Westwater Resources rejects unsolicited proposal from Idaho Strategic Resources
WESTWATER RESOURCES, INC.
- Westwater received unsolicited proposal from Idaho Strategic Resources (IDR) on Dec 15, 2022.
- Board and management determined on Dec 19, 2022 not to pursue the proposal as not in best interests.
- IDR had cash on hand net of liabilities less than $1 million as of Sep 30, 2022, per Westwater.
- Westwater's Kellyton Plant Phase I construction cost estimated at ~$202M; ~$50M incurred; ~$100M cash on hand.
- Westwater believes proposal lacks synergies and is an opportunistic attempt to use its cash committed to Kellyton.
