ENCORE ENERGY ANNOUNCES FULL CONVERSION OF US $20 MILLION PROMISSORY NOTE; ZERO DEBT AS URANIUM PRODUCTION CONTINUES IN SOUTH TEXAS

The full outstanding principal amount of a $20-million (U.S.) convertible promissory note has been converted into common shares of the company. With the repayment of the note, EnCore has fully eliminated its remaining debt that resulted from the 2023 $120-million (U.S.) acquisition of the Alta Mesa project, which was purchased for $60-million (U.S.) cash and a $60-million (U.S.) convertible note.

Pursuant to the conversion of the note, the company issued 6,872,143 common shares to the holder. The note was issued in February, 2023 (see news release dated Feb. 15, 2023), in the principal amount of $60-million (U.S.) in connection with the company's acquisition of the Alta Mesa project. The company previously repaid $40-million (U.S.) of the note in 2023 (see news release dated Nov. 14, 2023), and, as a result of the conversion, all obligations under the note have now been satisfied in full.

William M. Sheriff, executive chairman, stated: "Starting in the early fall of 2023, the company has seen a profound transition going from a company with $60-million (U.S.) in debt and no revenue to what is projected to be a company with $70-million (U.S.) in cash, no debt and two projects in production within the next few months, following the completion of the previously announced Boss Energy transaction and planned production having commenced at the Alta Mesa project. We look forward to a year of continuing opportunities and progress as the only company in the United States with two operating uranium plants supplying the essential material to fuel domestic nuclear energy."

Alta Mesa in situ recovery (ISR) uranium central processing plant (CPP) and well field

The Alta Mesa CPP and well field host a fully licensed and constructed ISR uranium plant, located on 200,000-plus acres of private land in the state of Texas. Alta Mesa will be EnCore's second producing location and work continues to complete the pending joint venture transaction with Boss Energy (Dec. 6, 2023), whereby Boss Energy will acquire a 30-per-cent interest in the EnCore-managed JV for consideration of $60-million (U.S.) and a placement into EnCore shares of $10-million (U.S.).

Total operating capacity at the Alta Mesa CPP is 1.5 million pounds U3O8 (triuranium octoxide) per year. The Alta Mesa CPP historically produced nearly five million pounds U3O8 between 2005 and 2013, when full production was curtailed as a result of low uranium prices.

EnCore has met most of the key objectives for the refurbishment of the processing circuits necessary for the planned early 2024 restart. Work remaining includes final inspection of the ion exchange columns, testing the precipitation tanks, completing tie-in of the scrubber system, and installation and testing of the process circuit instrumentation. The yellowcake drying circuit upgrades are advancing with the filter press support infrastructure on site. Refurbishment and testing of the yellowcake drying system are progressing with that work scheduled to be completed just prior to the anticipated production restart timelines.

Within production authorization area 7 (PAA-7), EnCore is installing injection and production wells in the well field, has completed installation of the electrical transmission lines necessary for initial start-up, and is continuing to install the pipelines to connect the well field to the Alta Mesa CPP. All necessary equipment for the start-up of production in the PAA-7 well field has been received or has been ordered with a confirmed delivery schedule.

The company advises that it is not basing its production decisions at Alta Mesa CPP or Rosita CPP on a feasibility study of mineral reserves demonstrating economic and technical viability. The production decision is based on known past ISR and processing operations at these two production facilities and surrounding lands. However, the company understands that there is increased uncertainty and consequently a higher risk of failure when production is undertaken in advance of a feasibility study. The company has determined to proceed with a production decision based on past operations at the Alta Mesa CPP and Rosita CPP, including past ISR operations in the known mineral resource areas.

Dr. John M. Seeley, PhD, PG, CPG, EnCore's manager of geology and exploration and a qualified person under National Instrument 43-101, has reviewed and approved the technical disclosure in this news release on behalf of the company.

About EnCore Energy Corp.

EnCore Energy, America's clean energy company, is committed to providing clean, reliable and affordable domestic nuclear energy as the newest uranium producer in the United States. Uranium production commenced at EnCore's licensed and past-producing south Texas Rosita CPP in November, 2023, with work under way for a planned 2024 restart of uranium production at its licensed and past-producing south Texas Alta Mesa CPP. EnCore solely utilizes ISR for uranium extraction, a well-known and proven technology co-developed by the leaders at EnCore Energy. ISR extracts uranium in a non-invasive process using natural groundwater and oxygen, coupled with a proven ion exchange process, to recover the uranium. The EnCore team is led by industry experts with extensive knowledge and experience in all aspects of ISR uranium operations and the nuclear fuel cycle.

Future projects in EnCore's production pipeline include the Dewey-Burdock project in South Dakota and the Gas Hills project in Wyoming, along with significant uranium resource endowments in New Mexico providing long-term opportunities. EnCore diligently works to realize value from other owned assets, including the company's proprietary uranium database, which includes technical information from many past-producing companies; from the company's various non-core assets; and by leveraging its ISR expertise in researching opportunities that support the use of this technology as applied to other metals. EnCore is also committed to working with local communities and indigenous governments to create positive impact from corporate developments.

We seek Safe Harbor.
