VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA / ACCESSWIRE / August 21, 2014 / Anfield Resources Inc. (TSX.V: ARY)(OTCQB: ANLDF) ("Anfield" or "the Company") is pleased to announce that it has filed an application with the Utah Division of Radiation Control ("UDRC") to approve the transfer of ownership of the radioactive materials license for the Shootaring Canyon Uranium Mill ("Shootaring Mill") from Uranium One to Anfield and to request an extension of the license to allow Anfield to prepare a license renewal application. The application to transfer ownership has been jointly filed by Uranium One and Anfield pursuant to definitive agreements, announced on August 18, 2014, under which Anfield has agreed to acquire the Shootaring Mill and a portfolio of conventional uranium assets from Uranium One ("Shootaring Transaction"). The UDRC is the regulatory entity in Utah responsible for licensing the Shootaring Mill.

Corey Dias, CEO of the Company stated: "The transfer application is the first step in the process of restarting the Shootaring Mill, one of only three licensed conventional uranium mills in the United States. We look forward to developing a positive working relationship with the UDRC during the transfer and restart process."

About the Utah Division of Radiation Control

The UDRC is a division within the Utah Department of Environmental Quality, and is the regulatory agency in Utah responsible for licensing the Shootaring Mill. The mission of the UDRC is to protect Utah citizens and the environment from sources of radiation that pose a significant health and/or environmental risk or hazard. Utah is an "agreement state", meaning that the federal Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has delegated to the state of Utah control over radioactive materials licensing.
