Anfield Energy Announces Lease of Additional Patented Mining Claims
Expanding Land Holdings for JD-5 and Slick Rock Projects
VANCOUVER, British Columbia – GLOBE NEWSWIRE – July 9, 2026 — Anfield Energy Inc.
(NASDAQ: AEC; TSX.V: AEC; FRANKFURT: 0AD) (“Anfield” or the “Company”) is pleased to
announce that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Highbury Resources Inc. (“Highbury”), has entered
into a Mining Lease Agreement (the “Lease”) dated July 1, 2026, with Gold Eagle Mining Inc.
(“Gold Eagle”) for two additional patented mining claims located in southwestern Colorado
(collectively, the “Properties”. The Properties will be added to Anfield’s existing property
holdings for the JD-5 and Slick Rock projects and will be incorporated into the upcoming mine
design and mine permitting activities for these two key assets.
The Properties subject to the Lease consist of:
• Slick Rock Claim: Legally described as S2NW4SE4 N2SE4SE4 SEC 30, T44N R18W NMPM,
San Miguel County, Colorado.
• Paradox D Claim: Legally described as NE4 of SEC 21, T46N, R17W , NMPM, Montrose
County, Colorado.
These additional Properties strategically expand Anfield’s land position in the prolific Uravan
Belt of the Colorado Plateau uranium-vanadium district. The Properties will be integrated into
the mine design and permitting workstreams for the JD-5 project (part of the Monogram Mesa /
JD project area) and the Slick Rock project complex. Both projects represent important potential
feed sources for Anfield’s hub-and-spoke development model, which is centered on the fully
permitted Shootaring Canyon Mill in Utah, as detailed in the Company’s recently updated
Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) filed in June 2026.
“We are pleased to have secured these additional patented claims on attractive, royalty-free
terms through our partnership with Gold Eagle Mining Inc. I want to thank Don Coram for
his support and for the productive working relationship we have developed. Anfield has made
excellent progress advancing the Shootaring Canyon Mill and V elvet-Wood Mine in Utah, as
well as the JD-8 Mine in Colorado. These new claims will provide additional flexibility as we
advance mine design and permitting for the JD-5 and Slick Rock projects as part of our hub-
and-spoke strategy. We look forward to continuing to work closely with Don and the Gold
Eagle team.”
— Corey Dias, Chief Executive Officer of Anfield Energy Inc.
“Anfield Energy has done an excellent job advancing its key projects, including the
Shootaring Canyon Mill and Velvet-Wood Mine in Utah, as well as the JD-8 Mine in
Colorado. Drawing from my experience serving in the Colorado House of Representatives
and State Senate representing the communities where these projects are located, I am excited
to continue working with Anfield on responsibly developing these important domestic
