Westwater Resources Announces Transfer to the NYSE American Stock Exchange

Ticker to Remain “WWR”

CENTENNIAL, Colo.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–$WWR #NYSEWestwater Resources, Inc. (“Westwater”) (NASDAQ: WWR), a battery graphite development company, announced today that it will change its listing from the Nasdaq Capital Market to the NYSE American stock exchange on March 19, 2021.

Christopher M. Jones, President and Chief Executive Officer of Westwater, said, “The New York Stock Exchange has been trading stocks for over 225 years and is the global leader in listings for a range of sectors, including technology and energy. As our company continues to grow, we want to see our shareholders benefit from this historic and prestigious platform. This is an exciting time for Westwater.”

With recent announcements by global automobile and battery makers, including a major announcement by General Motors (March 4, 2021) that they are looking to build a second battery factory in the United States, electric vehicles and the batteries that power them are a growing market. Westwater’s planned battery graphite business is well timed to take advantage of these markets in the United States and abroad.

The last day of trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market is expected to be March 18, 2021. Westwater’s common stock will continue to trade under its existing “WWR” symbol.
