Worldwide Dependence on Nuclear Energy is Expected to Increase

NEW YORK, June 22, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --

According to data compiled by Occams Research, the global nuclear energy market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 4% during the forecast period of 2016 to 2023. The switch to nuclear power is primarily due to depleting fossil fuel reserves and a more environmentally efficient source of power. The demand for it is mostly driven by industries and households, who are utilizing more of the alternative source of energy. By region, Asia-Pacific countries such as Russia and China, are the key producers in the industry and are expected to drive the market forward. Data published by Mordor Intelligence estimates that China is expected to become the biggest supplier. The country has planned to augment its nuclear power generation capacity from 32.4 GW in 2017 to 150 GW by 2050. Anfield Energy Inc. (OTC: ANLDF), Ur?Energy Inc. (NYSE: URG), Denison Mines Corp. (NYSE: DNN), Uranium Energy Corp. (NYSE: UEC), Energy Fuels Inc. (NYSE: UUUU).

Recently, the United States has joined forces with Canada and Japan to promote nuclear power. Forbes reported that, the partnership is called Nuclear Innovation: Clean Energy Future (NICE Future). U.S. Deputy Energy Secretary Dan Brouillette explained, "If the world is serious about reducing emissions and growing economies, then the ministerial must consider all options when it comes to carbon-free power, including clean, reliable nuclear energy."

Anfield Energy Inc. (OTCQB: ANLDF) is also listed on the TSX Venture Exchange under the ticker (TSX-V: AEC). On May 23^rd, the company announced that, "Stephen S. Lunsford has agreed to join the Company's Board of Directors. Mr. Lunsford has had an extensive career as a geologist in the uranium sector, spanning four decades, with his vast experience generated through his time working with entities such as Cameco Resources, Inc., American Nuclear Corp. and Power Resources, Inc. (PRI). In addition, Mr. Lunsford was involved in a feasibility study completed by PRI for Cotter with regard to Anfield's recently-acquired Charlie project in Wyoming. Overall, Mr. Lunsford's regional expertise and uranium asset knowledge will be a significant asset to Anfield.

"We are excited to have someone of Mr. Lunsford's caliber joining our board of directors," commented Anfield's CEO Corey Dias. 'His successful career spanning four decades in the uranium industry with well-known entities in the sector, such as Cameco and PRI, is impressive, and his extensive knowledge of Wyoming uranium will prove to be a great value to the Company as we move our projects forward. Moreover, his direct knowledge with regard to the Charlie project could allow Anfield to further streamline our path to production.'

Mr. Lunsford began his career with American Nuclear Corp. in 1972, where he began as a Field Geologist supervising field drilling programs for as many as seven drill rigs. He later became a Project Geologist where he organized and directed all aspects of the exploration drilling programs.

In 1987, Mr. Lunsford began work as a Project Geologist with Everest Minerals, which became PRI in 1989. In 1996, PRI was acquired by Cameco Inc., and in 2008, PRI's name was changed to Cameco Resources. During his time with Everest/PRI/Cameco, Mr. Lunsford planned and implemented delineation and exploration drilling programs and mapped subsurface roll fronts by means of drill hole geophysical logs. As Project Geologist, he generated uranium reserve/resource evaluations, created and maintained drill hole databases and planned and designed in-situ patterns. His responsibilities also included data collection and geology for generating mine permit applications.

From 2000 to 2002, Mr. Lunsford served as the senior project geologist on PRI's Smith Ranch-Highland Mine, where he evaluated the uranium reserve/resource estimation by geologic and geostatistical methods. He designed and evaluated uranium in-situ production patterns, performed prospect evaluations, and created and/or supervised maintenance of the geophysical drill hole database. He also managed production databases, tracked production and created monthly production reports. In 2002, he became Chief Geologist for the Smith Ranch-Highland Mine, where he evaluated uranium prospects and supervised uranium IST mining efforts. As Chief Geologist he functioned as the Qualified Person (QP) for purposes of NI 43-101 reports.

From 2006 until his retirement in 2013, Mr. Lunsford served as senior evaluation geologist for PRI/Cameco Resources. In this position, he generated uranium prospects internally and evaluated prospects submitted from outside sources. During this period, he continued to serve as the QP on NI 43-101 reports for PRI/Cameco. From 2013 to 2014, Mr. Lunsford was a Consulting Geologist to Tetra Tech and Anatolia Energy on the Temrezil Uranium project in Turkey. His responsibilities included reserve/resource estimation to enable definition of mineral resource boundaries and assisting in the preparation of a preliminary wellfield layout to support the development of a pre-feasibility study.

We also announce the resignation of Jim Rasmussen from the Anfield Board. We would like to thank Mr. Rasmussen for his significant contributions to the Company over the years and wish him all the best in his future endeavors."
