VANCOUVER, British Columbia, June 03, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Anfield Energy, Inc. (TSX.V: AEC; OTCQB: ANLDF; FRANKFURT: 0AD) ("Anfield" or "the Company") announces that it has filed its annual financial statements, accompanying management's discussion and analysis and related officer certifications (collectively, the "Annual Filings") for the financial year ended December 31, 2023. Following completion of the filings, the British Columbia Securities Commission has revoked the previously issued cease trade order (the "CTO"). Anfield expects its shares to be reinstated for trading on the TSX Venture Exchange at the open of markets on or about June 5, 2024.

The Annual Filings had not been filed due to an unanticipated change in auditor practices which led to a requirement to reverse an asset impairment charge related to the Shootaring Canyon mill, put in place in 2017 as a consequence of an audit analysis and determination that the mill would not be restarted due to a low uranium price at that time. This impairment is now reversed and the book value of the Shootaring Canyon mill increased by approximately $22 million.

The impairment reversal required a comprehensive business valuation appraisal, undertaken by a third-party firm specializing in valuations, which informed the auditors as to both the validity and amount of the reversal of the Shootaring Canyon mill impairment.

The Company also confirms the following ongoing engagements:

• Capital 10X: 12673428 Canada Inc., doing business as Capital 10X, is a research and analysis firm owned by Duane Hope, based in Toronto, Ontario and active in the metals and mining industry.

The engagement of CanaCom Group is for a twelve-month term which commenced on December 14, 2023, for which CanaCom Group has received a one-time cash payment of $110,000 at the time of commencement.
