Anfield Energy submits permit amendment for JD-8 uranium, vanadium mine restart

Anfield Energy (AEC) announced that, following receipt of comments regarding the company’s plan of operations submittal from the U.S. Department of Energy and the Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety, or DRMS, the company has addressed all outstanding comments and has submitted a permit amendment for the restart of its past-producing JD-8 uranium and vanadium mine in Montrose County, Colorado. The JD-8 Mine remains on schedule for potential approval and mobilization in mid-2026, with a targeted production restart in the second half of 2026. JD-7 mine infrastructure will now serve as the central base of operations for the entire Monogram Mesa Mine Complex, improving efficiency and reducing costs. Mined material from JD-8, as part of Anfield’s hub-and-spoke production strategy, will be processed at Anfield’s Shootaring Canyon mill in Utah, one of only three licensed conventional mills in the United States. The company is leveraging its recent acquisition of BRS, Inc. to streamline the regulatory process and technical development.
