Chief Technical Officer
Over his 50-year career, Dr. Stover remained at the center of ISR’s technical and operational advancement. He contributed to early field programs, helped refine the chemistry and hydrology behind uranium recovery and aquifer restoration, and was directly involved in translating laboratory theory into large-scale production. At a time when ISR was still unproven, he helped make it work—and helped ensure it worked safely and sustainably.
Dr. Stover held senior roles with some of the most influential uranium companies in the ISR space. He served as Chief Engineer for Everest Minerals Corporation, Chief Operating Officer of Energy Metals Corporation, and Executive Vice President, Americas for Uranium One, where he oversaw the commercial development of assets across Texas, Wyoming, and beyond. He later served as Chief Executive Officer of enCore Energy, guiding the next chapter of ISR development in the United States.
His technical legacy is also deep and lasting. Dr. Stover holds six U.S. patents related to ISR uranium recovery and aquifer restoration and has co-authored multiple guidebooks for the International Atomic Energy Agency. He is widely recognized for both his innovation and his dedication to advancing ISR as a clean, practical solution to fuel the future of nuclear energy.
