enCore Energy Enters Definitive Agreement for the Sale of the Marquez-Juan Tafoya Uranium Project

 

 

 

 

 

enCore Energy Corp. (NYSE American: EU) (TSXV: EU) announced it has entered into a definitive agreement with Anfield Energy Inc. (TSX-V: AEC) (OTCQB: ANLDF) whereby Anfield will acquire, from enCore, the Marquez-Juan Tafoya Uranium Project located in New Mexico in exchange for C$5,000,000 in cash and 185,000,000 of its common shares. This is the third transaction in enCore’s ongoing program of divesting uranium assets that are not in its production pipeline.

 

William M. Sheriff, enCore’s Executive Chairman stated: “enCore has acquired a series of quality U.S. projects through several mergers and acquisitions at a time when there were few competitors due to the industry downturn of recent years. We are now capitalizing on those assets that do not meet our criteria for development such as early-stage projects and, in this case, an advanced project that is conventional in nature rather than In-Situ Recovery (ISR)-amenable.”

 

“By gaining a significant equity interest in Anfield, a company dedicated to conventional uranium development, we gain an immediate cash payment and participation as a significant shareholder in their broad portfolio of advanced projects in the southwestern United States. Anfield holds one of the very few licensed conventional uranium mills in the US making them a logical and desirable developer of the Marquez-Juan Tafoya asset. With board representation, and the right to maintain our leading shareholder position, we look forward to our involvement with Anfield as they advance this key project along with their other conventional assets,” Sheriff said.

 

Pursuant to the Agreement, on closing of the Transaction, enCore will have the right to one seat on the board of directors of Anfield, which will be ongoing for so long as enCore holds at least 10% of the issued shares of Anfield. enCore will have the right to maintain its percentage equity interest in Anfield in subsequent share issuances as long as it holds at least 10% of the issued shares of Anfield.

 

Pursuant to the agreement, Anfield will, on closing, acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Neutron Energy, Inc. a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company which holds the Marquez-Juan Tafoya Uranium Project as its sole asset.

 

Closing of the Transaction is anticipated to take place on or before July 21, 2023 and is subject to stock exchange approval and other customary conditions. Red Cloud Securities Inc. acted as an advisor in connection with the Transaction.
