CENTENNIAL, Colo., March 26, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Westwater Resources, Inc. (Nasdaq:WWR) (“WWR” or “Westwater”) is pleased to announce that, on March 23, 2018, the Supreme Court of the State of Texas issued a unanimous (8-0) decision favorable to Westwater in its long-running lawsuit between a Westwater subsidiary, URI, Inc., and Kleberg County, Texas. The lawsuit involved a post-mining restoration standard, as reflected in a 2004 settlement agreement between URI, Inc. and Kleberg County, for one specific water well (out of a total of 39 wells) at URI’s Kingsville project. Kleberg County argued that only baseline data taken in 1985 should be used to determine the clean-up standard for the well, which showed that the water in the specific well was allegedly suitable for agricultural irrigation purposes prior to the start of mining. URI argued that baseline data taken in both 1985 and 1987 should be used to determine the clean-up standard for the well, and that averaging the two data sets showed no suitable use prior to the start of mining. The Supreme Court ruled in complete favor of URI and denied Kleberg County any further relief.
