Shares of Anfield Energy Inc. (TSXV:AEC) jumped nearly 30 per cent by midday Wednesday on news of its acquisition by IsoEnergy Ltd. (TSX:ISO).
In a move to bolster its position in the uranium market, IsoEnergy will acquire all issued and outstanding common shares of Anfield, including its 100 per cent ownership of the Shootaring Canyon Mill in southeastern Utah. This mill is one of only three licensed, permitted and constructed conventional uranium mills in the United States, making it a valuable asset in the current energy landscape.
In a media release, ISO’s team explained that a restart application has been submitted to the State of Utah for the Shootaring Canyon Mill to increase throughput from 750 stpd to 1,000 stpd and expand licensed annual production capacity from 450,000 kg U3O8 to 1,360,000 kg U3O8.
Shootaring historically produced and sold 27,825 pounds of U3O8 and has not been decommissioned, it has just been under care and maintenance since operations ceased in the early 1980s.
