mineral deposit and processing the flake graphite into advanced graphite products for use in batteries. In the third quarter of 2020, the Company executed the strategic decision to focus its resources on the ~~statement~~graphite business in Alabama, discontinuing its investment in its lithium mineral properties and selling its uranium business, located in Texas and New Mexico, to enCore. As discussed in Note 3, the sale to enCore closed on December 31, 2020, and included the elimination of ~~cash flows.~~a $9.3 million bonding liability, the elimination of $5.2 million in asset retirement obligations, and the elimination of more than $4.0 million in annual expenditures related to reclamation and compliance costs. The ~~ASU applies~~Company received approximately $1.8 million of enCore common stock and retained royalty interests on the New Mexico uranium properties as consideration for the sale. The Company also retained its uranium interests in Turkey, which are subject to all entities and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. As a result, upon adoption,ongoing international arbitration proceedings, in which the Company is seeking damages.
During the first nine months of 2021, the Company focused on graphite process development activities including the operation of a pilot program for processing flake graphite into battery-grade graphite products and a Definitive Feasibility Study (“DFS”) on Phase I of the Coosa Graphite Project. The data generated and experience gained from the pilot program was used to inform the Phase I DFS that was completed in October 2021 and will ~~include~~also inform the ~~restricted~~requirements and specifications for building a commercial graphite processing facility.
On September 30, 2021, the Company’s cash ~~amount in its beginning-of-period and end-of-period reconciliations of cash on its statement of cash flows. For~~balance was approximately $119.0 million.

The Company also would not have recorded a release~~shares of ~~restricted cash of $0.3 million in the investing section of its statement of cash flows.~~
~~2. LIQUIDITY~~
At September 30, 2017, the Company had working capital of $8.2 million, which along with the anticipated funding from the financing agreements described below, is expected to provide it with the necessary liquidity through September 30, 2018. At December 31, 2016, the Company had a working capital deficit of $4.2 million. The increase in working capital of $12.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was primarily due to the following:

Stock price volatility and uncertain economic conditions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the recent emergence of variant strains of the virus could significantly impact the Company’s ability to raise funds through equity financing. Market conditions, including but not limited to, inflation, labor shortages and supply chain disruptions could adversely impact the planned cost of the Company’s commercial graphite processing facility. Along with evaluating the continued use of the Cantor and Lincoln Park financing facilities, the Company may consider project financing to fund the construction of the commercial graphite processing facility.

4. ~~FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS~~FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Applicable accounting standards define fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price) and establishes a fair-value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value using the following definitions (from highest to lowest priority):
•
~~Level 1 inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are observable at the measurement date.~~
•
Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (i.e., interest rates, yield curves, etc.), and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).
•
Level 3 includes unobservable inputs that reflect management’s assumptions about what factors market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. These inputs are developed based on the best information available, including internal data.

● Level 1 inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are observable at the measurement date.
● Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (i.e., interest rates, yield curves, etc.), and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).
● Level 3 includes unobservable inputs that reflect management’s assessment about what factors market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. These inputs are developed based on the best information available, including internal data.

stock received as partial consideration for the sale of uranium assets to enCore (see Note 3). Further, the sale of the enCore shares was restricted and resulted in the Company applying a discount for the lack of marketability prior to May 1, 2021. As the restrictions on the sale of enCore stock have expired and the shares are currently available for sale, the fair value of the securities now reflects the unadjusted market price of enCore shares as of September 30, 2021. With the lifting of restrictions and no anticipated lack of marketability, the measurement in equity securities is now considered Level 1 in the fair-value hierarchy. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recognized unrealized gains of $0.5 million and $1.9 million, respectively, related to the increased fair value of the enCore shares.

Non-recurring Fair Value Measurements

As discussed in Note 5, on July 23, 2021, the Company received a land grant from local municipalities related to its planned graphite processing plant in Coosa County, Alabama. At inception, the Company estimated the fair value of the land to be approximately $1.4 million. The fair value was determined using Level 3 inputs using the market approach, by considering comparable sales in the area, adjusted for property specific items; such as lot size, location and access to major highways and distribution channels. The Company began amortization of the obligation over the 10-year lease term.

Land Addition

On June 22, 2021, Alabama Graphite Products, LLC (“AGP”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Westwater entered into incentive agreements with the State of Alabama and local municipalities for the siting of the Company’s planned graphite processing plant 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 processing facility. Additionally, in connection to, and in contemplation of the incentive agreements, on July 23, 2021, AGP entered into a land lease with the Lake Martin Area Industrial Development Authority. The lease provides AGP rights to approximately 70 acres to construct and operate its commercial graphite processing facility in Coosa County, Alabama. The lease has a term of

10-years, a nominal lease payment, and transfer of title to AGP at the end of the lease term. Further, the lease provides AGP the option to purchase the land for a nominal amount during the term of the lease.

The incentive agreements and the lease are accounted for by the company as a government grant; whereby the Company realized the fair value of the land, subject to the lease, at inception with a corresponding obligation on the consolidated balance sheet. The land is included in property, plant, and equipment, and represents a non-depreciable asset on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. The corresponding obligation is recorded in other long-term liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet.

6. ~~MINERAL PROPERTY EXPENDITURES~~DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

In the third quarter of 2020, the Company executed the strategic decision to focus its resources on its graphite business, and discontinued its investment in its lithium and uranium businesses. The Company’s lithium business included mineral leases and water rights in Nevada and Utah. The Company elected not to renew the annual lease rentals on the mineral properties, which also voids the water rights. On December 31, 2020, the Company sold its subsidiaries engaged in its uranium business to enCore (see Note 3).
~~Mineral property expenditures by geographical location~~
In accordance with ASC 205-20 – “Discontinued Operations,” the enCore transaction represented a major strategic shift for Westwater and resulted in the reclassification of the Company’s uranium activities as discontinued operations and disclosure of the associated profit/loss of the Company’s uranium business as a separate line-item on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, ~~2017 and 2016are as follows:~~2020.

7. ~~CONVERTIBLE LOAN~~

On November 13, 2013, the Company entered into a loan agreement (the “RCF Loan”) with Resource Capital Fund V L.P. (“RCF”), whereby RCF agreed, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the RCF Loan, to provide a secured convertible loan facility of up to $15.0 million to the Company, which was subsequently amended on April 29, 2014 to reduce the amount available thereunder from $15.0 million to $8.0 million. The Company exchanged $2.5 million in principal for shares of its common stock in December 2016 and repaid the $5.5 million outstanding balance under the RCF Loan on February 9, 2017. No further obligations remain under the RCF Loan following the repayment. In addition, on July 31, 2017, the Company and RCF terminated the Stockholders’ Agreement dated March 1, 2012, pursuant to which RCF had certain stock participation rights and Board rights.

As a result of the repayment, the Company recorded a loss of $39,000 on the extinguishment of debt which represented the difference between the principal amount of $5.5 million and the carrying value of the RCF Loan on the date of repayment.

On ~~January 19, 2017,~~December 4, 2020, the Company ~~completed~~entered into a ~~registered public offering~~Purchase Agreement with Lincoln Park (the “December 2020 PA”) to place up to $100.0 million in the aggregate of the Company's common stock on an ongoing basis over a term of 36 months. The Company controls the timing and amount of any sales to Lincoln Park, and Lincoln Park is obligated to make purchases in accordance with the December 2020 PA.

The agreement may be terminated by the Company at any time, in its sole discretion, without any additional cost or penalty.

10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

~~The~~Future operations on the Company’s ~~uranium recovery operations~~properties are subject to federal and state regulations for the protection of the environment, including air and water quality. ~~Future closure and reclamation costs are provided for as each pound of uranium is produced on a unit-of-production basis.~~ The Company ~~reviews its uranium reclamation obligations each year and determines the appropriate unit charge. The Company also~~ evaluates the status of current environmental laws and their potential impact on ~~their~~current operating costs and accrual for future costs. The Company believes its operations are materially compliant with current environmental regulations.

~~13. GEOGRAPHIC AND SEGMENT INFORMATION~~At any given time, the Company may enter into negotiations to settle outstanding legal proceedings and any resulting accruals will be estimated based on the relevant facts and circumstances applicable at that time. We do not expect that such settlements will, individually or in the aggregate, have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

11. LEASES

The Company’s lease portfolio consists of operating leases for corporate offices, storage space and equipment. The leases have remaining lease terms of 1.1 years to 1.8 years, one of which includes an option to extend the corporate office lease for 3 years. Under our corporate office lease, we are required to reimburse the lessor each month for common use expenses such as maintenance and security services. Because these amounts are variable from year to year and not specifically set in the lease terms, they are not included in the measurement of the right-of-use asset and related lease liability, but rather expensed in the period incurred.

The Company is party to several leases that have terms that are less than a year in length. These include leases for land used in exploration and mining activities, office equipment, machinery, office space, storage and other. The Company has elected the short-term lease exemption allowed under the new leasing standards, whereby leases with initial terms of one ~~reportable operating segment, consisting~~year or less are not capitalized and instead expensed on a straight-line basis over the lease term. In addition, the Company holds several leases related to mineral exploration and production to which it has not applied the new leasing standard. Leases to explore or use minerals and similar nonregenerative resources are specifically excluded by ASC 842, “Leases.”

The right-of-use assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities were recognized at the commencement date of the ~~exploration~~lease based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term using a discount rate of 9.5%.

This discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included herewith and the audited Consolidated Financial Statements of ~~WWR~~Westwater for the period ended December 31, ~~2016~~2020 and the related notes thereto filed with our Annual Report on Form 10-K, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including, but not limited to, those set forth elsewhere in this report. See “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking ~~Statements.”~~Statements” herein.

~~Introduction~~INTRODUCTION

~~WWR~~Westwater Resources, Inc. is a 44-year-old public company trading on the NYSE American Stock Exchange (“NYSE American”) focused on battery graphite development under the symbol “WWR.” Originally incorporated in 1977 as Uranium Resources, Inc. to mine uranium in Texas, our company pivoted to an energy ~~metals exploration and development company. We are~~materials developer. Westwater is focused on ~~expanding~~battery-grade graphite materials after its acquisition of Alabama Graphite Corp. (“Alabama Graphite”) and its Coosa Graphite Project (“Coosa Project”) in Alabama in April 2018. Combined with the anticipated construction of a battery graphite processing facility near Kellyton, Alabama, the Company is executing an exploration plan to further investigate the size and extent of mineral concentrations at Coosa graphite deposit, located near Rockford, Alabama, to increase our ~~energy metals strategy,~~knowledge of the deposit as a whole.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

Graphite Processing Pilot Programs

During the quarter ended September 30, 2021, the Company continued, and in October 2021 substantially completed, its pilot program at Dorfner Anzaplan’s facilities near Amberg, Germany, as well as at facilities in Frankfurt, Germany, Chicago, Illinois and Buffalo, New York. The combined effort at these facilities produced approximately 13 metric tonnes of Westwater’s three battery-grade graphite products: ULTRA-PMG™, ULTRA-CSPG™ and ULTRA-DEXDG™, which ~~includes developing our lithium business while maintaining optionality~~were previously produced at a bench scale.

As of September 30, Westwater had produced through the pilot program:

●

10.8 metric tonnes of ULTRA-PMG™ in six sizes (6, 8, 10, 15, 30 and 44 microns): Production is now complete, and samples will be packaged and shipped to a laboratory for testing.

●

2.0 metric tonnes of the precursor (Spherical Purified Graphite) for ULTRA-CSPG™ in three sizes (10, 18 and 24 microns): Production of this product is now complete and has been sent to a laboratory for pitch coating to make ULTRA-CSPG™, and test its electrical performance.

●

0.4 metric tonnes of ULTRA-DEXDG™: Production is now complete and samples were packaged and shipped to a laboratory for testing.

Westwater undertook its pilot program operations to inform and enhance design work for its commercial production facility and to produce products for testing by potential customers. The information from the pilot program was incorporated into the Definitive Feasibility Study (“DFS”).

Definitive Feasibility Study on the future rising uranium price with our significant uranium property holdings in the Republic of Turkey, Texas and New Mexico. Incorporated in 1977, WWR also owns an extensive information database of historic drill-hole logs, assay certificates, maps and technical reports for uranium properties located in the western United States.Coosa Graphite Project

We established our lithium business in 2016 and currently control mineral rights encompassing approximately 36,730 acres across three prospective lithium brine basins in Nevada and Utah. We are conducting exploration and geological evaluation of these properties in 2017 and 2018 for potential development of any lithium resources that may be discovered there.

The focus of our uranium business continues to be on advancing the Temrezli in-situ recovery (“ISR”) uranium project in central Turkey when uranium prices permit economic development of this project. We control extensive exploration properties in Turkey under eight exploration and operating licenses covering approximately 39,000 acres. In Texas, we have two licensed and currently idled uranium processing facilities and approximately 11,000 acres of prospective ISR uranium projects. In New Mexico,On October 11, 2021, the Company ~~controls mineral rights encompassing approximately 186,000 acres in the prolific Grants Mineral Belt, which is one of the largest concentrations of sandstone-hosted uranium deposits in the world.~~

~~Recent Developments~~

~~Change in Corporate Name~~

Effective August 21, 2017, the Company changed its name from “Uranium Resources, Inc.” to “Westwater Resources, Inc.” The name change was made pursuant to Section 242 of the Delaware General Corporation Law and did not affect the rights of the Company’s security holders.

~~Lithium Business Expansion~~

On June 20, 2017, the Company acquired its third lithium exploration project, through the staking of 9,270 acres of federal placer mining claims within the Railroad Valley of central Nevada. The Railroad Valley project is located approximately 75 miles west of Ely, Nevada.

~~Columbus Basin Data Review and Exploration Drilling~~

~~On April 5, 2017, the Company~~ announced that its independent geophysical consultant has completed the review, integration and reinterpretation of historical geophysical survey data acquired by the Company and covering its Columbus Basin lithium brine exploration project in Nevada. Among other things, the results of the ~~work indicated that~~DFS pertaining to Phase I of its Coosa Graphite Processing Facility (the “Project”). The Company intends to develop the ~~depth~~Project to purify natural graphite concentrates and to produce battery ready graphite products in two phases. The capital costs of Phase I of the ~~Columbus Salt Marsh basin~~Project are

●

Average Annual Pre-Tax Cash Flow (After the year 2024): $129 million

●

Project Pre-Tax Cash Flow: $3.7 billion

The Company intends to initiate a DFS for Phase II upon completion and commissioning of Phase I of the Project.

Approval of Construction of Phase I and Purchase of Industrial Space

On October ~~31, 2017, The Company announced that it has completed~~ 11, 2021,the Company’s Board of Directors approved estimated expenditures of $202 million to execute the construction and commissioning plan for Phase ~~1 exploration project at this project and reported the following results:~~

•

~~Three core holes were completed for a total~~I of ~~3,870 ft. of drilling.~~

~~The maximum drilled depth was 1,680 ft.~~

~~Fluids with high total dissolved solids (TDS) were identified in all three holes.~~

•

~~In-house laboratory work performed at its Kingsville, Texas facility returned lithium concentrations of up to 43 parts per million (ppm) and boron concentrations of up to 173 ppm.~~

~~Planning is underway for a Phase 2 exploration program at~~ the Project. ~~As part~~Construction related activities are expected to begin before the end of ~~the Phase 2 program, Westwater has filed a Notice of Intent to drill in the Nina claim block and is evaluating the Phase 1 results and the results of drilling by Caeneus Minerals Ltd.~~2021.

~~Sal Rica Exploration Planning~~

A brine sampling program at the Sal Rica Project was designed and implemented to infill previous shallow aquifer sampling completed by Mesa Exploration Corp. in 2016. The resultant combination of the new Westwater data and the existing Mesa Exploration Corp. data now provide shallow aquifer lithium concentration data on variable 1 to 2 mile centers, depending on site accessibility, across the entirety of the 13,260 acre project area.

In addition, on October 13, 2021 the Company completed the purchase of two buildings by its subsidiary, Alabama Graphite Products, LLC, that total 90,000 sq. ft. in size, to support the development of the Project. These buildings will be used for administrative offices, a laboratory, and warehousing space, and each are adjacent to the ~~recent groundwater sampling event,~~planned processing plant. The purchase of these two buildings avoids the need for certain construction activities.

Vanadium Target Identification

In late November 2018, Westwater ~~has also completed new geophysical interpretations~~announced the discovery of a concentration of vanadium mineralization at several locations in the graphitic schists at the Coosa Project. Westwater subsequently commenced the first of a four-phase exploration program designed to determine the extent, character and quality of the ~~Sal Rica Project area. This data is being integrated into a conceptual model~~vanadium mineralization at the Coosa Project. The first phase demonstrated widespread positive values for vanadium that extended beyond the graphite deposit, as defined in the 2015 Preliminary Economic Assessment for the site.

The second phase of the vanadium exploration ~~target,~~project began in April 2021 and ~~will guide~~is expected to continue throughout the ~~ongoing planning~~remainder of the year. Scope for this effort includes drilling various targets to expand the Company’s knowledge of the geology, examining the core and/or cuttings for mineral constituents, and adding to the existing geologic model. In addition, vanadium mineralization is expected to be evaluated using extractive metallurgy techniques to ascertain any economic potential.

Graphite and Vanadium Listed as Critical Materials

On February 24, 2021, the President signed an Executive Order that seeks to provide for more resilient supply chains to revitalize and rebuild domestic manufacturing capacity and maintain America’s competitive edge in research and development. Graphite and vanadium are specifically named as critical minerals in which the United States is heavily dependent on China for its supply.

The President’s declaration asked the Secretary of Energy, as part of larger study involving several branches of the United States government, to submit a ~~drilling~~report identifying risks to the supply chain for high-capacity batteries including those that power electric vehicles. On June 8, 2021, the White House released a response to the findings of this study in support of securing an end-to-end domestic supply chain for advanced batteries, including investment in domestic production and ~~hydrogeologic characterization program~~processing of critical minerals. Key recommendations in the June 8, 2021 release include, among other things, providing funding and financial incentives to ~~further expand~~encourage consumer adoption of electric vehicles, providing financing to support advanced battery production, and ~~define~~investing in the ~~shallow, lithium bearing, brine aquifer. So far this work has outlined a strong lithium brine anomaly~~development of next generation batteries. The February 2021 Executive Order and the key recommendations in the June 8, 2021 White House release, builds upon the prior Administration’s Executive Order issued on September 30, 2020, related to critical minerals, and could be important to Westwater’s plans to develop its battery graphite business in the United States.

Presently, the United States is almost 100% dependent on imports for battery-grade graphite, which is currently the primary anode material in the Lithium-Ion batteries that ~~covers an area~~power smartphones, laptops, electric vehicles, and store power generated from intermittent renewable energy sources. Westwater intends to develop the Coosa Project to supply natural flake graphite for beneficiation into battery-grade graphite for all types of ~~over twenty (20) square miles, with lithium values up to 100 ppm, all~~batteries.

~~Option Agreement for Lithium Brine Claims~~Ensure Safety

On March ~~24, 2017,~~11, 2020, the ~~Company’s wholly owned subsidiary Lithium Holdings Nevada LLC entered into an option agreement~~World Health Organization designated COVID-19 as a global pandemic. The pandemic spread outside of China during the first quarter of 2020 and has impacted businesses and economies throughout the world. In the U.S., many state and local governments have, based on local conditions, either recommended or mandated actions to ~~purchase a block~~slow the transmission of ~~unpatented placer mining claims covering an area~~COVID-19. These measures range from limitations on crowd size to masking to mandatory orders for non-essential citizens to test and quarantine. Borders between many countries have been closed to contain the spread of ~~approximately 3,000 acres within~~COVID-19. Uncertainty with respect to the ~~Columbus Salt Marsh area of Esmeralda County, Nevada. The claims adjoin a portion~~economic effects of the ~~Company’s current property holdings at its Columbus Basin Project, expanding~~pandemic has introduced significant volatility in the ~~project area within~~financial markets.

To the ~~basin~~extent that the COVID 19 pandemic continues or worsens, including by reason of the emergence of variant strains of the virus, local governments or governmental agencies may impose additional restrictions. The result of COVID 19 and those restrictions could result in a number of adverse impacts to ~~approximately 14,200 acres.~~Westwater’s business, including but not limited to additional disruption to the economy, additional work restrictions, and supply chains being interrupted, slowed, or rendered inoperable. As a result, it may be challenging to obtain and process raw materials to support business needs, and individuals could become ill, quarantined, or otherwise unable to work and/or travel due to health reasons or governmental restrictions. Governments may also impose other laws, regulations or taxes which could adversely impact Westwater’s business, financial condition or results of operations. The ~~Company~~potential effects of COVID 19 could also impact Westwater in a number of other ways including, but not limited to, laws and regulations affecting business, the availability of future borrowings, the cost of borrowings, and potential impairment of the carrying value of long-lived tangible assets.

This pandemic, and the uncertain economic conditions it has created, could adversely affect our operations, major facilities, or employees’ health. Westwater has the ~~right~~following priorities while managing business activities during this period of volatility and uncertainty:

●

First, to ensure the health and safety of our employees and the communities where they work.

●

Second, to work with our business partners to maintain the advanced graphite product development schedule in a safe and measured manner.

●

Third, to ensure the Company has access to adequate financial liquidity to support key operations and business activities.

Westwater’s corporate business activities are largely unaffected at this time by the COVID-19 pandemic. Prior to ~~conduct exploration activities~~March 1, 2021, Westwater reduced utilization of its offices and remote working arrangements were instituted to ensure that some employees were able to work remotely using systems that already were in place. On March 1, 2021, Westwater reopened its Centennial corporate facility and allowed employees to return to the office to work together with appropriate health protocols in place. Westwater’s continued focus on the ~~claims~~health and safety of employees, the safety of operations, and the safety of the communities in which our employees live and work remains paramount. To that end, Westwater has continued to restrict unnecessary travel, and ensured that employees are permitted to take time off due to illness or the illness of those around them without penalty.

Equity Financings

Capital Raises during three and nine months ended September 30, 2021

During the ~~one-year option period. Under the option agreement,~~three months ended September 30, 2021, the Company ~~may acquire the mineral property claims on or before March 24, 2018 in exchange for 200,000 shares of WWR common stock and a 1% net smelter return royalty on the claims.~~

~~Retirement of the RCF Loan~~

~~On February 9, 2017, the Company paid $5.5~~sold 1.1 million in cash, plus accrued and unpaid interest, to RCF to retire all of the obligations remaining under the RCF Loan, and thereafter, the loan agreement itself terminated pursuant to its terms. In addition, on July 31, 2017, the Company and RCF terminated the Stockholders’ Agreement dated March 1, 2012, pursuant to which RCF had certain stock participation rights and Board rights.

~~Common Stock Purchase Agreement with Aspire Capital~~

On September 25, 2017, the Company entered into the CSPA with Aspire Capital to place up to $22.0 million in the aggregate of the Company’s common stock on an ongoing basis when required by the Company over a term of 30 months. The Company will control the timing and amount of sales to Aspire Capital, and at a price based on market prices at that time. As consideration for Aspire Capital entering into the purchase agreement, the Company issued 880,000 shares of its common stock to Aspire Capital. The shares of common stock subject to the CSPA were registered pursuant to the Company’s effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3.

On September 27, 2017, as a provision of the CSPA and after satisfaction of certain commencement conditions, Aspire Capital made an initial purchase of 1,428,571 shares of common stock for which the Company received proceeds of $2.0 million. There were no other sales of common stock pursuant to the CSPA and as of November 9, 2017, $20.0 million of the aggregate $22.0 million remained available for future sales under the CSPA.

~~Controlled Equity Offering Sales Agreement~~

On April 14, 2017, the Company entered into the ATM Offering with Cantor acting as sales agent. Under the ATM Offering, the Company may from time to time sell shares of its common stock having an aggregate offering amount up to $30.0 million in “at-the-market” offerings, which shares are registered under a registration statement on Form S-3, which was declared effective on March 9, 2017. The Company pays Cantor a commission equal to 2.5% of the gross proceeds from the sale of any shares pursuant to the ATM Offering. As of November 9, 2017, the Company had sold 673,853 shares of common stock for net proceeds of ~~$1.1~~$4.0 million pursuant to the December 2020 PA entered into with Lincoln Park.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company received net proceeds of $81.9 million from its equity facilities, resulting in a cash balance of approximately $119.0 million at September 30, 2021. The significant treasury balance has mitigated the Company’s capital risk through 2021 and 2022 as the Company’s budgeted pilot program for processing battery-grade graphite and the remaining budgeted product development costs are now fully funded. The Company anticipates making a substantial initial investment in the Project in the fourth quarter of 2021.

Transfer of Common Stock Listing to the NYSE American Stock Exchange

On March 8, 2021, the Company, acting pursuant to authorization from its Board of Directors, determined to voluntarily withdraw the listing of the Company's common stock, par value $0.001 per share, from The Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) and transfer the listing to the NYSE American. The Company informed Nasdaq on March 8, 2021, of its intent to transfer the listing of its common stock to the NYSE American. The Company’s listing and trading of its common stock on Nasdaq ended at market close on March 18, 2021, and trading began on the NYSE American on March 19, 2021. The Company’s common stock continues to trade under the ~~ATM Offering. As a result, the Company had approximately $28.9 million remaining available for future sales under the ATM Offering.~~

~~Other Offerings~~

On January 19, 2017, the Company raised $8.9 million in net proceeds through the registered sale of approximately 1.4 million shares of common stock and pre-funded warrants to purchase approximately 3.4 million shares of common stock at $0.01 per share.

General and administrative expenses for the three ~~months ended September 30, 2017, general~~ and administrative charges decreased by $0.2 million as compared with the corresponding period in 2016. This decrease was primarily due to decreases in salaries expense and stock compensation expense of $0.3 million, which was partially offset by an increase in legal, accounting and public company expenses of $0.1 million.

~~For the~~ nine months ended September 30, ~~2017, general~~2021, increased by $0.3 million and ~~administrative charges decreased by~~ $1.1 million ~~as compared with~~from the ~~corresponding period~~same periods in ~~2016.

~~Gain on Disposal of Uranium Properties~~

On January 5, 2017, we completed the sale of our wholly-owned subsidiary HRI, which holds the Churchrock and Crownpoint projects, to Laramide pursuant to the Laramide SPA. Under the terms of the Laramide SPA, executed on April 7, 2016 and amended on December 5, 2016, we received the following consideration:

•
~~$2.5 million in cash, of which $0.25 million was paid on October 21, 2016;~~

•
2,218,333 shares of Laramide common stock and 2,218,333 Laramide common stock purchase warrants. Each common stock purchase warrant entitles the Company to purchase one share of common stock of Laramide at a price of CDN$0.45 for a period of 60 months from the date of closing;
•
a $5.0 million promissory note, secured by a mortgage over the projects. The note has a three-year term and carries an initial interest rate of 5% which then increases to 10% upon Laramide’s decision regarding commercial production at the Churchrock project. Principal payments of $1.5 million are due and payable on January 5 in each of 2018 and 2019, with the balance of $2.0 million due and payable on January 5, 2020. Interest is payable on a quarterly basis, provided however that no interest will be payable until March 31, 2018. Laramide will have the right to satisfy up to half of each of these payments by delivering shares of its common stock to the Company, which shares will be valued by reference to the VWAP for Laramide’s common stock for the 20 trading days before the respective anniversary of January 5, on which each payment is due;
•
~~a retained 4.0% NSR Royalty on the Churchrock project, which royalty may be repurchased by Laramide by January 5, 2018 for $4.95 million; and~~

•
an option to purchase Laramide’s La Sal project for $3.0 million and an option to purchase its La Jara Mesa project for $5.0 million, both of which expire on January 5, 2018. Any such exercise by the Company will first result in a reduction of the principal amount due under the promissory note with any remaining portions of the purchase to be paid in cash by the Company.
The divestiture of HRI was accounted for as an asset disposal and the non-cash consideration received from Laramide was recorded at fair value. The fair value of the shares of Laramide common stock received was determined using the closing share price of Laramide’s stock on January 5, 2017. The fair value of the common stock purchase warrants was determined using the Black-Scholes method on April 27, 2017, which was the date that Laramide’s stockholders approved the issuance of the warrants. The fair value of the notes receivable was determined using the present value of the future cash receipts discounted at a market rate of 9.5%. We did not record a separate fair value for the options as the exercise of the options would reduce the amount outstanding under the notes receivable. Due to the high degree of uncertainties surrounding future mine development and minerals prices, as well as limited marketability, the Company determined the fair value of the NSR Royalty to be nil.

~~Financial Position~~
~~Operating~~Financing Activities
Net cash ~~used in operating~~provided by financing activities was ~~$8.9~~$81.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, ~~2017, as compared~~2021, due to sales of common stock through the Company’s ATM Offering Agreement with ~~$9.8 million~~Cantor and the Company’s December 2020 PA with Lincoln Park. Net cash provided by financing activities for the same period in ~~2016.~~2020 was $13.9 million.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company last recorded revenues from operations in 2009. Since 2009, the Company has relied on equity financings, debt financings and asset sales to fund its operations. The Company expects to rely on debt and equity financing to fund its operations for the foreseeable future.
In 2016, the Company began to expand its business plan into acquisition and development of energy-related materials. First, in 2016 the Company obtained lithium mineral leases in Nevada and Utah as an exploration opportunity. Then, in 2018 the Company acquired Alabama Graphite Corp. and its Coosa Graphite Project in Alabama for the purpose of developing a commercial sized graphite mineral deposit and processing the flake graphite into advanced graphite products for use in batteries. In the third quarter of 2020, the Company executed the strategic decision to focus its resources on the graphite business in Alabama, discontinuing its investment in its lithium mineral properties and selling its uranium business, located in Texas and New Mexico, to enCore. As discussed in Note 3, the sale to enCore closed on December 31, 2020, and included the elimination of a $9.3 million bonding liability, the elimination of $5.2 million in asset retirement obligations, and the elimination of more than $4.0 million in annual expenditures related to reclamation and compliance

costs. The Company received approximately $1.8 million of enCore common stock and retained royalty interests on the New Mexico uranium properties as consideration for the sale. The Company retained its uranium interests in Turkey, which are subject to ongoing international arbitration proceedings, in which the Company is seeking damages.

During the first nine months of 2021, the Company focused on graphite process development activities including operation of a pilot program for processing flake graphite into battery-grade graphite products and a DFS on Phase I of the Coosa Graphite Project. The data generated and experience gained from the pilot program was used to inform the Phase I DFS that was completed in October 2021 and will also inform the requirements and specifications for building a commercial graphite processing facility.

On September 30, 2021, the Company’s cash ~~used is mostly due to a decrease in interest expense of $0.3 million, an increase in interest income of $0.4 million and an aggregated decrease in operating expenses of $0.3~~balance was approximately $119.0 million.

~~Investing Activities~~

~~Net cash provided by investing activities was $1.9 million for~~ During the nine months ended September 30, ~~2017, as compared with $0.3~~2021, the Company sold 9.3 million for the same period in 2016. For the 2017 period, we received $2.0 million, net of expenses, from the sale of our wholly-owned subsidiary, HRI to Laramide which closed on January 5, 2017. For the 2016 period, we received $0.2 million from the sale of short-term investments.

~~Financing Activities~~

Net cash provided by financing activities was $10.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, net cash proceeds of $15.4 million were received upon equity financings completed in January, February and September 2017, respectively. Additionally, $1.0 million was received from the saleshares of common stock ~~sold through the Company’s ATM Offering. This increase was offset by the repayment of $5.5 million outstanding under the RCF Loan.~~

Net cash provided by financing activities was $12.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, net cash proceeds of $0.8 million and $1.2 million were received upon equity financings completed on February 4, 2016 and April 4, 2016, respectively. $4.7 million in net proceeds were received from the sale of common stock to Aspire Capital under the terms of the 2016 Common Stock Purchase Agreement and $5.8 million in net proceeds were received from the sale of common stock sold through the Company’s prior ATM program with BTIG.

~~Liquidity and Capital Resources~~

At September 30, 2017, the Company had working capital of $8.2 million, which along with the anticipated funding from the financing agreements described below is expected to provide it with the necessary liquidity through September 30, 2018. At December 31, 2016, the Company had a working capital deficit of $4.2 million. The increase in working capital of $12.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was primarily due to the following:

•

~~the completion of three equity offerings in January 2017, February 2017 and September 2017~~ for net proceeds of ~~$8.9~~$47.3 million ~~$4.5~~pursuant to its Controlled Equity Offering^SM Sales Agreement with Cantor and 6.1 million ~~and $2.0 million respectively, as further described under “Recent Developments”;~~

~~Common Stock Purchase Agreement~~

On September 25, 2017, the Company entered into a CSPA with Aspire Capital to place up to $22.0 million in the aggregate of its common stock over a term of 30 months. Upon execution of the CSPA, the Company issued 880,000 shares of common stock to Aspire Capital as a commitment fee. The Company cannot sell in excess of 5,033,677 shares of common stock, the Exchange Cap, including the 880,000 commitment shares, unless (i) stockholder approval is obtained, or (ii) the average price paid for all shares issued under the CSPA (including the 880,000 commitment shares) is equal to or greater than $1.38.

While the Company has been successful in the past in raising funds through equity and debt financings as well as through the sale of non-core assets, no assurance can be given that additional financing will be available ~~to it~~ in amounts sufficient to meet ~~the Company’s~~its needs, or on terms acceptable to the Company. Stock price volatility and uncertain economic conditions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, including the recent emergence of variant strains of the virus, could significantly impact the Company’s ability to raise funds through equity financing. Market conditions, including but not limited to, inflation and supply chain disruptions could adversely impact the planned cost of the Company’s commercial graphite processing facility. Along with evaluating the continued use of the Cantor and Lincoln Park financing facilities, the Company may consider project financing to fund the construction of the Project. The alternative sources of project financing could include, but are not limited to, convertible debt or pursuing a partnership or joint venture.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Information regarding reportable legal proceedings is contained in Part I, Item ~~3.,~~3, “Legal Proceedings,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2016. The following disclosure updates~~2020. There have been no material changes to the legal ~~proceeding~~proceedings previously disclosed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K, other than as set forth ~~under~~below.

On December 13, 2018, Westwater filed a Request for Arbitration against the ~~headings “Dispute Over Kleberg Settlement Agreement” and “TCEQ Adjudicatory Proceeding~~Republic of Turkey before the International Centre for the ~~Kingsville Facility”~~Settlement of Investment Disputes (“ICSID”), pursuant to the Treaty between the United States of America and the Republic of Turkey concerning the Reciprocal Encouragement and Protection of Investments. The Request for Arbitration was filed as a result of the Republic of Turkey’s unlawful actions against the Company’s licenses for the Temrezli and Sefaatli uranium projects owned by Westwater’s Turkish subsidiary Adur Madencilik Limited Sirketi (“Adur”). Specifically, in June 2018, the ~~2016 Form 10-K~~Turkish government cancelled all of Adur’s exploration and operating licenses with retroactive effect, rendering Westwater’s investment in Adur effectively worthless. While the Turkish authorities had variously issued, renewed and overseen these licenses for more than a decade, in June 2018 they asserted that those licenses were issued by mistake and that the Turkish government has a governmental monopoly over all uranium mining activities in Turkey, in violation of Westwater’s rights under both Turkish and international law. Westwater reached out on numerous occasions to ~~reflect developments~~the Turkish government to resolve this dispute amicably, to reinstate the licenses and to remedy Turkey’s unlawful actions, but to no avail.

As a result, on December 13, 2018, Westwater filed before ICSID its arbitration request against the Republic of Turkey. On December 21, 2018, ICSID registered Westwater’s Request for Arbitration. On May 1, 2019, the three-member ICSID Panel for the arbitration was established – one of the panel members was selected by Westwater, another was selected by Turkey, and the third panel member (serving as the Chair) was selected by the two party-appointed arbitrators. On September 9, 2019, the ICSID Panel issued Procedural Order #1, which places the locale for the proceeding in Washington, DC, and sets numerous dates for both parties to make various filings.

On January 27, 2020, Westwater filed its Memorial, which is a document that sets out Westwater’s case. On March 11, 2020, Turkey filed a request to bifurcate the arbitration proceeding, and on March 30, 2020, Westwater filed a response in opposition to Turkey's request for bifurcation. In Procedural Order #2 issued on April 28, 2020, the arbitral tribunal denied Turkey’s bifurcation request. On May 13, 2020, Turkey filed with the arbitral tribunal a request which Westwater elected not to oppose, to extend the date on which their Counter-Memorial must be filed (and to change dates for subsequent pleadings as well as document production and witness identification deadlines), which the arbitral tribunal approved on June 3, 2020. As a result of these decisions by the tribunal, Turkey filed its Counter-Memorial on September 14, 2020. Westwater filed its reply to the Counter-Memorial on March 17, 2021. The hearing on the substantive issues was conducted during the ~~nine months ended~~week of September ~~30, 2017 and should be read together with the corresponding disclosure in the 2016 Form 10-K.~~

~~Dispute Over Kleberg Settlement Agreement~~

Following the submittal of all the briefs by both parties, on June 23, 2017, the Texas Supreme Court granted the Petition for Review. On October 12, 2017 the Texas Supreme Court held an oral argument.13-17, 2021. The Company ~~has no indication as to when or how the Texas Supreme Court will rule~~does not expect a formal ruling on the ~~matter.~~

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

~~Other than as set forth below, there have been no material changes from those risk factors set forth~~See RISK FACTORS in ~~our Annual Report on~~Item 1A of the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2016.~~2020 (“Form 10-K”) for a discussion of the risk factors of the Company. Except as described below, there have been no material changes to these risk factors from those previously disclosed in the Form 10-K.

~~Our foreign operations subject us to a number~~

The Company may incur unexpected costs or delays in the construction of the Coosa Graphite Project production facility.

The Company is in the process of developing and anticipates commencing construction of the Coosa Graphite Project’s production facility in the fourth quarter 2021. The completion of the Coosa Graphite Project’s production facility without delays or significant ~~regulatory, legal and political~~cost overruns involves substantial risks that may ~~have a material~~occur, including the accuracy of the estimates and findings in the Definitive Feasibility Study; successful negotiation of construction contracts; challenges with managing contractors and vendors; subcontractor performance; adverse ~~impact on our prospects, projects, financial condition~~weather conditions and ~~results~~natural disasters; contractor and/or vendor delays; increased costs, shortages, or inconsistent quality of ~~operations.~~

~~Our acquisition of Anatolia Energy significantly increased the importance of foreign operations~~equipment, materials, and labor; delays due to ~~our future prospects and growth, and our foreign operations expose us to a number of risks. These risks include such things as:~~

•
~~enforcement of unfamiliar~~judicial or ~~uncertain foreign real estate, mineral tenure, contract, water use, mine safety and environmental laws and policies;~~

•
~~challenges to mining, processing and related permits and licenses, or to applications for permits and licenses, by or on behalf of~~ regulatory ~~authorities, indigenous populations, non-governmental organizations~~action; nonperformance under construction or other ~~third parties;~~agreements; engineering or design problems; negative impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic or future pandemic health events; work stoppages; continued public and policymaker support for the project; environmental and geological conditions; and challenges with start-up activities and operational performance. Additionally, the Coosa Graphite Project’s production facility includes the Company’s improved method for purification of graphite concentrate and is a design process that has not previously been constructed.
•
~~war, crime, terrorism, sabotage, civil unrest and uncertain political and economic environments;~~

•
~~deterioration in relations between the United States and the foreign jurisdictions in which we operate;~~

•
~~renegotiation, nullification or forced modification of existing contracts, licenses, permits, approvals, concessions or the like;~~

•
~~corruption;~~

•
~~challenges in overseeing employees and contractors, including the risk that our employees and independent contractors may engage in unauthorized or illegal activity;~~

•
~~exchange and currency controls and fluctuations;~~

•
~~limitations on foreign exchange and repatriation of earnings;~~

•
~~restrictions on mineral production and price controls;~~

•
~~seizure of mineral production and expropriation or nationalization of property;~~

•
~~changes in legislation, including changes related to taxation, new or increased mining royalty interests, import and export regulations, foreign ownership, foreign trade and foreign investment;~~

•
~~high rates of inflation; and~~

•
~~labor practices and disputes.~~
For example, during October 2017, the United States and the Republic of Turkey each suspended all non-immigrant visa services for travel between the two countries following the arrest of U.S. consular staff in Turkey. The uncertainty surrounding the political and economic relationship between the United States and Turkey and the suspension of non-immigrant visas between the two countries could adversely affect our ability to operate in Turkey.
In addition, we face the numerous risks as a new acquirer that our expectations may not be realized and that we may encounter unexpected problems. We continue to review Anatolia Energy’s operations in Turkey, including compliance with local laws and applicable permitting requirements. In the event we determine material noncompliance, we could face fines or restrictions on our ability to develop our projects in Turkey, which could have a material adverse effect on our prospects, projects, financial condition and results of operations.
Further, regulatory, permitting and business arrangements in foreign jurisdictions are subject to extensive laws and regulations intended to prevent improper payments, fraud, kickbacks, self-dealing and other abusive practices. These laws and regulations may restrict or prohibit a wide range of business arrangements that are commonplace in such foreign jurisdictions, and violations of such laws and regulations could result in regulatory sanctions and serious harm to our reputation. We have adopted a code of business conduct and ethics, but it is not always possible to identify and deter misconduct, and the precautions we take to detect and prevent this activity may not be effective in controlling unknown or unmanaged risks or losses or in protecting us from governmental investigations or other actions or lawsuits stemming from a failure to be in compliance with such laws or regulations. If any such actions are instituted against us, and we are not successful in defending ourselves, those actions could have a significant impact on our business, including the imposition of significant civil, criminal and administrative penalties.
