ANFIELD COMPLETES CONFIRMATION DRILL PROGRAM AT JD-7 MINE AND PREPARES FOR RESOURCE UPDATE
Anfield Energy Inc. has completed a 20-hole, 8,000-foot confirmation drill program at its JD-7 mine, one of the five mines (JD5, JD-6, JD-7, JD-8 and JD-9) which make up the company's Paradox mine complex. The drill results will be incorporated into a new uranium and vanadium resource report in Q1 2026, alongside the additional drilling to be completed at the other JD mines.
Significant intercepts of mineralization from the program include:
-
17.0 feet grading an average of 5,190 parts per million (0.519 per cent) eU3O8 in hole JD7-25-004B, with a peak of 14,850 ppm (1.485 per cent) eU3O8 at 153.5 ft;
-
19.0 ft grading an average of 2,380 ppm (0.238 per cent) eU3O8 in hole JD7-25-005, with a peak of 9,240 ppm (0.924 per cent) eU3O8 at 170.0 ft;
-
17.0 ft grading an average of 1,620 ppm (0.162 per cent) eU3O8 in hole JD7-25-012, with a peak of 5,990 ppm (0.599 per cent) eU3O8 at 185.0 ft;
-
21.0 ft grading an average of 2,500 ppm (0.250 per cent) eU3O8 in hole JD7-25-014B, with a peak of 7,770 ppm (0.777 per cent) eU3O8 at 212.5 ft.
Corey Dias, Anfield's chief executive officer, commented: "We are very pleased with the drill results as they not only underscore the potential for resource confirmation and possible expansion at JD-7 but also align with Anfield's broader strategy to advance its portfolio of near-term uranium and vanadium projects toward production. To that end, the creation of the Paradox mine complex reflects our plans to create specific targeted uranium and vanadium production centres as we advance these grouped assets through mine planning and, ultimately, production through Anfield's Shootaring Canyon mill.
Following the success of the company's drill program at JD-7, Anfield will commence underground drilling at its remaining JD mines, after which the company will aim to issue an updated uranium resource for the Paradox mine complex which will now also incorporate the more-recently acquired JD-5 mine."
Drill program results
Drilling commenced on Sept. 15, 2025, and preliminary down hole gamma results have been highly encouraging. A total of 23 drill holes were performed over the 20 planned drilling targets. All drilling activities were completed on Oct. 9, 2025, with reclamation activities continuing to date. A total of 7,564 ft of drilling was performed of which 149 ft was performed by split barrel coring and the remainder was air rotary.
Drill hole results including depth, thickness and grade, as determined by down hole geophysical logging, are shown in Figure 1. Uranium grade is reported as equivalent weight per cent. For sandstone hosted uranium the grade thickness product (GT) is commonly used as an indication of the intensity of mineralization. Gamma ray logging results indicate elevated uranium mineralization exceeding the typical minimum cut-off grade of 0.02 per cent eU3O8 (200 ppm) eU3O8 and minimum grade thickness (GT) of 0.2 in 15 of the 23 drill holes completed. These findings verify the presence of uranium mineralization at depths and locations consistent with the historical drilling data set for the JD-7 mine.
The drilling results demonstrate robust uranium mineralization across the targeted areas, with eleven holes yielding a grade thickness (GT) over 0.5, indicating high-potential zones; six holes showing GT values between 0.1 and 0.5, reflecting moderate mineralization; five holes containing only trace mineralization and one drill hole containing no mineralization over the 0.02 per cent eU3O8 grade cutoff. The lower-strength intercepts are associated with the program's objective to delineate the outer boundaries of the mineralization, providing valuable data for refining resource models and supporting future mine planning and development at JD-7.
Next steps include obtaining assay of the core sample for closed can (radiometric) and chemical uranium and vanadium grades. These data will be used along with correlation to down hole geophysical logging to assess radiometric equilibrium and to verify the vanadium to uranium ratio (V:U).
The verification of the historic drill data, confirmation of radiometric equilibrium and verification of the vanadium uranium ratio will allow reassessment of the uranium and associated vanadium mineral resources at JD-7. The drill results will provide a higher level of confidence in the uranium and vanadium resource estimates.
Split barrel core intervals were obtained from five of the 23 drill holes at five of the 20 planned drilling locations. These corings will be employed to provide physical samples of mineralized material. Cored intervals were completed using split-barrel core aimed at drilling through the mineralized zones. Four of the five cored locations intercepted mineralization above the minimum grade cutoff.
The core samples were analyzed by two arm's-length laboratories: Pace Analytical of Sheridan, Wyo., and Hazen Research of Golden, Colo. These labs used chemical methods to: 1) determine both uranium and vanadium content to evaluate the vanadium-to-uranium ratio of the mineralization; 2) to provide data to validate the uranium gamma ray logging results; and 3) further refine the uranium and vanadium resource estimates for JD-7 lease. The cores can also be used for mineralogical and metallurgical testing. These data will enhance the accuracy of the geological model and supports Anfield's efforts to advance the project toward production readiness.
