MESSAGE

William M. Sheriff

Dear Fellow Shareholders

On behalf of the Board of Directors, you are invited to attend the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders (“Meeting”) of enCore Energy Corp to be held on Wednesday, June 21, 2023 at 9:00 am Pacific Time at the office of Morton Law, Suite 1200-750, West Pender Street, Vancouver, British Columbia.

enCore’s strategy to put together the best possible team of experienced personnel and acquiring existing, licensed uranium processing plants and established resources in favorable jurisdictions in the United States is well underway. We saw the opportunity to be the industry leader in a world embracing the concept of net zero emissions, which we believed could not be achieved without a major expansion of nuclear energy. Our goal is simple: to be the leading In-Situ Recovery (ISR) producer of uranium in the United States.

As we advance our strategy, with significant milestones achieved through the past year, we also have important business to attend to at our Annual General Meeting. Our Management Information Circular contains important information about the Meeting and business to be conducted including voting details, the nominated directors, appointment of auditors, executive compensation and the Stock Option Plan at enCore. You will find our Annual Information Form, Consolidated Year End Financial Statements and Management’s Disclosure & Analysis on our website which provides detailed business and financial information. This year we will publish our 1^st Annual Report, which outlines our business plan, objectives and goals as we push towards becoming the leading provider of domestic uranium, through ISR, in the United States, a critical component for the delivery of clean, reliable nuclear energy in an ever-changing world with growing demands on the electric grid. All of this information is available on www.encoreuranium.com, in downloadable format, or by request in hard copy by contacting info@encoreuranium.com.

I encourage you to review all of our corporate documents, to familiarize yourself with our business goals, operational framework and results, in advance of the Meeting. I also encourage all Shareholders to participate in the election process and to vote well in advance of the Meeting. Your vote is important.

enCore appreciates your continued support and participation in the Annual General Meeting. We are excited about the current market conditions for enCore, uranium and nuclear energy and look forward to the year ahead.

MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR

as at May 12, 2023

This management information circular (“Information Circular”) is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by management of enCore Energy Corp. (the “Company”) for use at the annual general meeting (the “Meeting”) of shareholders of the Company (the “Shareholders”) to be held on June 21, 2023 at 9:00am Pacific Time and any adjournment or postponement thereof, for the purposes set forth in the attached notice of Meeting. Except where otherwise indicated, the information contained herein is stated as of May 12, 2023.

In this Information Circular, references to the “Company” and “we” refer to enCore Energy Corp. “Common Shares” means common shares without par value in the capital of the Company. “Registered Shareholders” means Shareholders whose names appear on the records of the Company as the registered holders of Common Shares. “Non-Registered Shareholders” means Shareholders who do not hold Common Shares in their own name. “Intermediaries” refers to brokers, investment firms, clearing houses and similar entities that own securities on behalf of Non-Registered Shareholders. Unless otherwise indicated, all references in this Information Circular to “$” refer to Canadian dollars.

GENERAL PROXY INFORMATION

Solicitation of Proxies

The solicitation of proxies will be primarily by mail, but proxies may be solicited personally or by telephone by directors, officers and regular employees of the Company. The Company will bear all costs of this solicitation. We have arranged to send meeting materials directly to Registered Shareholders, as well as Non-Registered Shareholders who have consented to their ownership information being disclosed by the Intermediary holding the Common Shares on their behalf (non-objecting beneficial owners). We have not arranged for Intermediaries to forward the meeting materials to Non-Registered Shareholders who have objected to their ownership information being disclosed by the Intermediary holding the Common Shares on their behalf (objecting beneficial owners) under National Instrument 54-101 Communication with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer (“NI 54-101”). As a result, objecting beneficial owners will not receive the Information Circular and associated meeting materials unless their Intermediary assumes the costs of delivery.

Appointment and Revocation of Proxies

The individuals named in the accompanying form of proxy (the “Proxy”) are officers or directors of the Company, or solicitors for the Company. If you are a Registered Shareholder, you have the right to attend the Meeting or vote by proxy and to appoint a person or company other than the person designated in the Proxy, who need not be a Shareholder, to attend and act for you and on your behalf at the Meeting. You may do so either by inserting the name of that other person in the blank space provided in the Proxy or by completing and delivering another suitable form of Proxy.

If you are a Registered Shareholder you may wish to vote by proxy whether or not you are able to attend the Meeting in person. Registered Shareholders electing to submit a proxy may do so by completing, dating and signing the enclosed form of proxy and returning it to the Company’s transfer agent, Computershare Investor Services Inc. (“Computershare”), in accordance with the instructions on the Proxy.

In all cases you should ensure that the Proxy is received at least 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) before the Meeting or the adjournment thereof at which the Proxy is to be used.

Every Proxy may be revoked by an instrument in writing:

(i)

executed by the Registered Shareholder or by his/her attorney authorized in writing or, where the Registered Shareholder is a company, by a duly authorized officer or attorney of the company; and

(ii)

delivered either to the registered office of the Company at any time up to and including the last business day preceding the day of the Meeting or any adjournment thereof, at which the Proxy is to be used, or to the chairman of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting or any adjournment thereof,

or in any other manner provided by law.

- 2 -

Only Registered Shareholders have the right to revoke a Proxy. Non-Registered Shareholders who wish to change their vote must, at least seven days before the Meeting, arrange for their respective Intermediaries to revoke the Proxy on their behalf. If you are a Non-Registered Shareholder, see “Voting by Non-Registered Shareholders” below for further information on how to vote your Common Shares.

Exercise of Discretion by Proxyholder

If you vote by proxy, the persons named in the Proxy (the “Proxyholder”) will vote or withhold from voting the Common Shares represented thereby in accordance with your instructions on any ballot that may be called for. If you specify a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon, your Common Shares will be voted accordingly. The Proxy confers discretionary authority on the persons named therein with respect to:

(i)

each matter or group of matters identified therein for which a choice is not specified,

(ii)

any amendment to or variation of any matter identified therein,

(iii)

any other matter that properly comes before the Meeting, and

(iv)

the exercise of discretion of the Proxyholder.

In respect of a matter for which a choice is not specified in the Proxy, the persons named in the Proxy will vote the Common Shares represented by the Proxy for the approval of such matter. Management is not currently aware of any other matters that could come before the Meeting.

Voting by Non-Registered Shareholders

The following information is of significant importance to Shareholders who do not hold Common Shares in their own name. Non-Registered Shareholders should note that the only Proxies that can be recognized and acted upon at the Meeting are those deposited by Registered Shareholders.

If Common Shares are listed in an account statement provided to a Shareholder by an Intermediary, then in almost all cases those Common Shares will not be registered in the Shareholder’s name on the records of the Company. Such Common Shares will more likely be registered under the name of the Shareholder’s Intermediary or an agent of that Intermediary. In the United States, the vast majority of such Common Shares are registered under the name of Cede & Co. (the registration name for the Depository Trust Company, which acts as nominee for many U.S. brokerage firms), and in Canada, under the name of CDS & Co. (the registration name for the Canadian Depository for Securities Limited, which acts as nominee for many Canadian brokerage firms).

If you have consented to disclosure of your ownership information, you will receive a request for voting instructions from the Company (through Computershare). If you have declined to disclose your ownership information, you may receive a request for voting instructions from your Intermediary if they have assumed the cost of delivering the Information Circular and associated meeting materials. Every Intermediary has its own mailing procedures and provides its own return instructions to clients. However, most Intermediaries now delegate responsibility for obtaining voting instructions from clients to Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”) in the United States and in Canada.

If you are a Non-Registered Shareholder, you should carefully follow the instructions on the voting instruction form received from Computershare or Broadridge in order to ensure that your Common Shares are voted at the Meeting. The voting instruction form supplied to you will be similar to the Proxy provided to the Registered Shareholders by the Company. However, its purpose is limited to instructing the Intermediary on how to vote on your behalf.

- 3 -

The voting instruction form sent by Computershare or Broadridge will name the same persons as the Company’s proxy to represent you at the Meeting. Although as a Non-Registered Shareholder you may not be recognized directly at the Meeting for the purposes of voting Common Shares registered in the name of your Intermediary, you, or a person designated by you (who need not be a Shareholder), may attend at the Meeting as Proxyholder for your Intermediary and vote your Common Shares in that capacity. To exercise this right to attend the meeting or appoint a Proxyholder of your own choosing, you should insert your own name or the name of the desired representative in the blank space provided in the voting instruction form. Alternatively, you may provide other written instructions requesting that you or your desired representative attend the Meeting as Proxyholder for your Intermediary. The completed voting instruction form or other written instructions must then be returned in accordance with the instructions on the form.

If you receive a voting instruction form from Computershare or Broadridge, you cannot use it to vote Common Shares directly at the Meeting - the voting instruction form must be completed as described above and returned in accordance with its instructions well in advance of the Meeting in order to have the Common Shares voted.

Notice to Shareholders Not Resident in Canada

The Corporation is organized under the laws of Canada and is a foreign private issuer within the meaning of Rule 3b-4 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "U.S. Exchange Act"). The solicitation of proxies for the Meeting is not subject to the proxy requirements of Section 14(a) of the U.S. Exchange Act, and Regulation 14A thereunder, by virtue of an exemption available to proxy solicitations by foreign private issuers. Accordingly, the solicitation contemplated herein is being made to United States Shareholders only in accordance with Canadian corporate and securities laws and this Circular has been prepared solely in accordance with disclosure requirements applicable in Canada. United States Shareholders should be aware that such requirements are different from those of the United States applicable to proxy statements under the U.S. Exchange Act. Specifically, information contained or incorporated by reference herein has been prepared in accordance with Canadian disclosure standards, which are not comparable in all respects to United States disclosure standards.

The enforcement by Shareholders of civil liabilities under the United States federal and state securities laws may be affected adversely by the fact that the Corporation is incorporated or organized outside the United States, that some or all of its officers and directors and the experts named herein are residents of a country other than the United States, and that all or a substantial portion of the assets of the Corporation and such persons are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult or impossible for the United States Shareholders to effect service of process within the United States upon the Corporation, its officers and directors or the experts named herein, or to realize against them upon judgments of courts of the United States predicated upon civil liabilities under the federal securities laws of the United States or any state securities laws. In addition, the United States Shareholders should not assume that the courts of Canada: (a) would enforce judgments of United States courts obtained in actions against such persons predicated upon civil liabilities under the federal securities laws of the United States or any state securities laws, or (b) would enforce, in original actions, liabilities against such persons predicated upon civil liabilities under the federal securities laws of the United States or any state securities laws.

INTEREST OF CERTAIN PERSONS OR COMPANIES IN MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON

Except as disclosed herein, no person or company has any material interest, direct or indirect, by way of beneficial ownership of securities or otherwise, in any matter to be acted upon at the Meeting other than the election of directors or the appointment of auditors. For the purpose of this paragraph, “person” shall include each person: (a) who has been a director, senior officer or insider of the Company at any time since the commencement of the Company’s last financial year; (b) who is a proposed nominee for election as a director of the Company; or (c) who is an associate or affiliate of a person or company included in subparagraph (a) or (b) above.

RECORD DATE AND QUORUM

The board of directors (the “Board”) of the Company has fixed the record date for the Meeting as the close of business on May 12, 2023 (the “Record Date”). Shareholders of record as at the Record Date are entitled to receive notice of the Meeting and to vote their Common Shares at the Meeting, except to the extent that any such Shareholder transfers any Common Shares after the Record Date and the transferee of those Common Shares establishes that the transferee owns the Common Shares and demands, not less than ten (10) days before the Meeting, that the transferee’s name be included in the list of Shareholders entitled to vote at the Meeting, in which case, only such transferee shall be entitled to vote such Common Shares at the Meeting.

- 4 -

Under the Company’s articles, the quorum for the transaction of business at a meeting of Shareholders is one person who is a Shareholder, or who is otherwise permitted to vote Common Shares of the Company at a meeting of Shareholders, present in person or by proxy.

VOTING SECURITIES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS OF VOTING SECURITIES

On the Record Date, there were 143,283,688 Common Shares issued and outstanding, with each Common Share carrying the right to one vote. Only Shareholders of record at the close of business on the Record Date will be entitled to vote in person or by Proxy at the Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof.

To the knowledge of the directors and executive officers of the Company, as of the Record Date, no Shareholders beneficially own, or exercise control or direction over, directly or indirectly, Common Shares carrying 10% or more of the votes attached to the issued and outstanding Common Shares.

PARTICULARS OF MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON

To the knowledge of the Company’s directors, the only matters to be placed before the Meeting are those set forth in the accompanying notice of Meeting and more particularly discussed below.

ITEM 1. Presentation of Financial Statements

The annual consolidated financial statements of the Company for the financial year ended December 31, 2022, together with the auditor’s report thereon, will be placed before the Meeting. The Company’s financial statements are available on the System of Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval (SEDAR) website at www.sedar.com.

ITEM 2. Fixing the Number of Directors and Election of Directors

The Company proposes to fix the number of directors of the Company at seven (7) and to nominate the persons listed below for election as directors. Each director will hold office until the next annual general meeting of the Company or until their successor is elected or appointed, unless their office is earlier vacated. Management does not contemplate that any of the nominees will be unable to serve as a director. If, prior to the Meeting, any vacancies occur in the slate of nominees herein listed, it is intended that discretionary authority shall be exercised by the person named in the Proxy as nominee to vote the Common Shares represented by Proxy for the election of any other person or persons as directors.

Pursuant to the advance notice provisions contained in the Company’s Articles (the “Advance Notice Provisions”), the Board has determined that notice of nominations of persons for election to the Board at the Meeting must be made following the requirements of such Advance Notice Provisions. To the date of this Information Circular, the Company has not received notice of a nomination in compliance with the Articles and, subject to the timely receipt of any such nomination, any nominations other than nominations by or at the direction of the Board or an authorized officer of the Company will be disregarded at the Meeting.

The Board has adopted a Majority Voting Policy stipulating that Shareholders are entitled to vote in favour of, or withhold from voting for, each individual director nominee at a shareholders meeting. If the number of Common Shares “withheld” for any nominee exceeds the number of Common Shares voted “for” the nominee, then, notwithstanding that such director was duly elected as a matter of corporate law, the director shall immediately tender their written resignation to the Board. The Board of Directors shall determine whether or not to accept the resignation within 90 days following the applicable shareholders’ meeting. Any director who tenders his or her resignation pursuant to this policy shall not participate in the deliberations of the Committee or the Board of Directors regarding the resignation. The resignation will be effective when accepted by the Board of Directors. If a resignation is accepted, the Board of Directors may leave the resulting vacancy unfilled until the next annual general meeting or it may fill the vacancy through the appointment of a new director. Following the Board of Director’s decision on the resignation, the Board of Directors shall promptly disclose, via press release, its decision whether or not to accept the director’s proposed resignation.

The following tables set out the names of the management nominees; their positions and offices in the Company; principal occupations; the period of time that they have been directors of the Company; and the number of Common Shares which each beneficially owns or over which control or direction is exercised.

ITEM 4. Approval of Stock Option Plan

The Company currently has in effect a stock option plan dated November 30, 2021 (the “Stock Option Plan”), the purpose of which is to advance the interests of the Company and its shareholders by (a) ensuring that the interests of officers and employees are aligned with the success of the Company; (b) encouraging stock ownership by such persons; and (c) providing compensation opportunities to attract, retain and motivate such persons. The Stock Option Plan provides optionees with the opportunity through the exercise of options to acquire an ownership interest in the Company.

In accordance with the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange”), a plan with a rolling 10% maximum must be confirmed by shareholders at each annual general meeting.

Terms of the Stock Option Plan

The following is a summary of the material terms of the current Stock Option Plan:

Eligible Optionees. Under the Stock Option Plan, the Company can grant options (the “Options”) to acquire Common Share to directors, officers and consultants of the Company or affiliates of the Company, as well as to employees of the Company and its subsidiaries.

Number of Shares Reserved. The number of Common Shares which may be issued pursuant to Options granted under the Stock Option Plan may not exceed 10% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares from time to time at the date of the grant of Options.

Number of Shares Held by a Consultant. The maximum number of Common Shares which may be issued pursuant to Options granted to a consultant under the Stock Option Plan is limited to an amount equal to 2% of the then issued and outstanding Common Shares (on a non-diluted basis) in any 12-month period.

Number of Shares Held by Persons Performing Investor Relations. The maximum number of Common Shares which may be issued pursuant to Options granted to all persons in aggregate who are employed to perform investor relations activities is limited to an amount equal to 2% of the then issued and outstanding Common Shares (on a non-diluted basis) in any 12-month period, provided that such Options vest in stages over a 12-month period with no more than ¼ of the Options vesting in any 3-month period.

Maximum Term of Options. The term of any Options granted under the Plan is fixed by the Board and may not exceed five years from the date of grant.

The purpose of this section is to provide disclosure of all compensation earned by directors and certain executive officers in connection with their position as a director or officer of, or consultant to, the Company.

For the purposes of this Information Circular:

(b)

(c)

each of the three most highly compensated executive officers of the Company, including any of its subsidiaries, or the three most highly compensated individuals acting in a similar capacity, other than the CEO and the CFO, at the end of the most recently completed financial year, whose total compensation was, individually, more than $150,000, as determined in accordance with subsection 1.3(6) of Form 51-102F6 for the financial year ended December 31, 2022; and

(d)

Peter Luthiger	Chief Operating Officer
Gregory Zerzan	Chief Administrative Officer

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

The Company’s compensation policies and programs are designed to be competitive with similar mining companies and to recognize and reward executive performance consistent with the success of the Company’s business. These policies and programs are intended to attract and retain capable and experienced people while complying with regulatory requirements. The compensation committee’s (the “Compensation Committee”) role and philosophy, among other things, are to ensure that the Company’s compensation goals and objectives, as applied to the actual compensation paid to the Company’s CEO and other executive officers, are aligned with the Company’s overall business objectives and with shareholder interests.

In addition to industry comparables, the Compensation Committee considers a variety of factors when determining both compensation policies and programs and individual compensation levels. These factors include the long-range interests of the Company and its Shareholders, the implications of the risks associated with the Company’s compensation policies and practices in light of the financial performance of the Company, the overall financial and operating performance of the Company and the Compensation Committee’s assessment of each executive’s individual performance and contribution toward meeting corporate objectives. Since last year’s Meeting, neither the Board nor the Compensation Committee of the Company has proceeded to a formal evaluation of the implications of the risks associated with the Company’s compensation policies and practices. Risk management is a consideration of the Board when implementing its compensation programme, and the Board does not believe that the Company’s compensation programme results in unnecessary or inappropriate risk taking including risks that are likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company.

- 19 -

The current members of the Compensation Committee are William B. Harris, Mark S. Pelizza, and Richard M. Cherry. The function of the Compensation Committee is to assist the Board in fulfilling its responsibilities relating to the compensation practices of the executive officers of the Company. The Compensation Committee has been empowered to review the compensation levels of the executive officers of the Company and to report thereon to the Board; to review the strategic objectives of the stock option and other stock-based compensation plans of the Company; and to consider any other matters which, in the Compensation Committee’s judgment, should be taken into account in reaching the recommendation to the Board concerning the compensation levels of the Company’s executive officers. The Board has adopted a charter for the Compensation Committee.

Report on Executive Compensation

This report on executive compensation has been authorized by the Compensation Committee. The Board assumes responsibility for reviewing and monitoring the long-range compensation strategy for the senior management of the Company although the Compensation Committee guides it in this role. The Board determines the type and amount of compensation for the CEO. The Board also reviews the compensation of the Company’s senior executives.

Philosophy and Objectives

The compensation program for the senior management of the Company is designed to ensure that the level and form of compensation achieves certain objectives, including:

(a) attracting and retaining talented, qualified and effective executives;

(b) motivating the short and long-term performance of these executives; and

In compensating its senior management, the Company has employed a combination of base salary, bonus plan and equity participation through its stock option plan.

Elements of the Compensation Program

The significant elements of compensation awarded to the NEOs (as defined above) are a cash salary, bonus plan based on corporate goals set by the Board and stock options. With the exception of the stock option plan, the Company does not presently have any other long-term incentive plan for its NEOs. There is no policy or target regarding allocation between cash and noncash elements of the Company’s compensation program. The Compensation Committee reviews annually the total compensation package of each of the Company’s executives on an individual basis, against the backdrop of the compensation goals and objectives described above, and make recommendations to the Board concerning the individual components of their compensation.

Cash Salary

As a general rule, the Company seeks to offer its NEOs a compensation package that is in line with the Company’s fiscal resources and competitive with other companies in the mineral exploration industry of a similar size at a similar stage of development, and as an immediate means of rewarding the NEOs for efforts expended on behalf of the Company.

Bonus Plan

The Company’s current Executive Chairman, CEO, CFO and Chief Technical Officer (“CTO”) are eligible to receive a cash bonus, up to a certain percentage of base salary, which will be paid in accordance with the determination of enCore’s Compensation Committee and recommendation to the Board for approval, based on a number of agreed metrics including: a) financial condition of enCore; b) predetermined corporate and personal goals established between enCore and the individual; and c) share price performance.

The Company’s current Executive Chairman and CEO are also eligible to receive a special bonus that will be established by enCore for exceptional achievements as measured by enCore’s market capitalization, its growth profile in assets or by any other metrics as reviewed by the Compensation Committee and recommended for approval by the Board.

- 20 -

Equity Participation

The Company believes that encouraging its executives and employees to become Shareholders is the best way of aligning their interests with those of its Shareholders. Equity participation is accomplished through the Company’s stock option plan. Stock options are granted to executive officers taking into account a number of factors, including the amount and term of options previously granted, base salary and bonuses and the Company’s goals.

Use of Financial Instruments

The Company does not have a policy that would prohibit a NEO or director from purchasing financial instruments, including prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars or units of exchange funds, that are designed to hedge or offset a decrease in market value of equity securities granted as compensation or held, directly or indirectly, by the NEO or director. However, Management is not aware of any NEO or director purchasing such an instrument.

Perquisites and Other Personal Benefits

The Company’s NEOs are not generally entitled to significant perquisites or other personal benefits not offered to the Company’s other employees.

Performance Graph

The graph below compares the Company’s total shareholder return on a $100 investment in Common Shares to the total return to the S&P/TSX SmallCap Index. Total Return Index Value for the period commencing January 4, 2021 and ending December 30, 2022.

The S&P/TSX SmallCap Index was created to address the needs of investment managers requiring a portfolio index of the small cap market segment of the Canadian equity market, of which the Company would be considered a part of. Securities must be between $100 million and $1.5 billion in market capitalization and must have a minimum volume weighted average price of $1.00 over the last three trading days of the month-end prior to an annual review. During the period covered by the performance graph, the Company has exceeded the performance of the benchmark by 22%. Given the Company’s market capitalization size and size of operations upon inception of the Company, volatility has been higher than that of the benchmark. Accordingly, the Company’s successful performance over a two-year period has resulted in a return premium relative to the benchmark.

The Company’s management compensation is tied to the performance of certain company-specific metrics including but not limited to revenue performance. Each NEOs bonus payout was determined primarily by the Company’s annual financial performance resulting in awards that have a meaningful direct link to the Company’s financial results for the fiscal year.

- 21 -

Share-based and Option-based Awards

The Company currently has in effect the Stock Option Plan, the purpose of which is to advance the interests of the Company and its Shareholders by (a) ensuring that the interests of officers and employees are aligned with the success of the Company; (b) encouraging stock ownership by such persons; and (c) providing compensation opportunities to attract, retain and motivate such persons. The Stock Option Plan provides optionees with the opportunity through the exercise of options to acquire an ownership interest in the Company.

The Stock Option Plan is administered by the Board (with certain responsibilities delegated to the Option Grant Committee in regards to considering grants to employees and consultants who aren’t directors or executive officers of the Company) that determines, from time to time the eligibility of persons to participate in the Stock Option Plan, when options will be granted, the number of common shares subject to each option, the exercise price of each option, the expiration date of each option and the vesting period for each option, in each case in accordance with applicable securities laws and stock exchange requirements.

It is not the Company’s practice to grant stock options to existing executive officers on an annual basis, but grants of stock options will be considered as the circumstances of the Company and the contributions of the individual warrant. Previous grants of options are taken into account when considering new grants as part of the Company’s plan to achieve its objective of retaining quality personnel.

As at the date of the Circular, the Company has options outstanding under the Stock Option Plan to purchase 7,048,236 Common Shares, representing 49.19% of the available options, and 4.91% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares, as at that date. Accordingly, 7,280,123 options remain available for grant under the Stock Option Plan. These numbers reflect the share consolidation completed by the Company on September 14, 2022.

Compensation Governance

The Board has established a Compensation Committee comprised of three directors; William B. Harris, Mark S. Pelizza, and Richard M. Cherry. All members are considered independent members of the Compensation Committee. The function of the Compensation Committee is to review, on an annual basis, the compensation paid to the Company’s executive officers and to the directors, and to make recommendations to the Board on the Company’s compensation policies. In addition, the Committee reviews the Company’s succession plans for the CEO and makes recommendations with respect to severance paid to executives. The Board is responsible for approving stock option grants and administering the Stock Option Plan. The process adopted with respect to the review of compensation for the Company’s directors and senior officers is set out under the heading “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” above.

The Compensation Committee members’ collective experience in leadership roles, their extensive knowledge of the mining industry and their experience in operations, financial matters and corporate strategy provide the Compensation Committee with the collective skills, knowledge and experience necessary to effectively carry out its mandate.

The Company did not retain a compensation consultant or advisor at any time during the Company’s most recently completed financial year.

The following table (presented in accordance with Form 51-102F6) sets forth all direct and indirect compensation for, or in connection with, services provided to the Company and its subsidiaries for the financial years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 in respect of the NEOs of the Company.

The fair value of option-based awards is determined by the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model with the following assumptions:

For the financial year ended December 31, 2022
Risk-free interest rate:	2.06%
Expected dividend yield:	0%
Expected volatility:	116.48%
Expected life of option:	4.9 years

For the financial year ended December 31, 2021
Risk-free interest rate:	0.88 %
Expected dividend yield:	0.00 %
Expected volatility:	128.79%
Expected life of option:	5 years

For the financial year ended December 31, 2020
Risk-free interest rate:	0.40%
Expected dividend yield:	0.00%
Expected volatility:	169.3%
Expected life of option:	5 years

enCore has chosen the Black-Scholes methodology to calculate the grant date fair value of option-based awards as it is widely used by US and Canadian public companies in estimating option-based compensation values.

STATEMENT OF CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

The following description of the Company’s corporate governance practices is provided in accordance with the requirements of National Instrument 58-101 Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices (“NI 58-101”) and Form 58-101F1 Corporate Governance Disclosure thereunder.

Board of Director

Composition of the Board

The composition of the Board currently consists of the following seven members: W. Paul Goranson, William M. Sheriff, Dennis E. Stover, William B. Harris, Mark S. Pelizza, Richard M. Cherry, and Susan Hoxie-Key. It is proposed that all seven individuals will be nominated for election at the Meeting.

There are currently four Board members, William B. Harris, Mark S. Pelizza, Richard M. Cherry, and Susan Hoxie-Key, who are considered to be independent for purposes of membership on the Board. For this purpose, a director is independent if they have no direct or indirect “material relationship” with the Company. A “material relationship” is a relationship which could, in the view of the Board, be reasonably expected to interfere with the exercise of the director’s independent judgment. Of the proposed nominees, W. Paul Goranson (CEO), Dennis Stover (Chief Technical Officer) and William M. Sheriff (Executive Chairman) are considered to be non-independent directors.

Other Directorships

The following table sets forth the directors of the Company who are currently directors of other reporting issuers as at May 12, 2023:

Name of Director	Name of Other Reporting Issuer
W. Paul Goranson	N/A
Dennis E. Stover	N/A
William M. Sheriff	C2C Gold Corp.
William B. Harris	Scandium International Mining Corp.
Mark S. Pelizza	N/A
Richard M. Cherry	N/A
Susan Hoxie-Key	N/A

Independent Director Meetings

The independent directors do not hold regularly scheduled meetings at which non-independent directors and members of management are not in attendance.

In order to facilitate open and candid discussion among independent directors, communication among the independent directors occurs on an informal and ongoing basis as such need arises.

Chair of the Board

The Board has concluded that William M. Sheriff, the Chair of the Board, is not an independent director. See “Composition of the Board” above.

As the Chair of the Board is not independent, the directors shall select from among the directors, an individual who will act as “Lead Director” and who will assume responsibility for providing leadership to enhance the effectiveness and independence of the Board. The Board will consider, on an ongoing basis, whether additional structures or processes are required to permit it to function independently of management of the Company.

- 31 -

Attendance

During the financial year ended December 31, 2022, the Board held eleven (11) meetings and the Company’s audit committee (the “Audit Committee”) held five (5) meetings. The following summarizes the attendance record of directors for each of such meetings.

Name	Board Meetings	Audit Committee Meetings
W. Paul Goranson	11 out of 11	N/A
Dennis E. Stover	10 out of 11	N/A
William M. Sheriff	11out of 11	N/A
William B. Harris	10 out of 11	5 out of 5
Mark S. Pelizza	11 out of 11	3 out of 3⁽¹⁾
Richard M. Cherry	11 out of 11	5 out of 5
Susan Hoxie-Key	7 out of 7⁽²⁾	2 out of 2⁽³⁾

Notes:

(1)

Mr. Pelizza was previously appointed as a member of the Audit Committee until August 17, 2022.

(2)

Susan Hoxie-Key was appointed as a director on June 22, 2022 and accordingly did not attend Board Meetings prior to her appointment.

(3)

Ms. Hoxie Key was appointed as a member of the Audit Committee on August 17, 2022 and accordingly did not attend Audit Committee Meetings prior to her appointment.

Each director endeavours to attend all Board meetings. On occasion, they may not be able to do so as a result of travel schedules, access to communication or personal situations or time zone restrictions. Management makes significant efforts to provide reasonable notice to the directors when scheduling meetings. However, as situations arise, and decisions are required, not all meetings will be able to accommodate the schedules of all individuals. In those cases, the director chooses a fellow director or the CEO to discuss and represent their views at the meeting by proxy.

Board Mandate

The Board has adopted a Board Mandate, the text of which is attached as Appendix “A” to this Information Circular.

Position Descriptions

The Board has adopted a position description for the CEO. The Board has not yet adopted position descriptions for the Chair of the Board, the chair of each Board committee, or the Lead Director. The Board is in the process of preparing such position descriptions and intends to adopt them during the 2023 financial year. The descriptions for these positions will delineate the role and responsibilities of the Chair, the chair of each Board committee, and the Lead Director.

In the interim, the Board expects the CEO and its management team to be responsible for management of the Company’s operations and to execute the decisions of the Board. The Board expects to be advised on a regular basis as to the results being achieved, and to be presented for approval all material plans and strategies, in keeping with the Company’s overall strategic direction as determined by the Board. In addition to those matters which by law must be approved by the Board, prior approval by the Board (or a committee thereof) is required for all matters of policy and all actions proposed to be taken by the Company which are not in the ordinary course of its operations. In particular, the Board approves the appointment of all executive officers of the Company and approves all material transactions.

Orientation and Continuing Education

When new directors are elected or appointed, they receive orientation on the Company’s business, current projects, reports on operations and results, public disclosure filings by the Company, reports on industry, and the responsibilities of directors. With respect to continuing education, Board meetings may include presentations by the Company’s management and employees to give the directors additional insight into the Company’s business. In addition, management of the Company makes itself available for discussion with all Board members on an ongoing basis.

All of the Company’s directors are in various stages of working towards the National Association of Corporate Directors’ Directorship Certification Program, with the goal of everyone completing before the end of 2023.

- 32 -

Ethical Business Conduct

The Board has adopted a written code of conduct applicable to directors, officers, employees, consultants and contractors of the Company, entitled “Code of Business Conduct and Ethics” (the “Code”). The Board monitors compliance with the Code through the Chair of the Audit Committee and the CEO. The Code provides that each person is personally responsible for and it is their duty to report violations or suspected violations of the Code, and that no person will be discriminated against for reporting what that person reasonably believes to be a breach of the Code or any law or regulation.

The Code also requires each director, officer, employee and consultant of the Company to fully disclose in writing his or her interest in respect of any transaction or agreement to be entered into by the Company. Once such an interest has been disclosed, the Chair of the Audit Committee or Board will determine what course of action should be taken.

A copy of the Code is available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and on the Company’s website at https://www.encoreuranium.com/.

The Company requires any director or officer who has a material interest in an entity which is a party to a proposed or actual material contract or transaction with the Company to disclose the nature and extent of such interest in writing to the Company, or at a meeting of directors. Directors are also required to comply with the Company’s “Timely Disclosure, Confidentiality and Insider Trading Policy”.

Nomination of Directors

The Governance and Nominating Committee identifies and makes recommendations to the Board on new candidates for board nomination by an informal process of discussion and consensus-building on the need for additional directors, the specific attributes being sought, likely prospects and timing. Prospective directors are not approached until consensus is reached.

Compensation

The Compensation Committee is responsible for reviewing and determining the adequacy and form of compensation paid to the Company’s directors, executives and key employees. The Compensation Committee evaluates the performance of senior management measured against the Company’s business goals and industry compensation levels.

Other Board Committees

Other than the Audit Committee and Compensation Committee, the Board has four standing committees: the Governance and Nominating Committee, the Option Grant Committee, the Investment Committee, and the Health, Safety, Environmental and Sustainability Committee.

The Governance and Nominating Committee assists the Board in developing the Company’s approach to corporate governance, including developing and monitoring a set of corporate governance principles and guidelines that are specifically applicable to the Company, and to identify and recommend to the Board qualified nominees for appointment or election as directors.

Where the Chair is not an independent director, the directors may select from among the directors, an individual who will act as “Lead Director” and who will assume responsibility for providing leadership to enhance the effectiveness and independence of the Board.
