VANCOUVER, BC --(Marketwired - August 08, 2017) - Anfield Resources
Inc. (TSX VENTURE: ARY) (OTCQB: ANLDF) (FRANKFURT: 0AD) ("Anfield" or "the Company") is pleased to announce the receipt of an NI
43-101 mineral resource technical report for the Clarkson Hill uranium project, entitled "Clarkson Hill Uranium Project, Mineral
Resource NI 43-101 Technical Report, Natrona County, Wyoming, USA" with effective date July 27, 2017 (the "Clarkson Hill
Report"). Further to Anfield's news release of March 21, 2017, the Clarkson Hill Report is the second in a series of NI 43-101
technical reports related to Anfield's 24 Wyoming uranium projects. The report was completed by BRS, Inc., a consulting and
engineering firm with nearly 40 years of experience assessing Wyoming uranium projects.
The resource estimate includes an Inferred Resource of 957,000 tons of mineralized material with an average grade of 0.058%
(equivalent to an Inferred Resource of 1,113,000 pounds of U3O8).
Corey Dias, Anfield's CEO stated, "This report reflects Anfield's continued drive to both identify and delineate the uranium
resource on the Company's properties in Wyoming in an effort to determine which of these projects are the most prospective.
Ultimately, Anfield aims to pair a future viable uranium resource with the Resin Processing Agreement it has in place with
Uranium One in Wyoming whereby it can process up to 500,000 pounds of uranium per year at Uranium One's Irigaray Central
Processing Plant."
A summary of the Inferred Mineral Resource included in the Clarkson Hill Report is presented in Table 1.

Mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability in accordance with CIM standards.
Inferred Mineral Resources are too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them which would
enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves.
The Clarkson Hill project comprises approximately 500 acres of the mineral holdings of Anfield, and includes 25 unpatented
mining lode claims located approximately 20 air miles southwest of Casper, Wyoming. The data used in the report consists of
radiometric-equivalent data (eU3O8) for 255 holes; drill intercept data from 17 core holes and 238 rotary drill holes were
utilized, along with drill intercepts, chemical assay certificates and both lithological and geophysical logs.
To the best of our knowledge there are no other legal or environmental matters that could materially affect the potential
development of these resources.
Radiometric equilibrium was assumed and is supported by available data.
A unit weight of 125 pounds per cubic foot or 16 cubic feet per ton was assumed, based on available data and the Author's
direct mining experience within the host formation.
The deposit is closely drilled, approximately fifty to one hundred foot centers. The drilling demonstrates continuity
particularly along the mineralized trends. Based on the drill density and the apparent continuity of the deposit along trend the
mineral resource estimate would meet the criteria as an Indicated Mineral Resource. However, due to the lack of current drilling
to verify the pre-2008 drill data, the Author has classified the estimate as Inferred Mineral Resources under the CIM Standards
on Mineral Resources and Reserves.
The estimated mineral resources do not have demonstrated economic viability, but they have had technical and economic
constraints applied to them to establish reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction. The author expects the majority
of the Inferred could be upgraded to Indicated Mineral Resources with additional drilling.

is strategically located within one of the historically most prolific uranium production areas in the United States, and is one
of only three licensed uranium mills in the United States.
Anfield's conventional uranium assets consist of mining claims and state leases in southeastern Utah, Colorado and Arizona,
targeting areas where past uranium mining or prospecting occurred. Anfield's conventional uranium assets include the Velvet-Wood
Project, the Frank M Uranium Project, as well as the Findlay Tank breccia pipe. All conventional uranium assets are situated
within a 125-mile radius of the Shootaring Mill.
Wyoming -- Irigaray ISR Processing Plant (Resin Processing Agreement)
Anfield has also signed a Resin Processing Agreement with Uranium One wherein Anfield would process up to 500,000 pounds per
annum of its mined material at Uranium One's Irigaray processing plant in Wyoming. In addition, should Anfield sign uranium sales
contracts, the Company can both buy and borrow uranium from Uranium One in order to fulfill some or all of its contracts.
Anfield's ISR mining projects are located in the Black Hills, Powder River Basin, Great Divide Basin, Laramie Basin, Shirley
