enCore Energy Reaches Final Stage of Permitting at Upper Spring Creek; Alta Mesa PAA-8 and PAA-3 Extension Remain on Schedule
enCore Energy's Upper Spring Creek PAA-1 has completed the TCEQ technical review and public notice process, with final authorization expected on or before November 13, 2026 — an accelerated date versus prior guidance. The Upper Spring Creek Satellite IX Plant and first wellfield are already constructed and expensed; uranium extraction will begin shortly after permit receipt, feeding loaded resin to the licensed Rosita processing plant. At Alta Mesa, PAA-8 and the PAA-3 Extension remain on schedule with final permitting expected by year-end and early 2027, respectively, and new Texas rules eliminate a public-hearing delay risk.
