New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 1.0% per year for the foreseeable future. This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits.

In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 1.0% per year for the foreseeable future. Minor Risks Currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable over next 2 years (US$52m net loss in 2 years). Significant insider selling over the past 3 months (CA$162k sold).

enCore Energy Corp. Provides Update on South Texas Uranium Operations enCore Energy Corp. provided an update on the Company's South Texas operations which are advancing on schedule and providing exceptional drilling results to support future planned production. At the Alta Mesa CPP, 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 is 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 wellfield, has completed installation of the electrical transmission lines necessary for initial start-up and is continuing to install the pipelines to connect the wellfield to the Alta Mesa CPP. All necessary equipment for the start-up of production in the PAA-7 wellfield has been received or has been ordered with a confirmed delivery schedule. The wellfield drilling operations, delineating the roll front mineralization within PAA-7, which commenced in March 2023, are advancing rapidly with 78 holes drilled since the previous update. In total, 445 drill holes have been completed through January 4th, 2024. There are currently six drill rigs in full operation at the Alta Mesa CPP and Wellfield, with contracts pending for three (3) additional rigs. Further refined delineation drilling within the PAA-7 continues to establish the exact pattern of injection and recovery wells from which to maximize production efficiency. To date, ninety-nine (99) holes have been cased with thirty-six (36) injection and production wells completed. Two (2) drill rigs are currently casing wells and one (1) drill rig focused on well completion activities. An additional drill rig will be moving to well completion activities in the coming weeks. In addition to increasing numbers of drill holes and wells with Grade Thicknesses ("GT") over 1.0 in PAA-7, the Middle C unit, which was found to overlie PAA-7 in 2023 (NR May 18, 2023) continues to exhibit unexpected significant grade, and further drilling along the Middle C trend is increasing the overall mineralization within PAA-7. Grade Thickness is Grade % U3O8 multiplied by the thickness of the mineralization. ISR recoverable uranium with a Grade Thickness of >0.3 is considered suitable for inclusion in a wellfield. The Alta Mesa CPP and Wellfield hosts a fully licensed and constructed ISR uranium plant, located on 200,000+ 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 ("JV") transaction with Boss Energy whereby Boss Energy will acquire a 30% interest in the enCore managed JV for consideration of $60 million and a placement into enCore shares of $10 million. Total operating capacity at the Alta Mesa CPP is 1.5 million lbs. U3O8 (uranium) per year. The Alta Mesa CPP historically produced nearly 5 million lbs. U3O8 between 2005 and 2013, when full production was curtailed as a result of low uranium prices. 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 In-Situ Recovery (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.
