Our goal remains to restore domestic conventional uranium and vanadium milling capacity in the United States.”Receipt of both the Draft License and Draft Permit is an important step in the renewal of the Mill’s radioactive materials license, which the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Anfield Resources Holding Corp., applied for in its application dated April 5, 2024. Anfield has submitted all materials requested by the Division in connection with the application, and these materials and additional responses to the Division’s queries have informed both the Draft License and Draft Permit. The Company is reviewing both documents and expects to discuss them further with Division staff in the coming weeks.This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.Based on its discussions with Division staff to date, the Company currently anticipates that the documents will be ready for public notice and comment around the end of 2026, with the 45-day public comment period beginning either in late 2026 or early 2027. The timing of the public comment period is determined by the Division and remains subject to change.Key Terms of the Draft LicenseAs currently drafted, and subject to change before any final decision, the Draft License would, among other things:authorize the possession of natural uranium and 11e.(2) byproduct material at the Shootaring Canyon uranium milling facility; andprovide that the mill production rate shall not exceed 1,500 tons – that is, 3 million pounds – of yellowcake per year.The Draft License would also require the Company to maintain a financial surety and a valid groundwater discharge permit at all times. In addition, it sets out the groundwater monitoring network, compliance monitoring and reporting requirements, and best available technology performance standards for the Mill’s process ponds, South Cell and decontamination pad.This advertisement has not loaded yet.This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.Separately from the terms of the Draft License, the Company’s refurbishment plans for Shootaring target a throughput capacity of 1,000 tons per day and the addition of a new vanadium circuit, supporting the Company’s plan to process both uranium and vanadium ore from multiple project sources through Shootaring as the central hub.Site Preparation ActivitiesThe Company continues site preparation work within the Mill’s leach area under its existing license. This work focuses on removing equipment that Anfield intends to replace as part of the refurbishment, including leach tanks, associated piping, electrical systems, pumps, motors and related infrastructure.Subject to the issuance of the renewed license, Anfield is targeting the start of major refurbishment work in the second quarter of 2027. The Company expects the site preparation completed under the existing license to help shorten the overall refurbishment timeline after the renewed license is issued.Douglas L.
