Anfield Energy Inc. (TSX.V: AEC; OTCQB: ANLDF; FRANKFURT:
0AD) (“
Anfield” or the
“
Company”) is pleased to announce, further to its
news release of June 6, that it has completed the acquisition (the
“
Transaction”) of Neutron Energy, Inc.
(“
Neutron”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of enCore
Energy Corp. (NYSE American: EU; TSXV: EU) (“
enCore”), which holds the Marquez-Juan Tafoya
uranium project (“
Juan Tafoya”) located in the
Grants Uranium Mineral District, 50 miles west-northwest of
Albuquerque, New Mexico.
Corey Dias, Anfield’s CEO commented: “We are
pleased to complete the acquisition of the Marquez-Juan Tafoya
Uranium Project as it both reinforces our acquisition strategy
whereby we pursue advanced uranium and or vanadium projects.
Moreover, the addition of Marquez-Juan Tafoya - now our
largest-single uranium project, in terms of resource size -
significantly expands our uranium resource base.
“With a global nuclear renaissance underway, we
believe that our pursuit of advanced uranium deposits that will
facilitate near-term uranium production is critical at this time as
the global uranium supply deficit continues to grow. As Kazakhstan
pivots East to support China in its robust nuclear growth plans, an
important piece of US utility uranium supply is increasingly at
risk. This scenario highlights an unquestionable opportunity for
uranium producers in the US.
“To that end, we will continue to advance both
our near-term strategy, which centers on our advanced Utah and
Colorado uranium and vanadium projects – Velvet Wood, West Slope
and Slick Rock – underpinned by our wholly-owned Shootaring Canyon
mill, one of only three licensed conventional mills in the U.S. and
our longer-term production strategy, which includes the acquisition
of complementary assets with potential to feed additional uranium
and vanadium resource to our Shootaring Canyon mill. We believe
that Marquez-Juan Tafoya will both complement our existing
portfolio of assets and serve as part of our longer-term uranium
production strategy.”
As consideration for the acquisition of Neutron,
the Company has issued 185,000,000 common shares (the
“Consideration Shares”) to enCore and has agreed
to pay C$5,000,000 in cash (the “Consideration
Payment”). Pursuant to an agreement reached with enCore,
C$4,000,000 of the Consideration Payment was made at closing, with
the balance due and owing on or before September 25, 2023. The
Company has also granted enCore the right to nominate one director
to the board of the Company, to serve so long as enCore continues
to hold at least 10% of the outstanding shares of the Company.
During this time, enCore has agreed to vote the Consideration
Shares in support of any decisions made by management of the
Company. Eugene Spiering has been appointed to the board of
directors of the Company as the initial nominee of enCore.
The Company is at arms-length from enCore and
Neutron. The Consideration Shares are subject to statutory
restrictions on resale until November 20, 2023 in accordance with
applicable securities laws. No finders’ fees or commissions are
owing by the Company in connection with the Transaction. For
further information regarding Juan Tafoya, readers are encouraged
to review the news release issued by the Company on June 6,
2023.
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 Slick Rock Project, the West Slope
Project, the Frank M Uranium Project, as well as the Findlay Tank
breccia pipe. A combined NI 43-101 PEA has been completed for the
Velvet-Wood and Slick Rock Projects. 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.
