enCore Energy Corp. has announced a formal production decision for the resumption of uranium production from the Alta Mesa Processing Plant in Texas, with initial production expected in early 2024.
The project is enCore's third fully licensed production facility and will be the company's second producing location, following the resumption of uranium production at the South Texas Rosita Uranium Processing Plant in 2023.
The company's technical staff are currently identifying equipment maintenance and limited repair needs at the Alta Mesa Processing Plant, which has been on standby since 2013.
The plant will utilize well-known ISR technology to extract uranium in a non-invasive process through the use of natural groundwater and oxygen.
The resumption of uranium production at Alta Mesa will bring a reliable domestic low-carbon energy source to South Texas and the United States when it is most needed.
