DALLAS, Oct. 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ - enCore Energy Corp. (NASDAQ:EU) (TSXV:EU) (the "Company" or "enCore"), America's Clean Energy Company™, announced today important new uranium discoveries have been made in areas in or near existing wellfields. These discoveries have been made as a result of a major ongoing re-analysis of thousands of historic drill holes from across the Alta Mesa In-Situ Recovery ("ISR") Uranium Project that began in April 2025. This more granular and detailed evaluation has identified uranium mineralized roll fronts in at least three areas to date. Follow up drilling by enCore has delineated these new roll fronts with drilling continuing to determine the extents of each.

This additional roll front uranium mineralization has been discovered in close proximity to known and already exploited roll fronts. One of these new roll fronts has progressed such that it has now advanced to permitting as Wellfield 3 Extension. Mineralized roll fronts have also been found overlying the past productive mineralization in Wellfield 4 with at least two new roll fronts discovered to date, each extending more than 2500 feet in length with both included in the existing permit authorization. This newly discovered mineralization lies at a depth of 320 to 345 feet, almost 200 feet above the previously exploited roll front. This shallow mineralization makes for shorter drill times with less footage required, less cement and shorter casing intervals resulting in significant cost savings in delineation and extraction versus deeper mineralization. A third area extending south from the previously exploited mineralization in Wellfield 1 continues to expand with additional ongoing drilling.

This granular re-analysis of previous drill data is expected to continue through the end of the year with follow-up delineation drilling continuing into 2026. This drilling is in addition to the major drill program, expected to commence in the next few weeks, on the recently acquired Alta Mesa East Property (EU NR dated August 18, 2025) which hosts the extensions of roll front uranium mineralization from several of the Wellfields to the west on the established Alta Mesa Project.

About the Alta Mesa ISR Uranium CPP and Wellfield ("Alta Mesa Uranium Project")

The Alta Mesa Uranium Project hosts a fully licensed and operational 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 which is managed by the Company.

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. 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.
