Anfield Energy Announces JD-8 Mine Restart Application Passes Initial Completeness Review

Anfield Energy Inc. has received an affirmative initial completeness determination from the Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety (DRMS) for its permitting application to restart the JD-8 uranium and vanadium mine in Montrose County, Colorado. This crucial milestone means the application contains all necessary components for a substantive review, keeping the project on track for potential approval in mid-2026 and a production restart in the second half of 2026. CEO Corey Dias highlighted this as a significant de-risking event, emphasizing the mine's strategic position given strong uranium market fundamentals and increasing domestic nuclear fuel demand. The JD-8 mine is part of Anfield's West Slope project portfolio and is supported by the Shootaring Canyon mill. The company notes that the development decision is based on historical data and not a full feasibility study, indicating some associated economic and viability risks.
