CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas , Sept. 6, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - enCore Energy Corp. ("enCore" or the "Company") (TSXV: EU) (OTCQB: ENCUF) today announced the completion and installation of all (five) baseline wells within the uranium mineralization at the 100%-owned, fully licensed Rosita Extension Project Production Authorization Area (PAA) wellfield.  In addition to establishing baseline conditions in the production area, the wells returned excellent uranium values with Grade Thicknesses (GT*) ranging from 0.932 to 5.139. The Company also reports it has commenced installation of production well patterns (injection and extraction wells) at the Rosita Extension PAA, South Texas as the initial source of uranium feed for the Rosita Central In-Situ Recovery (ISR) Uranium Processing Plant.

Baseline Drill Hole BL-41 reported 22.0 feet of mineralization grading 0.234% U3O8 from a depth of 184 feet;

In addition to an indication of grade of mineralization in the PAA, the baselines wells also serve to establish groundwater quality standards;

Commencement of installation of the production well patterns (injection and recovery wells) with 5 drill rigs are currently active at the Rosita Extension PAA drilling;

Commencement of hydrologic and water quality testing of the baseline and monitor wells (see enCore news release dated August 25, 2022 );

The Rosita Extension PAA is the first production area planned as a new source of uranium for the Rosita ISR Uranium Processing Plant;

The Rosita Extension PAA is located within the existing Radioactive Materials License, Underground Injection Control Permit and Aquifer Exemption areas at the Rosita Project;

Rosita Extension Project – Highlights of Baseline Monitoring Wells Sampling Results

All intercepts are between 210 and 245 feet below surface in saturated sands (required for ISR). The water table is located approximately 95 - 115 feet below surface.

*Grade Thickness, or GT, is defined as the product of the mineral grade (at the .02%  U3O8 cutoff) multiplied by the thickness of the mineralization at or above the cutoff value. GT values of 0.3 and above are considered to be the minimum for inclusion in a wellfield.  Values of 0.45 are considered typical ISR ore-grade for shallow deposits.

Rosita Central Uranium Processing Plant (Rosita Plant)

enCore's Rosita Plant, located approximately 60 miles from Corpus Christi, Texas , is a licensed, past-producing in-situ recovery (ISR) uranium plant that is completing refurbishment. The final stage of refurbishment work will be completed with the delivery of six pumps that have been delayed due to unexpected supply chain interruptions. We remain on budget and the delay is not expected to impact scheduled production startup in 2023. The Rosita Plant is designed to process uranium feed from multiple satellite operations, all located in the South Texas area, and is 1 of 11 licensed and constructed uranium processing plants in the United States , 2 of which are owned by enCore Energy.

All drill holes are 5.625-inch diameter rotary-mud holes.  Each hole is logged with electrical and gamma methods upon completion.  Any anomalous gamma readings are followed up with Prompt Fission Neutron (PFN) surveys which provide direct and accurate in-situ uranium values eliminating any concerns over disequilibrium.  The Company owns and operates 2 logging trucks and 5 PFN tools.

Many uranium deposits have a degree of disequilibrium, whereby the radioactivity measured in drill holes using traditional gamma methods does not accurately correspond to ore grade, due to the continued decay of uranium daughter products including potassium, thorium, lead and bismuth relative to radium (Ra226), a significant gamma emitter. Traditionally, accurate uranium values are therefore determined by chemical assay of drill core which is time consuming and expensive.

Without accurate uranium values, the potential for inaccurate estimates of mineralization on both the high and low side is ever present.  Real-time PFN analysis accurately eliminates potential errors by using neutron activation to directly detect and quantify uranium content in place down the drill hole.

The PFN tool creates very fast neutrons (14MeV) and fires 108 neutrons per second. Therefore, the neutrons emitted by the PFN tool excite, at an atomic level, in-situ uranium atoms in the drill hole, creating fast (epithermal) neutrons and slow (thermal) neutrons. The ratio of epithermal to thermal neutrons is proportional to uranium, allowing the U3O8 ore grade to be accurately calculated. This provides a relatively inexpensive and instantaneous means for accurate assaying of in-situ ore grades over large areas, and it allows for accurate ore body mapping, resource estimation, and wellfield planning.

Nio (NYSE: NIO) reported increasing losses in its second-quarter earnings report this week, but investors are shrugging that off, sending shares soaring Friday morning. Although its profit margins have been on a downward trend, new models being launched could turn that around in the coming years. Consumer prices in China increased at a slower pace than many expected in August, and producer inflation sank to the lowest level since February 2021, reports Reuters.

As we close in on the final quarter of 2022, investors are looking for an answer to one question: was June’s low the bottom for stocks, or do they have more room to fall? It’s a serious question, and there may be no easy answer.

Shares of AMC Entertainment (NYSE: AMC) are rising 8.7% higher at 10:13 a.m. ET on Friday following CEO Adam Aron thanking the movie theater operator's shareholders for their support as rival Cineworld (OTC: CNNW.F) filed for bankruptcy on Wednesday. It's been expected for some time that the Regal theater owner would eventually file, as the industry is still racked by low attendance, but Aron assured investors AMC is in a "very, very different situation." Although both theater operators have over $5 billion in debt, Aron maintains it was because of investors who rallied behind the stock over the past year that AMC doesn't find itself in a similar position.

The Facebook and Instagram owner's share price zoomed more than 4% higher on Friday, as investors bid the company up on news that it had disbanded one of its teams. Thursday afternoon, The Wall Street Journal reported that Meta had dissolved the Responsible Innovation (RI) unit at the company. This was the team that kept an eye on the ethics of its products and services, which also include messaging app WhatsApp in addition to Facebook and Instagram.

A strong bearish trend defined the markets in the first half of the year; since then, the key point has been volatility. Stocks hit a bottom back in June, when the S&P 500 dropped into the 3,600s. That has proven to be a support level in the last two months, and at least one strategist believes that the market won’t be testing those lows again this year. JPMorgan's Jason Hunter believes that inflation may have peaked, and that the upcoming CPI report will provide additional evidence of that. “We
