Executive Summary

Anfield Energy Inc. announced a Mining Lease Agreement dated July 1, 2026, with Gold Eagle Mining Inc. for two additional patented mining claims in southwestern Colorado. The acquired properties are the Slick Rock Claim and the Paradox D Claim.

The lease is perpetual and royalty-free, requiring only annual property taxes for the Slick Rock Claim and comprehensive liability insurance. The claims will be integrated into the mine design and permitting for the JD-5 and Slick Rock projects, supporting the company's hub-and-spoke development model centered on the Shootaring Canyon Mill. The transaction expands Anfield's land position in the Uravan Belt uranium-vanadium district without requiring production-based payments.

This move is expected to reduce long-term operating costs and secure potential feedstock for the company’s operations.

Company Overview

Anfield Energy Inc. (AEC) operates a hub-and-spoke uranium and vanadium production strategy in the United States. The hub component is the Shootaring Canyon Mill in Utah, one of only three licensed conventional uranium mills in the country. The facility is currently undergoing refurbishment and license renewal, with plans to upgrade its capacity to 1,000 tons per day and 3 million pounds of U3O8 annually.

The spokes consist of a portfolio of past-producing and exploration assets in Utah and Colorado, including Velvet-Wood, Slick Rock, JD-5, JD-8, and SM-18. The company aims to leverage historical infrastructure and expedited federal and state permitting to restart production quickly, targeting domestic uranium and vanadium supply for the U.S. nuclear sector.
