Concurrently, monitor well installation, baseline water quality analysis, and hydrological testing will be completed as part of the Production Area Authorization (PAA) process with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality. (TCEQ).  Wellfield installation will begin immediately following the submittal of the PAA data package to the TCEQ. All activities are on track and on budget for a projected 2023 production start.

Simultaneously, enCore is commencing a cost benefit analysis to consider options for expansion of the current 800,000 pounds U3O8 production capacity at its Rosita Plant.

No additional permits are required to upsize capacity at the Rosita Plant.
