CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas, May 26, 2022 /CNW/ – enCore Energy Corp. (“enCore” or the “Company“) (TSXV: EU) (OTCQB: ENCUF) announced today the completion of the sale of the Cebolleta Uranium Project (“Ceboletta”), New Mexico to Future Fuel Corporation (“Future Fuels”) (CSE: AMPS) for 11,308,250 common shares representing approximately 15.90% on an undiluted basis of the outstanding shares of Future Fuels and $250,000 USD. This transaction is the first major step in monetizing assets held by enCore which are not in the Company’s production pipeline, further enabling enCore’s execution of its goal to become the next producer of American uranium.
William M. Sheriff, Executive Chair stated: “enCore Energy is focused on providing necessary and reliable, clean energy in the United States by advancing the Rosita Plant and our Texas assets towards production. The sale of Cebolleta provides significant equity in Future Fuels, enhancing our already healthy balance sheet which will see us bring our Rosita Plant back into production and deliver on our uranium sales agreements in 2023. We are committed to adding value to the Company while seeking to minimize shareholder dilution on our path to production.”
