DALLAS, Aug. 14, 2024 /CNW/ - enCore Energy Corp.
(NASDAQ: EU) (TSXV: EU) (the "Company" or "enCore"), a uranium producer, today reports results from
the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2024. enCore continued to enjoy rising revenue due to increasing production and sales of
U3O8 ("yellowcake") in the first half of 2024. The Company commissioned the Alta Mesa In-Situ Recovery
("ISR") Central Processing Plant and Wellfield ("Alta Mesa") late in the quarter (June 13, 2024 NR) as its second
uranium producing facility in the United States ("US"), making enCore the only company with two uranium facilities in the US
currently producing yellowcake. The Company met its delivery commitments under contracts with the delivery of 410,000 pounds, partially
purchased and partially produced, of U3O8 during the six month period. enCore continued to move its pipeline
of projects ahead with permitting activities in south Texas and preparation for a drilling program in Wyoming.
Six Month Period Performance Highlights (in USD
unless otherwise noted):
- The Company recorded revenue
of $36 million from the sale of yellowcake under sales contracts with nuclear utility customers;
- Uranium production commencement
from two of its three plants in Texas within an eight-month time period making enCore the only company currently producing uranium at
more than one facility in the US;
- Contract deliveries of 410,000
pounds of U3O8 at an average sales price of $87.11 per pound fully meeting the Company's contractual commitments;
- The Company entered its seventh
uranium supply contract, in Q2 2024, with a US nuclear utility to deliver 200,000 pounds of U3O8 per year in 2028
and 2029 using a pricing structure assuring inflation adjusted realized prices above current spot prices presently in the low $80 per
pound range;
- The Company continues uranium
supply contract negotiations with US nuclear utilities with flexible inflation adjusted pricing designed to assure the Company of known
floor prices and allowing its participation in significant upward pricing.

* In 2023, the Company recorded a gain of $858,000 on the sale of its uranium investment for the three months ended June 30, and a gain of $1,959,000 for the six months ended June 30. This income was classified as investment income, rather than revenue, as the company had not yet commenced production. |
Revenue Discussion
The Company's sales of 410,000 pounds of yellowcake
were sourced from both purchased pounds and those produced at its Rosita In-Situ Recovery ("ISR") Central Processing Plant ("Rosita").
These purchased pounds increased the cost of goods sold. As Alta Mesa came on-line late in Q2 there were no sales of product from
Alta Mesa. Revenues are expected to increase materially during the second half of the year with Alta Mesa's production being the
major source of this expected increase.
Expense Discussion
The increase in expenses is primarily due to activity
associated with the start-up of Alta Mesa. Operational start-up inefficiencies at the Rosita Extension Wellfield also adversely
affected expenses. With both facilities in the early phases of start-up, they have incurred accelerated expenses and investments
crucial to fully achieving our growth strategy and meeting our operational capacity.
Alta Mesa Q2 Performance
On June 13, 2024 the Company announced initial production
from Alta Mesa. As this production commenced with only seventeen days remaining in the second quarter, no dried uranium was inventoried
during the quarter. Average wellfield solution head grades of 120 mg/L U3O8 achieved during the last
two weeks of the quarter indicated productivity at levels exceeding our expectations. Drilling has been continuous at Alta Mesa
as the Company plans on systematically increasing the number of injection and production wells producing in phases through the end of
the year and beyond.
Outlook and Subsequent Events
The Company's outlook is positive with significant
and increasing revenue from Alta Mesa production contributing to financial results in the second half of 2024 and beyond as additional
production wells are completed. The cost/revenue ratio is projected to decline as the Company increases production from Alta Mesa and
to a lesser extent Rosita for the remainder of the year. This trend is projected to accelerate as the Company expects to reach and
exceed one million pounds a year production rate in 2025.
Additional plant feed for Rosita will be developed
at the Upper Spring Creek Project where the Company has submitted various permit and amendment applications to the regulatory authorities
in anticipation of a first half start-up in 2025. Detailed confirmation drilling along with monitor and base well installation will
commence before the end of Q3 2024.
The nuclear industry outlook remains extremely positive
with demand projections outpacing supply for the foreseeable future driven in part by increased electrical demand from Artificial Intelligence
("AI") and the commitment of many sectors of the economy to achieve zero carbon. Regulatory actions and permitting delays, which
restrict or withdraw large uranium deposits from development and production, combined with geopolitical tensions, provide a positive backdrop
for uranium pricing. Current contracting conditions remain favorable, with contract pricing now higher at a spot price in the low
$80s than it was when the spot price reached its twelve-month high of $115 per pound.
