The Registration Statement relates to the registration of 35,000,000 common shares with no par value (the “Common Shares”) to be distributed by the selling shareholder, enCore Energy Corp. (“enCore”), to the shareholders of enCore by way of a special distribution. enCore holds 35,000,000 Class A Preferred Shares of the Company which will, in accordance with their terms, convert to the Common Shares immediately prior to the record date for the special distribution.

In rendering the opinions herein, we have examined originals or copies of documents and have considered such questions of law and made such other investigations as we have deemed relevant or necessary.

The opinions hereinafter expressed are based upon legislation, rules and regulations in effect on the date hereof.

Subject to the foregoing qualifications, we are of the opinion that as at the date hereof, the Common Shares registered under the Registration Statement, shall be, upon conversion of the Class A Preferred Shares in accordance with their terms and the Registration Statement, duly and validly authorized and issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion with the SEC as Exhibit 5.1 to the Registration Statement and to the reference to us under the caption “Legal Matters” in the Registration Statement.
