enCore Energy Announces High Uranium Extraction Rates in South Texas; Commends Texas for Energizing its Nuclear Energy Strategy with Passage of Three Key Bills
DALLAS, June 26, 2025 /CNW/ - enCore Energy Corp. (NASDAQ: EU) (TSXV: EU) (the " Company" or " enCore"), America's Clean Energy Company™, announced today record uranium extraction rates from the Alta Mesa In-Situ Recovery ("ISR") Uranium Central Processing Plant ("CPP") since commencing operations in June 2024. Recent management changes and operational efficiencies have worked to expand uranium extraction and decrease costs. The Company also commends the State of Texas for the passage of legislation this session which provides a framework to promote nuclear energy in Texas, including streamlining the already efficient uranium recovery permitting process. Alta Mesa Project operational highlights include: Uranium capture of the most recent seven days, ending June 23, in excess of 3,000 pounds per day, peaking at 3,705 pounds on June 20, 2025; Uranium capture for the first 22 days of June 2025 average 2,410 pounds of uranium per day for a total of 53,022 pounds; Uranium capture for the month of May 2025 was an average of 2,103 pounds per day; April 2025 uranium capture was an average of 1,942 pounds per day. Wellfield development at the Alta Mesa Project's Wellfield 7 continues to expand with the addition of 28 wells: 13 extraction wells and 15 injection wells. This is part of the ongoing ramp up strategy to advance wellfield expansion every 4 to 5 weeks. Wellfield development continues at a consistently accelerated rate with a total of 24 drill rigs in operation across the South Texas operations: 14 drill rigs dedicated to wellfield installation and advancement of the Alta Mesa Project Wellfield 7; 5 drill rigs dedicated to the Alta Mesa Project Wellfield 3-Ext, focused on installing monitor and baseline wells; 1 drill rig dedicated to the Alta Mesa Project Wellfield 6 re-development; and 4 drill rigs dedicated to wellfield development at the Upper Spring Creek Project, which is slated to provide satellite feed for the Rosita CPP in 2026. William M. Sheriff, Executive Chairman of enCore Energy, stated: "The continued improvements in our rate of uranium extraction and advancement of wellfield development are truly a result of a top performing team focused on extraction and streamlined operations. We have always recognized the depth of experience and strength of our team, and their expertise is being clearly demonstrated during this ongoing ramp up phase. I also want to take this opportunity to commend the Texas Legislature for the passage of bills, and Governor Abbott for signing the legislation, which streamlined the permitting process for production area development and waste disposal wells." About the Alta Mesa Uranium CPP and Wellfield ("Alta Mesa Uranium Project") The Alta Mesa Uranium Project hosts a fully licensed and constructed ISR Central Processing Plant and operational wellfield located on 200,000+ acres of private land and mineral rights in and regulated by the state of Texas. Total operating capacity at the Alta Mesa CPP is 1.5 million pounds. uranium per year with additional drying capacity of 0.5 million pounds. The Alta Mesa Uranium Project operates under a 70/30 joint venture with Boss Energy Limited (ASX: BOE; OTCQX: BQSSF) that is managed by the Company. The Alta Mesa CPP historically produced nearly 5 million pounds. of uranium between 2005 and 2013 when production was curtailed as a result of low prices. The Alta Mesa Uranium Project utilizes well known ISR technology to extract uranium in a non-invasive process using natural groundwater and oxygen. Currently, oxygenated water is being circulated in the wellfield through injection or extraction wells plumbed directly into the primary pipelines feeding the Alta Mesa CPP. Expansion of the wellfield will continue, with extraction to steadily increase from the wellfield as expansion continues through 2025 and beyond. About the Rosita ISR Uranium Central Processing Plant ("Rosita CPP") The Rosita CPP can receive uranium-loaded resin from remote project areas across the South Texas region through a network of Satellite IX Plants. These Satellite IX Plants, located near wellfields, are a key component of the ISR uranium extraction process. A lixiviant, consisting of groundwater mixed with oxygen and sodium bicarbonate, is injected into the wellfield using ISR technology, where it dissolves uranium from the underground sandstone. The uranium-bearing solution is then pumped to the surface and directed through the IX columns at the nearby Satellite IX Plant, where uranium is absorbed onto resin beads. The uranium-loaded resin is then transported to the Rosita CPP, where the uranium is removed from the resin and processed into yellowcake. Once processed, the resin is recycled and trucked back to the Satellite IX Plants for reuse. These modular, efficient, and relocatable IX Plants allow for cost-effective operation across multiple sites without the need to construct full processing facilities at each location, and they can be relocated once a wellfield is depleted. About the Upper Spring Creek ISR Uranium Project The 100% Company-owned Upper Spring Creek ISR Project (the "Project") is a planned Satellite IX Plant operation for the Rosita CPP. The Project consists of several future potential production units within the historic Clay West uranium district. Upper Spring Creek was previously held by Signal Equities LLC, who previously licensed and permitted the property as an ISR uranium project, maintaining the aquifer exemption and ceased work following continued low uranium spot prices. In December 2020, the Company acquired the Project. The uranium mineralized sands that are associated with the project area lie within the Oakville Formation. These historic uranium producing sands stretch across an area of approximately 120 miles long by approximately 20 miles wide in South Texas. The uranium mineralized ore body at the Upper Spring Creek Project occurs at depths typically between 300 and 450 feet from surface. John M. Seeley, Ph.D., P.G., C.P.G., enCore's Chief Geologist, and a Qualified Person under NI 43-101 and Regulation S-K subpart 1300 of the Exchange Act of 1933 as amended, has reviewed and approved the technical disclosure in this news release on behalf of the Company.

enCore Energy Receives Radioactive Materials License for Upper Spring Creek ISR Uranium Project, South Texas; Commences Construction
DALLAS, May 29, 2025 /CNW/ - enCore Energy Corp. (NASDAQ:EU| TSXV: EU) (the "Company" or "enCore"), America's Clean Energy Company TM, today announced the approval for the inclusion of the Upper Spring Creek In-Situ Recovery ("ISR") Uranium Project (the "Project") in the existing Radioactive Materials License ("RML") from the TCEQ (Texas Commission on Environmental Quality). This license allows enCore to handle radioactive materials, which includes the final product, U 3 O 8 ("uranium"). The current RML includes the Rosita Uranium Project, which has now been extended to cover the Upper Spring Creek Project's Brown Area. The RML allows the construction of wellfields and a Satellite Ion Exchange ("IX") Plant to commence, which will feed the Rosita ISR Uranium Central Processing Plant ("CPP"). These Satellite IX Plants, located adjacent to wellfields, are a key part of the satellite ISR process; they are modular, efficient, and relocatable, allowing for cost-effective uranium extraction across multiple remote sites which can be moved once a wellfield is depleted. The RML is scheduled for renewal in 2032, provided the Project's operation remains in compliance. The RML provides safety, material handling, record keeping and reporting protocols. William M. Sheriff, Executive Chairman of enCore Energy stated: "The receipt of the RML, allowing enCore to build its next remote Satellite Ion Exchange Plant and wellfield in a timely manner from application, is a testament to the efficiency of the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality. The ability to operate and issue these critical permits under authority of being an Agreement State in conjunction with the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission is a clear competitive advantage for enCore. This is our third permitted facility in Texas with each of our preceding permits having been granted in 20 months or less. The Upper Spring Creek Project brings important uranium mineralization into the operations of the Company, and we look forward to recovering (capturing) increasing amounts of uranium from late this year into 2026. On behalf of the Board, I want to thank our dedicated team for bringing this project to the point of permit application and issuance. We have the utmost confidence in them completing the new construction in the coming months." enCore has commenced advancement of the Project with drill rigs moving to site to begin development of the production wellfield; enCore previously began staging equipment in anticipation of receiving this approval. Construction activities will include surface preparation, well construction, road construction and installation of support facilities and utilities. The construction of the Satellite IX Plant concrete pad is planned to start in 30 days. enCore now holds two RML's in Texas; one for the Alta Mesa ISR Uranium Project and the amended RML which now includes the Upper Spring Creek's Brown Area, Rosita and Kingsville Project areas. The TCEQ is a part of the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission's ("NRC") Agreement State Program where Texas assumes regulatory authority over certain radioactive materials, including production of uranium. As part of the agreement, regulations adopted by Texas are required to be compatible with NRC regulations.

enCore Energy Continues Wellfield Expansion at the Alta Mesa Uranium Project; Announces Senior Vice President of Operations
NASDAQ:EUTSXV: DALLAS, April 22, 2025 /CNW/ - enCore Energy Corp. (NASDAQ: EU) (TSXV: EU) (the "Company" or "enCore"), America's Clean Energy Company™, today provided continued positive results from on-going improvements to wellfield operations at the Alta Mesa Uranium Central Processing Plant ("CPP") and Wellfield (see EU NR dated April 7, 2025). The Company also announced the promotion of Mr. Dain McCoig to the position of Senior Vice President of Operations. The Alta Mesa CPP and Wellfield expansion highlights include: Wellfield development continues to show positive results with a total of 32 wells, 15 extractors and 17 injectors installed and operational with uranium-bearing solution scheduled to be piped to the Alta Mesa CPP by April 23, 2025. This current rate of under two days per installed well is the best in the Company's history at the the Alta Mesa Project; Installation of PathCAD™ wellfield simulation and design software providing enCore the ability to model wellfield flow for current and future wellfields. PathCAD™ software is proven to provide for improved wellfield management, efficient wellfield planning, operations and optimization of uranium extraction; Wellfield 8 ("PAA-8"), planned for uranium extraction following the currently operational Wellfield 7 is now renamed Wellfield 3-Ext ("PAA-3 Extension"). The original plan to develop Wellfield 8 is altered due to new delineation drilling which indicates the uranium mineralization occurs within the same ore horizon and partially within the boundary of the existing monitor well ring of the past-producing Wellfield 3 ("PAA-3"). Modelling Wellfield 3-Ext as an extension of Wellfield 3 is expected to reduce permitting timelines and wellfield installation costs while extending the existing monitor well ring. This approach also provides the ability to capture uranium stranded within the previously operated Wellfield 3; Alta Mesa wellfield optimization training and updated procedures are on-going. The enhanced procedures are positively impacting the productive life of existing wellfields and is expected to enhance future wellfield operations and total uranium capture. William M. Sheriff, Executive Chairman, stated: "Since joining enCore in June 2023 as the Director of Technical Services, Dain has played a critical role in the successful restart of both the Rosita and Alta Mesa Central Processing Plants. On behalf of the Board of Directors, I want to congratulate him on a promotion that truly reflects his leadership, technical expertise and industry knowledge. In conjunction with Directors Dr. Dennis Stover and Mark Pelizza, Mr. McCoig and the site management have accelerated wellfield installation and made alterations to wellfield design to maximize uranium extraction while reducing expected wellfield development costs." About the Alta Mesa Uranium CPP and Wellfield ("Alta Mesa Uranium Project")The Alta Mesa Uranium Project hosts a fully licensed and constructed ISR Central Processing Plant and operational wellfield located on 200,000+ acres of private land and mineral rights in and regulated by the state of Texas. Total operating capacity at the Alta Mesa CPP is 1.5 million lbs. uranium per year with additional drying capacity of 0.5 million lbs. The Alta Mesa Project operates under a 70/30 joint venture with Boss Energy Limited (ASX: BOE; OTCQX: BQSSF) that is managed by the Company. The Alta Mesa CPP historically produced nearly 5 million lbs. of uranium between 2005 and 2013 when production was curtailed as a result of low prices. The Alta Mesa Project utilizes well known ISR technology to extract uranium in a non-invasive process using natural groundwater and oxygen. Currently, oxygenated water is being circulated in the wellfield through injection or extraction wells plumbed directly into the primary pipelines feeding the Alta Mesa CPP. Expansion of the wellfield will continue with production to steadily increase from the wellfield as expansion continues through 2025 and beyond.
