Cautionary Statement

This news release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning
of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking
statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions and are
identified by words such as “expects,” “estimates,” “projects,”
“anticipates,” “believes,” “could,” and other similar words. All
statements addressing events or developments that WWR expects or
anticipates will occur in the future, including but not limited to the
future demand for and price of graphite, lithium, vanadium and uranium,
the Company’s growth, developments at the Company’s projects, and the
Company’s liquidity and cash demands, including future capital markets
financing and disposition activities, are forward-looking statements.
Because they are forward-looking, they should be evaluated in light of
important risk factors and uncertainties. These risk factors and
uncertainties include, but are not limited to, (a) the Company’s ability
to successfully integrate Alabama Graphite Corporation’s business into
its own, and the risk that additional analysis of the Coosa Graphite
Project may result in revisions to the findings of WWR’s initial
optimization study; (b) the Company’s ability to raise additional
capital in the future; (c) spot price and long-term contract price of
graphite, lithium, vanadium and uranium; (d) risks associated with our
domestic operations; (e) operating conditions at the Company’s projects;
(f) government and tribal regulation of the graphite industry, the
lithium industry, the vanadium industry, the uranium industry, and the
power industry; (g) world-wide graphite, lithium, vanadium and uranium
supply and demand, including the supply and demand for lithium-based
batteries; (h) maintaining sufficient financial assurance in the form of
sufficiently collateralized surety instruments; (i) unanticipated
geological, processing, regulatory and legal or other problems the
Company may encounter in the jurisdictions where the Company operates or
intends to operate, including in Alabama, Texas, New Mexico, Utah, and
Nevada; (j) the ability of the Company to enter into and successfully
close acquisitions or other material transactions; (k) the results of
the Company’s lithium brine exploration activities at the Columbus
Basin, Railroad Valley, and Sal Rica projects, and the possibility that
future exploration results may be materially less promising than initial
exploration results; (I) any graphite, lithium, vanadium or uranium
discoveries not being in high-enough concentration to make it economic
to extract the metals; (m) currently pending or new litigation or
arbitration; and (n) other factors which are more fully described in the
Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q,
and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Should
one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize or should any of
the Company’s underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may
vary materially from those currently anticipated. In addition, undue
reliance should not be placed on the Company’s forward-looking
statements. Except as required by law, the Company disclaims any
obligation to update or publicly announce any revisions to any of the
forward-looking statements contained in this news release. The results
of the initial optimization study are preliminary in nature and subject
to revision following WWR’s further analysis of the Coosa Graphite
Project.
