We received from  William M. Sheriff Executive Chairman of enCore Energy Corp and we are glad to publish the foollwing press release:

“enCore Energy Corp. (NASDAQ: EU) (TSXV: EU) (the “Company” or “enCore”), America’s Clean Energy CompanyTM, today shared positive results from initial exploration drilling tests conducted on its Alta Mesa East (“AME”) property, which is immediately adjacent to the Alta Mesa wellfields and extraction operations.

Exploratory drilling tests are designed to outline mineralization, which will guide the Company’s efforts in permitting and expanding In-Situ Recovery (“ISR”) operations into the AME from the existing Alta Mesa operations. These initial results have confirmed uranium mineralization extending more than 3,700 feet to the east from the nearest wellfield.

William M. Sheriff, Executive Chairman of enCore, said, “Our initial drill results from Alta Mesa East have reconfirmed our expectations of encouraging uranium grades across all major mineralized sand units known to exist at Alta Mesa. Uranium extraction efforts from these sand units at the Alta Mesa wellfields have generated solid results, including current operations at wellfield 7. An aggressive drill program is underway with additional results pending.”

Alta Mesa East Project Drilling Update
Exploration drilling at enCore’s 5,900-acre AME Project is well underway and continues to advance with 6 drilling rigs in operation. The AME Project targets the continuation of productive roll fronts from Alta Mesa wellfields 1, 3, 3EXT, 4, 5B, and 7. Overall, exploration efforts are focused on mineralization within the designated B sands, Middle C sands (MCL & MCU in the table), Lower C sands (LCL & LCU in the table), and potentially the D sands in the northeast areas.

Initial exploration drilling is typically conducted on 400 and 500 foot centers with closer offsets in mineralized areas.  Seven widely spaced east-west fences of drilling are underway for overall regional characterization.  Drilling is averaging a total depth of approximately 600 feet below the surface. Exploration drilling has discovered mineralization within the Middle C sands at a depth on average between 400 and 460 feet, and within Lower C sands between 480 and 520 feet below surface. The final results are reported for the initial 17 holes, which include six holes ranging from 0.351 to 2.297 Grade Thicknesses (“GT”). GT of 0.3 is considered suitable for inclusion in a wellfield. Of the 17 holes reported, 10 were mineralized.

  • All reported intercepted mineralization lies within the Pliocene Goliad Formation. Holes with less than 2 ft of 0.02% U3O8 are not reported in the table.
  • The Company has identified four saturated (required for ISR) mineralized sandstone horizons within the Pliocene Goliad Formation lying approximately 400 to 520 feet below the surface. The water level is located approximately 180 feet below the surface.
  • ISR recoverable uranium with a Grade Thickness of >0.3 is considered suitable for inclusion in a wellfield.
