enCore Energy Corp. announced 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 Well field 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.
