Anfield Energy Inc. (TSX.V: AEC; OTCQB: ANLDF; FRANKFURT:
0AD) (“Anfield” or “the Company”) is pleased to
announce that it is to engage BRS, Inc., an engineering firm, to
complete an updated uranium and vanadium resource for its Slick
Rock property. The Company previously received final approvals for
its drill permit application to commence a 20-hole, 20,000-foot
rotary drill program at its Slick Rock uranium and vanadium
project, located in San Miguel County, Colorado. Anfield is in the
process of securing a local drilling contractor, after which it
will commence its 20-hole drill program at Slick Rock. Once the
drill program is complete, Anfield plans to both secure a large
mine permit for this property and use the drill results to upgrade
its uranium and vanadium resource for Slick Rock as found in its
existing PEA.
Corey Dias, Anfield’s CEO commented: “We are
very pleased to bring BRS onboard as we advance our Slick Rock
project. BRS previously completed a PEA for a combination of our
Slick Rock, Velvet-Wood and Shootaring mill projects; therefore,
leveraging that experience with the Company’s Slick Rock project –
post-drilling - to both confirm existing historical results and
provide an updated uranium and vanadium resource is warranted. As
we aim to meet the criteria for a large mine permit, followed by a
Plan of Operations, we intend to align the development timelines of
both the Slick Rock and Velvet-Wood mines. Our aim is to have both
ready for production prior to the restart of the Shootaring Canyon
mill, with initial feed ready for transport once the mill is ready
to receive it.”
Additionally, the Company announces that a
Director has provided a one-year loan of $1.65 million, with an
effective annual interest rate of 10%, for working capital
purposes. The loan is considered a “related party transaction” as
defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of
Minority Securityholders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The
Company has relied on the exemptions from the formal valuation and
minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 pursuant to
subsections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101, as the loan does not
exceed 25% of the Company’s market capitalization.

About Anfield
Anfield is a uranium and vanadium development
and near-term production company that is committed to becoming a
top-tier energy-related fuels supplier by creating value through
sustainable, efficient growth in its assets. Anfield is a publicly
traded corporation listed on the TSX-Venture Exchange (AEC-V), the
OTCQB Marketplace (ANLDF) and the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (0AD).
Anfield is focused on its conventional asset centre, as summarized
below:
Arizona/Utah/Colorado – Shootaring Canyon Mill
A key asset in Anfield’s portfolio is the
Shootaring Canyon Mill in Garfield County, Utah. The Shootaring
Canyon Mill is strategically located within one of the historically
most prolific uranium production areas in the United States, and is
one of only three licensed uranium mills in the United States.
Anfield’s conventional uranium assets consist of
mining claims and state leases in southeastern Utah, Colorado, and
Arizona, targeting areas where past uranium mining or prospecting
occurred. Anfield’s conventional uranium assets include the
Velvet-Wood Project, the Frank M Uranium Project, the West Slope
Project, as well as the Findlay Tank breccia pipe. A NI 43-101 PEA
has been completed for the Velvet-Wood Project. The PEA is
preliminary in nature, and includes inferred mineral resources that
are considered too speculative geologically to have economic
considerations applied to them that would enable them to be
categorized as mineral reserves and, resultantly, there is no
certainty that the included preliminary economic assessment would
be realized. All conventional uranium assets are situated within a
200-mile radius of the Shootaring Mill.
