Alta Mesa’s Wellfield 7 is scheduled to cease recovery during Q3-2026 due to anticipated depletion as the end of its natural life approaches. Final permits for Wellfield 8 are anticipated by the end of Q1-2027;

- Rosita Project and Upper Spring Creek Project: Initial start-up extraction from the Upper Spring Creek Wellfield and Satellite IX Plant is anticipated to feed the Rosita Central Processing Plant immediately upon receipt of final permits, which are anticipated in Q4-2026. Costs have been fully expensed in prior periods and the plant is ready for immediate operation upon receipt of final permits;
- Improved Outlook: The new operation at Upper Spring Creek coupled with the new wellfields at Alta Mesa position enCore for improved extraction and greater operating efficiency as the Company moves into 2027;
- Dewey Burdock ISR Uranium Project: On June 22, 2026, the Company announced important permitting progress highlighted by the Dewey Burdock ISR Uranium Project receiving a 20-year renewal of the Source Materials License (SUA-1600) effective until June 2046, following the Bureau of Land Management approval to commence infrastructure construction. The Project has now received all necessary federal permits. The Project entered State of South Dakota permitting on June 15, 2026, which is under review by the Department of Agriculture & Natural Resources. Although we anticipate development in 2028, this is subject to receiving permits from the state;
- Reduction in Expenses: In July 2026, management executed on its plan for reducing costs with a reduction in workforce following a rationalization of staffing needs across the Company.
