09:09 AM EDT, 06/16/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Anfield Energy ( ANLDF ) on Monday said it filed a notice of intent, through its wholly owned subsidiary Highbury Resources, with the Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety, to begin a 20-hole, 8,000-foot rotary drill program at the existing JD-7 open pit mine in Montrose County, Colorado.

The company said that the purpose of the in-field exploratory drilling program is to expand its hub-and-spoke uranium and vanadium production model. The program will collect geologic information related to uranium mineralization in multiple sandstone hosted deposits throughout the area, confirm the existing pit resources and confirm the extent and location of underground uranium and vanadium resources, stated the company.

"We are very pleased to pursue a drill program at our JD-7 mine, one of the nine DoE leases which comprise our West Slope complex," said Anfield Energy's ( ANLDF ) Chief Executive Officer, Corey Dias. "As we continue to work with the State of Utah's Department of Environmental Quality to finalize approval of our reactivation plan for the Shootaring Mill, it is important to note that the proposed amendment to our radioactive materials license - which increases both mill throughput from 750tpd to 1,000tpd and annual production capacity from 1 Mlbs to 3 Mlbs - will allow the Company to expand its hub-and-spoke uranium and vanadium production model through the receipt of mill feed from additional mines such as JD-7."
