enCore Energy Completes Sale of the Marquez-Juan Tafoya Uranium Project

NYSE American:EU
TSXV:EU

DALLAS, July 20, 2023 /CNW/ - enCore Energy Corp. ("enCore" or the "Company") (NYSE American: EU) (TSXV: EU) announced today the completion of the sale of the Marquez-Juan Tafoya Uranium Project to Anfield Energy Inc. ("Anfield") (TSX.V:AEC; OTCQB:ANLDF) for aggregate consideration of C$5,000,000 payable in cash and 185,000,000 common shares of Anfield. The deemed value of the share consideration at the time of closing is C$9,250,000 (based on a share price of C$0.05). A total of C$4,000,000 of the cash payment was received on closing, and a further C$1,000,000 is payable by September 25, 2023.

William M. Sheriff, Executive Chairman stated: "The sale of the Marquez-Juan Tafoya Uranium Project represents the third successful transaction in enCore's ongoing program of divesting established quality uranium assets that are not in its production pipeline. This transaction provides us with both cash and participation as a significant shareholder in one of only three licensed conventional uranium mills in the United States. As always our focus remains on advancing our Rosita and Alta Mesa In-Situ Recovery Uranium Central Processing Plant, where we remain on track, back into production in 2023 and early 2024 respectively."

The transaction was completed pursuant to a share purchase agreement dated June 5, 2023 (EU NR June 6, 2023). Under the terms of the agreement, on closing Anfield acquired all of the outstanding shares of the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, Neutron Energy Inc., which holds the Marquez-Juan Tafoya Uranium Project as its sole asset. Under the terms of the agreement with Anfield, enCore maintains the right to one seat on the board of directors of Anfield, for as long as the Company holds at least 10% of the issued shares of Anfield. Mr. Eugene Spiering, with extensive experience in conventional uranium, is the Company's initial board appointee. enCore also has the right to maintain its percentage equity interest in Anfield in subsequent share issuances for so long as it holds at least 10% of the outstanding shares of Anfield.

Red Cloud Securities Inc. acted as an advisor in connection with the transaction.  

Disclosure pursuant to National Instrument 62-103

enCore is holding the shares of Anfield for investment purposes, and may, depending on market and other conditions, increase or decrease its beneficial ownership of the Company's securities, whether in the open market, by privately negotiated agreements or otherwise, subject to a number of factors, including general market conditions and other available investment and business opportunities. Immediately prior to the transaction, enCore held no common shares of Anfield.

The disclosure respecting enCore's shareholdings contained in this news release is made pursuant to National Instrument 62-103 and a report respecting the above acquisition will be filed with the applicable securities commissions and will be available for viewing at www.sedar.com.
