Anfield Energy Inc. (TSX.V: AEC; OTCQB: ANLDF; FRANKFURT:
0AD) (“Anfield” or “the Company”) is pleased to
announce that it has commenced a 20-hole, 20,000-foot rotary drill
program at its Slick Rock uranium and vanadium project, located in
San Miguel County, Colorado. Anfield has engaged Tri Park
Corporation, a local drilling contractor, to conduct the drill
program, with Wyoming-based Hawkins CBM Logging to provide the
downhole geophysical logging and ore grade analysis. Once the drill
program is complete, Anfield plans to both secure a large mine
permit for the project 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 have engaged Tri Park Corp, a local contractor
operating out of Nucla, Colorado, to provide drilling services to
facilitate the advancement of our Slick Rock project. We have also
engaged Hawkins CBM Logging, a company operating out of Cody,
Wyoming, to provide downhole geophysical logging and ore grade
analysis. We expect that this program will both help to confirm
existing historical results and provide an updated uranium and
vanadium resource. Our intent remains 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.
“We have seen significant advancement of our
assets over the last few months: the submittal of the mill restart
application in April; the submittal of a Plan of Operations for the
Velvet-Wood mine in May; the receipt of approval for a drill
program at Slick Rock in June; and the confirmation of the
completeness review of the Shootaring mill restart application in
July. The commencement of drilling at Slick Rock will achieve
another important step in our “hub-and-spoke” strategy. It also
underscores our commitment to advancing to near-term uranium and
vanadium production and participating in the renaissance of the
uranium industry.
“With 439 nuclear reactors operating worldwide,
64 under construction and another 88 planned, it is clear that the
nuclear renaissance is well underway -- while risks to the
availability of adequate supply of uranium are becoming greater.
Some of the supply issues include: production cutbacks in
Kazakhstan; the pivot of its largest producer, Kazatomprom, to
primarily supply customers in Asia; political instability in
producing countries such as Niger; and the prospect of a U.S.
import ban on Russian fuel. This means that there is an increasing
need for a robust U.S. domestic uranium supply as it is critical to
energy independence and stability. Anfield is well positioned to
see the benefits of this emerging reality -- with the right assets,
at the right time, in the right place.”
CanaCom Group
The Company also announces that it has
terminated its existing engagement with 2686362 Ontario
Corporation, doing business as CanaCom Group, which was previously
announced by the Company in its news release of June 3, 2024. The
Company previously engaged CanaCom Group to produce articles and
video content for the Company for a twelve-month term which
commenced December 14, 2023. In connection with the engagement,
CanaCom Group participated in a private placement completed by the
Company on December 20, 2023 in the amount of $110,000. The
engagement of CanaCom Group has not been accepted by the TSX
Venture Exchange, as it does not meet the requirements prescribed
by Exchange Policy 3.4 which require that promotional activities be
compensated on a cash basis. Termination of the engagement is
effective August 14, 2024, and CanaCom Group has agreed that the
Company will have an available credit for the remaining four months
of the original engagement.

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.
