enCore Energy Provides Support to the Navajo Nation Communities
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, June 04, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- enCore Energy Corp. (TSX-V: EU) (OTCQB: ENCUF) (the "Company") reports that it has sourced and donated much needed medical supplies and personal protective equipment to several Navajo communities. The Company holds numerous projects within the traditional territory of the Navajo Nation, which has one of the highest incidents of coronavirus cases per capita in the United States. Although the peak appears to have passed, fears persist for Native Americans where pre-existing health and living conditions make populations especially vulnerable to the pandemic.
enCore Energy has provided medical supplies and personal protective equipment directly to medical and other facilities for the Navajo Nation including the:
- Navajoland Nursing Home, Chinle, Arizona
- Chinle Comprehensive Health Care Facility, Chinle, Arizona
- St. Paul Catholic Church in Crownpoint, New Mexico
- Crownpoint Health Care Facility, Crownpoint, New Mexico
- Churchrock Chapter, Churchrock, New Mexico
- Gallup Indian Medical Center, Gallup, New Mexico
- Northern Navajo Medical Center, Shiprock, New Mexico
- Navajo Police Headquarters, Windowrock, Arizona
- Utah Farm Bureau-Farmers Feeding Utah: Miracle Utah Navajo Nation
Our thoughts and prayers are with the communities and as we seek to do our part and encourage others to contribute and uphold social distancing guidelines to protect all Navajo Elders and citizens in this challenging time.
enCore wishes to acknowledge and thank Adela M. Duran of Santa Fe New Mexico, without whose dedicated assistance in coordinating many of these donations, our efforts would not have been possible.
