APPROVAL GRANTED: ANFIELD RECEIVES OFFICIAL GREENLIGHT FROM UTAH REGULATORS FOR VELVET-WOOD MINE CONSTRUCTION

Anfield Energy Inc. has received the required approval from the Utah Department of Oil, Gas and Mining (DOGM) for Anfield to commence the advancement of the company's Velvet-Wood uranium project in Utah to construction. The U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI) had previously approved the environmental permit for Velvet-Wood as it was previously selected as part of the federal government's national response to the energy emergency declared by President Donald J. Trump.

Corey Dias, chief executive officer of Anfield, commented: "We are very pleased to receive approval from the Utah Department of Oil, Gas and Mining for our Velvet-Wood project. Having achieved this critical milestone, Anfield's path is now clear to advance the Velvet-Wood mine to construction and, ultimately, to production. This reinforces our view that Velvet-Wood's status as a past-producing uranium and vanadium mine with a small environmental footprint is advantageous to the company's aim to pursue near-term production. The company will now pivot to advancing the project through the construction phase of its plan.

"With the plethora of nuclear-energy-related executive orders released by the administration in 2025, the path to sustained U.S. nuclear growth is being established, and Anfield's portfolio of uranium assets are well positioned to contribute to the fuel cycle."

Anfield will post the required increase in the Velvet-Wood reclamation bond with the Bureau of Land Management. With all of its uranium assets located in the United States, including the Shootaring Canyon mill -- one of only three licensed, permitted and constructed conventional uranium mills in the country -- Anfield is strategically positioned to help meet America's growing nuclear fuel needs. The U.S. consumes nearly 50 million pounds of uranium annually and yet produces less than 1 per cent of that total domestically.

About the Velvet-Wood mine

Anfield acquired the Velvet-Wood mine from Uranium One in 2015. Between 1979 and 1984, Atlas Minerals mined approximately 400,000 tons of ore from the Velvet deposit at grades of 0.46 per cent U3O8 (triuranium octoxide) and 0.64 per cent V2O5 (vanadium pentoxide), recovering approximately four million pounds of U3O8 and five million pounds of V2O5.

The current mineral resources (preliminary economic assessment) of the combined Velvet and Wood historical mines have been estimated to comprise 4.6 million pounds of eU3O8 (equivalent triuranium octoxide), at a grade of 0.29 per cent eU3O8 (measured and indicated resource), and 552,000 pounds of eU3O8, at a grade of 0.32 per cent U3O8 (inferred resource), with a vanadium-to-uranium ratio of 1.4 to 1.

In May, 2024, the company submitted its plan of operation for its Velvet-Wood mine to the State of Utah and the BLM. This step was undertaken as the company advances Velvet-Wood to production-ready status concurrently with the Shootaring Canyon mill. This plan of operation includes specific operating actions and controls, reclamation actions, an estimate of reclamation surety based on third party costs, and technical bases for how the actions meet the regulatory requirements of the State of Utah and the BLM. Past production at the mine includes four million pounds of uranium and five million pounds of vanadium.

Preliminary economic assessment (Shootaring Canyon mill, Velvet-Wood project and Slick Rock project)

Results of the PEA represent forward-looking information. This economic assessment is preliminary in nature and it includes inferred mineral resources that are considered too speculative, geologically, to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves. There is no certainty that the preliminary economic assessment will be realized. Mineral resources are not mineral reserves as they do not have demonstrated economic viability. For further information, readers are encouraged to review the PEA, which is available on the company's website and under the SEDAR+ profile for the company.
