(NASDAQ: EU) (TSXV: EU) (the "Company" or "enCore"), America's Clean Energy Company TM , today shared positive results from initial exploration drilling tests conducted on its Alta Mesa East ("AME") property, which is immediately adjacent to the Alta Mesa wellfields and extraction operations. Exploratory drilling tests are designed to outline mineralization, which will guide the Company's efforts in permitting and expanding In-Situ Recovery ("ISR") operations into the AME from the existing Alta Mesa operations.

An aggressive drill program is underway with additional results pending."
