The Report outlines the Company's sustainability initiatives and key measurables and action items demonstrating enCore's progress as a clean energy producer. Highlights of the Report include:

• Completion of the exploratory life cycle assessment of greenhouse gas emissions (Greenhouse Gas Study), in support of environmental strategy development, at both the Rosita and Alta Mesa In-Situ Recovery Uranium Central Processing Plants;
• Reporting environmental, social, and governance performance across enCore's business;
• Completion of the first enCore materiality assessment;
• Establishment of enCore's goals, targets, and next steps for priority sustainability topics;

Paul Goranson, enCore's Chief Executive Officer stated: "It is our honor to share our inaugural Sustainability Report containing our environmental, social and governance programs and performance for the 2023 fiscal year. In 2023 we successfully achieved our objective of becoming a domestic uranium producer in the United States, an achievement met through intense commitment and dedication of our entire team. As we made the decision to undertake both our first Sustainability Report and Greenhouse Gas Report, we committed to establishing baseline information as a producer. We are releasing the Report after taking important actions toward this commitment, including establishing sustainability priorities, setting realistic and measurable targets, and completing the life cycle assessment at Rosita and Alta Mesa. While this resulted in a greater amount of time to produce the report, it allowed us to establish a strong foundation to effectively measure and improve our sustainability progress."

Paul Goranson continued "In support of our vision and goal to supply a clean and affordable energy source, enCore must also operate in a manner to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and enhance sustainability. All of this meets a global commitment to work toward decarbonizing the world with this carbon-free energy product. Simultaneously, we are committed to implementing action items to improve our operations, ensure the safety and well-being of our employees and communities while operating within a strong corporate governance model. Our sustainability achievements are critical to a strong economy and clean environment, and allow us to capitalize on the ever-increasing momentum for nuclear energy."
