EnCore’s recent restart of the Rosita plant marks a pivotal moment in their strategic uranium production plan for South Texas. The plant, situated approximately 60 miles from Corpus Christi, Texas, has undergone extensive refurbishment following enCore’s acquisition in 2021. With a capacity to produce 800,000 pounds U3O8 per year, it is poised to process uranium feed from multiple satellite operations in the surrounding area.
In the upcoming week, enCore anticipates the first shipment of uranium from the Rosita plant to be delivered to a conversion facility. Following this, uranium will be supplied to utility customers as per the terms of their sales contracts.
The latest development in enCore’s commercial uranium sales involves the execution of their fifth contract, this time with a fourth US utility. This agreement extends deliveries from 2026 to 2032. Structured to reflect spot prices at the time of delivery, these contracts include pricing collars to ensure revenue stability and potential upside. With this new contract, enCore’s total committed sales have now risen to 4.25 million pounds U3O8 through 2032, representing less than 50% of their planned production.
A key aspect of enCore’s sales strategy is their spot-related utility contracts, which feature adjustable floor and ceiling prices annually indexed for inflation. These pricing mechanisms provide enCore with a comfortable margin over operational costs while allowing participation in uranium price escalations.
Looking ahead, enCore remains committed to securing future term agreements while maintaining flexibility in the spot market. The company will continue to explore opportunities for such agreements to support its growth strategies.
Beyond its business endeavors, enCore has launched two programs—the Education Society and Get the Edge from Education Scholarships—with the aim of fostering future leaders in the sector and contributing to local communities. These initiatives offer educational tools and financial assistance to students residing in counties near enCore projects, as well as to the families of enCore employees.
Paul Goranson, CEO of enCore, emphasizes the importance of addressing the industry’s workforce age gap while simultaneously providing economic growth opportunities in local communities through education and job creation initiatives.
