Anfield Resources Provides More Information on Uranium One Transaction

Anfield Resources Inc. (TSXV:ARY,OTCQB:ANLDF,FWB:0AD) provided more information on the asset purchase with Uranium One. The Shootaring Canyon Mill and the Velvet-Wood Project, both in Utah, are part of the acquisition, together with portfolio of uranium assets, including a joint venture project with Energy Fuels Inc. (TSX:EFR,NYSEMKT:UUUU), two surface stockpiles, and a number of royalties on projects held by other publicly traded companies, including Energy Fuels Inc., Azarga Uranium Corp. (TSX:AZZ) and Western Uranium Corporation (CSE:WUC).

As quoted in the press release:

The Wate Breccia Pipe Project

Upon closing of the Transaction, Anfield will acquire Uranium One’s 50% interest in the high-grade Wate Uranium Project in Arizona held by the Wate Mining Company, LLC, and will become a joint owner with Energy Fuels Inc.

The northern Arizona breccia pipes are generally recognized as being among the highest grade uranium deposits in the world outside of the Athabasca Basin in Canada. In addition to the Wate Project, the Transaction also includes the Findlay Tank Project, another breccia pipe project in northern Arizona.

Royalty Portfolio

The Transaction also contains a number of royalty arrangements on projects held by publicly-traded companies that, subject closing of the Transaction, would have the potential to be an additional source of income for Anfield. The royalty projects are not currently in production, and no royalty would be due to Anfield until commencement of production. The royalty arrangements are summarized as follows:

-2% to 4% sliding scale production royalty on Azarga Uranium Corp.’s Dewey Burdock project in Custer and Fall River Counties, South Dakota.-2% net smelter returns royalty on Western Uranium Corporation’s San Rafael project in Emery County, Utah.
-2% to 4% sliding scale gross value royalty on Energy Fuels Inc.’s Whirlwind project in Grand County, Utah.

-1% royalty on Energy Fuels Inc.’s Energy Queen project in San Juan County, Utah.

Surface Stockpiles

In addition to the approximately 48,000 acres (~19,425 hectares) of uranium properties included in the Transaction, Anfield will also acquire two surface stockpiles. One of the stockpiles is located at the Shootaring Canyon Mill, with a historical estimate of 250,000 pounds of U3O8 at an average grade of 0.13% U3O8. (Source: Definitive Cost Estimate for the Restart of Shootaring Canyon Mill, Ticaboo, Utah, Lyntek Incorporated, July 28, 2008.) The other surface stockpile is located in the Lisbon Valley, having a historical mineral resource estimate of approximately 165,000 pounds of U3O8 at an average grade of 0.09% U3O8. (Source: Technical Report on the Lisbon Valley Uranium Properties Utah, Roscoe Postle Associates Inc., September 12, 2005.) These surface stockpiles are significant, in that they represent potential mill feed sources with no mining costs and very low removal costs.
