It begs the questions "Why has Westwater Resources bought all the remaining water rights for the Columbus Salt Marsh?"
And...
Also "Did Westwater Resources find definitive information on Lithium Brine in the historical data that they purchased from the prior mining / drilling companies on their Columbus Salt Marsh property?"...

We will just have to wait and see...

Westwater Resources Announces Acquisition of Water Rights for its Columbus Basin Project in Nevada

Aug 22, 2017

CENTENNIAL, Colo., August 22, 2017 – Westwater Resources, Inc. (Nasdaq: WWR; ASX: URI), an energy metals exploration and development company, is pleased to announce that it has received two groundwater appropriation permits for its Columbus Basin Project in Nevada. A total of 1,528 acre-feet of groundwater was approved by the Nevada Department of Conservation and Natural Resources for Westwater’s development and use in lithium mining operations.

Christopher M. Jones, President and Chief Executive Officer, said,

“Water rights are critical to the development of lithium brine properties – and we have secured all of the remaining groundwater in the Columbus Basin. This acquisition sets Westwater apart from most of our competitors in Nevada. Owning the right to use the ground water materially differentiates our exploration plays from the other developers in the area going forward.”

The right to use water is very important in the dry American West.

Nevada has a robust legal regime for allocating the right to use water, and Westwater used the regulatory process to secure the groundwater required to develop any lithium resources discovered in the basin.

Exploration drilling at the Columbus Basin Project is underway, with results expected in the fourth quarter of 2017.
