enCore Energy Receives Radioactive Materials License for Upper Spring Creek ISR Uranium Project, South Texas; Commences Construction
DALLAS, May 29, 2025 /CNW/ - enCore Energy Corp. (NASDAQ:EU| TSXV: EU) (the "Company" or "enCore"), America's Clean Energy Company TM, today announced the approval for the inclusion of the Upper Spring Creek In-Situ Recovery ("ISR") Uranium Project (the "Project") in the existing Radioactive Materials License ("RML") from the TCEQ (Texas Commission on Environmental Quality). This license allows enCore to handle radioactive materials, which includes the final product, U 3 O 8 ("uranium"). The current RML includes the Rosita Uranium Project, which has now been extended to cover the Upper Spring Creek Project's Brown Area. The RML allows the construction of wellfields and a Satellite Ion Exchange ("IX") Plant to commence, which will feed the Rosita ISR Uranium Central Processing Plant ("CPP"). These Satellite IX Plants, located adjacent to wellfields, are a key part of the satellite ISR process; they are modular, efficient, and relocatable, allowing for cost-effective uranium extraction across multiple remote sites which can be moved once a wellfield is depleted. The RML is scheduled for renewal in 2032, provided the Project's operation remains in compliance. The RML provides safety, material handling, record keeping and reporting protocols.
William M. Sheriff, Executive Chairman of enCore Energy stated: "The receipt of the RML, allowing enCore to build its next remote Satellite Ion Exchange Plant and wellfield in a timely manner from application, is a testament to the efficiency of the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality. The ability to operate and issue these critical permits under authority of being an Agreement State in conjunction with the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission is a clear competitive advantage for enCore. This is our third permitted facility in Texas with each of our preceding permits having been granted in 20 months or less. The Upper Spring Creek Project brings important uranium mineralization into the operations of the Company, and we look forward to recovering (capturing) increasing amounts of uranium from late this year into 2026. On behalf of the Board, I want to thank our dedicated team for bringing this project to the point of permit application and issuance. We have the utmost confidence in them completing the new construction in the coming months."
enCore has commenced advancement of the Project with drill rigs moving to site to begin development of the production wellfield; enCore previously began staging equipment in anticipation of receiving this approval. Construction activities will include surface preparation, well construction, road construction and installation of support facilities and utilities. The construction of the Satellite IX Plant concrete pad is planned to start in 30 days.
enCore now holds two RML's in Texas; one for the Alta Mesa ISR Uranium Project and the amended RML which now includes the Upper Spring Creek's Brown Area, Rosita and Kingsville Project areas. The TCEQ is a part of the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission's ("NRC") Agreement State Program where Texas assumes regulatory authority over certain radioactive materials, including production of uranium. As part of the agreement, regulations adopted by Texas are required to be compatible with NRC regulations.
About the Upper Spring Creek ISR Uranium Project
The 100% Company-owned Project is a planned Satellite IX Plant operation for the Rosita CPP. The Project consists of several future potential production units within the historic Clay West uranium district. The Project was previously held by Signal Equities LLC, who previously licensed and permitted the property as an ISR uranium project, maintaining the aquifer exemption and ceased work following continued low uranium spot prices. In December 2020, the Company acquired the Project. The uranium mineralized sands that are associated with the project area lie within the Oakville Formation. These historic uranium producing sands stretch across an area of approximately 120 miles long by approximately 20 miles wide in South Texas. The uranium mineralized ore body at the Upper Spring Creek Project occurs at depths typically between 300 and 450 feet from surface.
Rosita ISR Uranium Central Processing Plant
The Rosita CPP can receive uranium-loaded resin from remote project areas across the South Texas region through a network of Satellite IX Plants. These Satellite IX Plants, located near wellfields, are a key component of the ISR uranium extraction process. A lixiviant, consisting of groundwater mixed with oxygen and sodium bicarbonate, is injected into the wellfield using ISR technology, where it dissolves uranium from the underground sandstone. The uranium-bearing solution is then pumped to the surface and directed through the IX columns at the nearby Satellite IX Plant, where uranium is absorbed onto resin beads. The uranium-loaded resin is then transported to the Rosita CPP, where the uranium is removed from the resin and processed into yellowcake. Once processed, the resin is recycled and trucked back to the Satellite IX Plants for reuse. These modular, efficient, and relocatable IX Plants allow for cost-effective operation across multiple sites without the need to construct full processing facilities at each location, and they can be relocated once a wellfield is depleted.
Technical Disclosure and Qualified Person
John M. Seeley, Ph.D., P.G., C.P.G., enCore's Chief Geologist, and a Qualified Person under Canadian National Instrument 43-101 and United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) S-K 1300, has reviewed and approved the technical disclosure in this news release on behalf of the Company.

1 Stock That Turned $1,000 Into More Than $1 Million
Investors understand that when you extend your time horizon into decades with high-quality businesses, the power of compound growth can work wonders. This is why it's so beneficial to be a long-term owner of companies, allowing their improving fundamentals to positively impact your portfolio. This strategy is far more consistently reliable than constantly trying to time the market. With this perspective in mind, there are definitely some businesses that have generated tremendous wealth for their long-term shareholders. In fact, here's one stock that over the course of the past 28 years would have turned a $1,000 initial investment into a holding worth more than $1 million. Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now. Learn More » Becoming one of the world's dominant enterprises Since this company's initial public offering in May 1997, its shares have produced an unbelievable return of 217,000%. Had you been able to allocate $1,000 to this stock when it went public, you'd be staring at a balance of nearly $2.2 million today. The company in question is none other than Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN). Its journey -- characterized by constant innovation and pushing the envelope -- has been nothing short of spectacular. Amazon started out in the mid-1990s selling books online. While this was a narrow focus, it was a revolutionary idea at the time. The company wanted to stick to a product category that was easy and low-risk to ship, and one that had a massive selection of items for shoppers to choose from. Over time, Amazon evolved to start selling virtually anything under the sun, and it continues to expand its footprint. In December, for example, the business launched a partnership that allows consumers to buy new Hyundai vehicles on its e-commerce site. The entire car-buying process, from arranging financing to scheduling the delivery from a nearby dealer, can be handled on Amazon. The company enticed shoppers to spend more money on its site by pioneering fast, free shipping, and offering it as a perk of its Prime membership program in 2005. Today, it is estimated that there are more than 200 million Prime members across the globe. In 2006, the company began offering Amazon Web Services (AWS) to external customers. Management realized that other businesses might need solutions to scaling IT infrastructure based on changing needs -- the same issue Amazon faced with its e-commerce operation. In 2024, AWS generated $108 billion of revenue and $40 billion of operating income. It is the world's largest cloud-computing infrastructure provider and a major artificial intelligence (AI) platform. Thanks to the tremendous amount of traffic gets these days, as well as the success of the Prime Video streaming platform, Amazon has become an advertising juggernaut. During the first quarter of 2025, it collected $13.9 billion in digital ad revenue. What the future might hold With a market capitalization of $2.3 trillion and trailing-12-month revenue of $650 billion, Amazon has grown into a colossal entity and delivered incredible gains to its long-term shareholders. But it would be unreasonable to expect it to do anything similar in the future -- it's already one of the five largest companies in the world. Growth can't continue at a rapid pace indefinitely, and given Amazon's current scale, there are limited opportunities for it to do things that could move the financial needle. That doesn't necessarily mean Amazon isn't a worthy investment candidate, though. According to Wall Street consensus analyst estimates, its revenue is projected to increase at a compound annual rate of 9.5% between 2024 and 2027. That's certainly an encouraging sign. Even better, its bottom line is soaring thanks to cost cuts and operational efficiencies. Diluted earnings per share (on a split-adjusted basis) went from $3.21 in 2021 -- and a $0.27 loss in 2022 -- to $5.53 in 2024. Those impressive gains make the current valuation reasonable, in my view. As of June 19, the stock trades at a forward price-to-earnings ratio of 34.3. Amazon won't turn a $1,000 investment into $2.2 million over the next 28 years. However, this business should be on every long-term investor's radar. Should you invest $1,000 in Amazon right now? Before you buy stock in Amazon, consider this: The Motley Fool Stock Advisor analyst team just identified what they believe are the 10 best stocks for investors to buy now… and Amazon wasn't one of them. The 10 stocks that made the cut could produce monster returns in the coming years.
