Kellyton Graphite Plant

U.S. Processing for Battery-Grade Graphite

Located in east-central Alabama, the Kellyton Graphite Plant is being developed to process natural flake graphite into Coated Spherical Purified Graphite (CSPG) — the active anode material used in lithium-ion batteries.

The facility represents the downstream component of Westwater’s vertically integrated mine-to-market strategy and is designed to establish domestic production of battery-grade natural graphite in the United States.

Engineered Graphite Processing

The Kellyton Graphite Plant is designed to convert natural flake graphite into Coated Spherical Purified Graphite (CSPG) through a multi-step processing sequence that includes milling and shaping, purification, spheronization, and coating. CSPG is engineered to meet the performance requirements of modern lithium-ion battery anodes, influencing key characteristics such as energy density, charge efficiency, and cycle life. Westwater’s purification process is designed to avoid the use of hydrofluoric acid, supporting environmental objectives while producing high-performance battery-grade material.

Timeline

Integrated Supply Vision

While Kellyton is prioritized as the near-term production asset, the facility is designed to integrate future feedstock from the Coosa Graphite Deposit, strengthening domestic supply continuity and operational visibility across the value chain.

Together, Coosa and Kellyton represent a strategic infrastructure platform intended to establish secure, U.S.-based production of battery-grade natural graphite.
