Flake Graphite

What It Is

Natural Flake Graphite is the raw material used to produce battery-grade graphite anode material. It is a high-carbon crystalline form of graphite mined from geologic deposits and serves as the starting point for the production of engineered graphite materials used in lithium-ion batteries.

Westwater’s flake graphite is sourced from the Coosa Graphite Deposit in Alabama, supporting a vertically integrated, domestic supply chain from resource to finished product.

Why It Matters

Natural flake graphite is valued for its ability to be processed into high-purity spherical graphite suitable for battery applications. The quality and consistency of this feedstock directly influence downstream processing performance and the final specifications of battery-grade graphite materials.

Westwater expects to produce flake graphite across a range of sizes, typically from +100 mesh to -100 mesh, supporting both battery material processing and a range of industrial applications.

How It Supports Battery Materials

Westwater focuses on securing and advancing domestic natural flake graphite resources to support long-term feedstock requirements for battery materials. Through detailed raw material characterization and quality-driven resource development, the Company is establishing a reliable foundation for consistent downstream graphite processing.

Building Domestic Supply

Natural flake graphite represents the first stage in the graphite value chain. By integrating resource development with processing capability, Westwater is strengthening a supply chain that has historically relied on imports, reinforcing the development of a secure domestic graphite platform in the United States.
