ANFIELD ENERGY INC. ANNOUNCES NOVEMBER 9 GROUND-BREAKING CEREMONY FOR VELVET-WOOD URANIUM-VANADIUM MINE, ADVANCING U.S. ENERGY INDEPENDENCE

Event to Mark Official Start of Construction Following Expedited Federal and State Approvals; Ceremony to Feature Key Stakeholders, Highlighting Anfield's Role in Domestic Nuclear Fuel Supply

Key Highlights:

• Milestone Momentum: Just weeks after Utah's final construction permit, groundbreaking initiates mine reopening, dewatering, and development—paving the way for potential first production in 2026.
• Critical Minerals Boost: Velvet-Wood poised to yield up to 4.6 million pounds of uranium (Measured & Indicated) plus vanadium, processed at Anfield's Shootaring Canyon Mill to support U.S. nuclear security.
• Community and Economic Impact: Ceremony to celebrate job creation in San Juan County, Utah, with minimal environmental footprint (three acres of new surface disturbance).
• National Alignment: Echoes President Trump's 2025 Executive Orders on nuclear growth, addressing U.S. uranium import reliance (99% in 2023) and vanadium supply vulnerabilities.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Oct. 23, 2025 – Anfield Energy Inc. (NASDAQ: AEC; TSX.V: AEC; FRANKFURT: 0AD) (“Anfield” or the “Company”) today announced plans for a ceremonial groundbreaking on November 6, 2025, at its Velvet-Wood uranium-vanadium mine in San Juan County, Utah. This pivotal event will signal the official launch of construction activities, following the U.S. Department of the Interior's expedited federal approval in May and the Utah Department of Oil, Gas and Mining's greenlight in October.

The ceremony, set for 11:00 a.m. local time at the mine site, will bring together Anfield executives, local community leaders, and representatives from federal and state agencies to commemorate this step forward in America's critical minerals resurgence. Attendees will witness the symbolic first dig, underscoring Anfield's commitment to rapid mobilization: reopening the historic mine portal, dewatering underground workings, building surface facilities, conducting inspections, and advancing a new incline for ore extraction. All phases are designed for efficiency, integrating with Anfield's Shootaring Canyon Mill—one of only three licensed conventional uranium mills in the U.S.—to deliver processed concentrate swiftly.

“November 6 will be more than a groundbreaking—it's a bold declaration of Anfield's readiness to help fuel the American nuclear renaissance," said Corey Dias, CEO of Anfield Energy. "Building on the Trump Administration's visionary Executive Orders—from reinvigorating the nuclear fuel cycle to expanding the workforce—Velvet-Wood positions us to supply uranium for clean energy, medical isotopes, and naval propulsion, while vanadium strengthens infrastructure and aerospace. With uranium consumption at 50 million pounds annually and domestic output under 1%, projects like ours are essential to energy dominance. We invite our stakeholders, partners, and the San Juan County community to join us in this historic moment."

Reviving a site that produced 4 million pounds of U3O8 and 5 million pounds of V2O5 from 1979 to 1984, Velvet-Wood's current resources (per the 2023 Preliminary Economic Assessment) stand at 4.6 million pounds eU3O8 at 0.29% grade (Measured & Indicated) and 552,000 pounds eU3O8 at 0.32% (Inferred), with a 1.4:1 vanadium-to-uranium ratio. The PEA forecasts a pre-tax NPV8% of US$238M and IRR of 40% at US$70/lb U3O8 and US$12/lb V2O5, affirming strong potential amid rising commodity prices.

This announcement follows the Department of the Interior's trailblazing 14-day environmental review under President Trump's energy emergency declaration, as praised by Secretary Doug Burgum: "This is mineral security in action." Anfield's fully U.S.-based assets—including Slick Rock, Frank M, and the Paradox Mine Complex—all within 200 miles of Shootaring Canyon, further solidify the Company's hub-and-spoke model. Ongoing mill license upgrades aim for 3 million pounds annual capacity, aligning with surging demand from utilities and advanced reactors.

Media and interested parties are encouraged to RSVP for the November 6 event via the Company website. For more on Velvet-Wood, visit www.anfieldenergy.com.
