Anfield Expands Colorado Land Holdings for Key Uranium-Vanadium Projects
Event summary
- Anfield's subsidiary Highbury leased two additional patented mining claims in Colorado from Gold Eagle Mining, effective July 1, 2026.
- The properties will expand Anfield’s JD-5 and Slick Rock projects within the Uravan Belt of the Colorado Plateau uranium-vanadium district.
- No royalties or production-based payments are required under the perpetual lease agreement.
- Anfield will integrate these claims into ongoing mine design and permitting activities for its hub-and-spoke development model.
The big picture
Anfield’s expansion of its land holdings in Colorado strengthens its position as a key player in domestic uranium and vanadium production. This move aligns with broader industry trends toward securing critical mineral supplies to support U.S. energy security and the transition to clean power. The strategic integration of these claims into Anfield’s existing projects underscores its commitment to advancing its hub-and-spoke development model, which could enhance operational efficiency and scalability.
