Westwater Resources Common Stock Begins Trading on the NYSE American Stock Exchange
Westwater Resources Inc. ("Westwater") (NYSE: WWR), a battery graphite development company, announced that its common stock will begin trading on the NYSE American stock exchange today, March 19, 2021. The Company's ticker symbol - WWR - remains the same.
"Listing on the NYSE American is a significant milestone for Westwater and a natural next step in the evolution of our company," said Christopher M. Jones, President and Chief Executive Officer of Westwater Resources. "With the current surge in global interest in mineral investments, we believe this is an excellent time for our NYSE American listing, and our team looks forward to introducing Westwater to a new and larger investment base. Our board and management are very pleased to have Brendan E. Cryan & Co. LLC as our specialist firm. They have been specialists for over 60 years."
With recent announcements by global automobile and battery makers, including a major announcement by General Motors (March 4, 2021) that GM is 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 battery graphite business is well timed to take advantage of these markets, both domestic and international.
