There are only 11 licensed and constructed uranium production facilities in all of the United States (US) The Alta Mesa CPP is enCore's third fully licensed production facility, along with Rosita and Kingsville Dome CPP's, all located in the business-friendly state of Texas.

Alta Mesa historically produced nearly 5 million lbs of U 3O 8 between 20, when full production was curtailed as a result of low uranium prices at the time.Īlta Mesa Processing Plant and Project highlights include: Total operating capacity is 1.5 million lbs U 3O 8 (uranium) per year. Alta Mesa will be enCore's second producing location following resumption of uranium production at the South Texas Rosita Uranium Processing Plant ("Rosita") scheduled for 2023.
The Alta Mesa CPP and project is a fully licensed and constructed ISR uranium project and CPP currently on standby, located on 200,000+ acres of private land in the state of Texas. Of these holes, 14 are being cased as injection wells and 14 as recovery wells while further refined delineation drilling within the PAA continues to establish the exact pattern of injection and recovery wells from which to maximize production efficiency.Īlta Mesa In-Situ Recovery ("ISR") Uranium Central Processing Plant ("Alta Mesa CPP") & Project Further drilling along trend will continue to delineate this new mineralized sand and is likely to increase the overall mineralization within PAA-7. The drilling program has encountered unexpected significant grade in the Middle C unit underlying PAA-7, with grade thicknesses multiplied by the thickness of the mineralization at or above the cutoff value] ranging from 0.481 to 1.888 in 4 of the holes. The Middle C unit, a productive sand, essential for ISR, in PAA-3 was not previously known to be mineralized under PAA-7.
The wellfield drilling operations, within Production Authorization Area 7 (PAA), which commenced in March 2023, are advancing rapidly with 81 holes drilled to date with drilling delineating the roll front mineralization within PAA-7. Presently there are 6 drill rigs working at Alta Mesa with a 7 th rig to be added shortly. EnCore Energy Logo (CNW Group/enCore Energy Corp.)
