"enCore is dedicated to becoming the next domestic producer of uranium in the United Sates and remains focused on our extensive pipeline of quality development-stage assets in our push towards initial production in 2023 with production ramping up over the years beyond. The sale of our uranium exploration assets to well-managed companies with an option to participate in the production stage is a clear benefit to our shareholders," said William M.
