Anfield Energy Inc. JD-8 Mine Permit Amendment
Anfield Energy Inc. has submitted a permit amendment for the restart of its past-producing JD-8 uranium and vanadium mine in Montrose County, Colorado. The company has addressed all comments from the U.S. Department of Energy and the Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety. The JD-8 Mine is on schedule for potential approval and mobilization in mid-2026, with a targeted production restart in the second half of 2026. The JD-7 mine infrastructure will serve as the central operations base for the Monogram Mesa Mine Complex, improving efficiency and reducing costs. Mined material will be processed at Anfieldβs Shootaring Canyon mill in Utah. The company is leveraging its acquisition of BRS, Inc. to streamline the regulatory process. The JD-8 Mine was the last of the historic Cotter Corporation mines to suspend operations in 2006 due to market conditions. The decision to advance development is based on historical data and analysis, not a full feasibility study, indicating potential economic and viability risks.
