  enCore Energy Commences Uranium Production at its Second South Texas Project
5. FULL DESCRIPTION OF MATERIAL CHANGE
 

enCore Energy Corp. (“enCore” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: EU; TSXV: EU) announced the successful startup of production at the Alta Mesa Uranium Central Processing Plant (“CPP”) and Wellfield (“Alta Mesa Project”). With the restart of the previously producing Alta Mesa Project, enCore Energy is now the only uranium producer in the United States with multiple production facilities in operation. The initial ramp up will be a progressive process to advance and continually increase uranium production via direct feed to the CPP. enCore is anticipating its first shipment of yellowcake (uranium) from the Alta Mesa Project to occur in approximately 60 to 90 days.

  Alta Mesa In-Situ Recovery (“ISR”) Uranium Central Processing Plant (“CPP”) & Wellfield
  The Alta Mesa Project hosts a fully licensed and constructed CPP and operational wellfield located on 200,000+ acres of private land and mineral rights in and regulated by the state of Texas. Only 5% of the project area has been explored with 52 linear miles of stacked uranium roll fronts identified; 5 miles of which have been explored to date. The Alta Mesa Project operates under a 70/30 joint venture with Boss Energy Limited (ASX: BOE; OTCQX: BQSSF) that is managed by enCore Energy Corp.
  Total operating capacity at the Alta Mesa CPP is 1.5 million lbs. U3O8 (uranium) per year with additional drying capacity of 0.5 million lbs. 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 CPP. Expansion of the wellfield will continue with production to steadily increase from the wellfield as expansion continues through 2024 and beyond.
