Analysis · AEC · Energy & Transportation
Colorado's DRMS has completed its review of the JD-8 uranium-vanadium mine permit, approving a 28.30-acre permit area and setting a US$620,000 reclamation surety. This is the final state-level decision — the prior September 15 filing only noted a recommendation for approval. The permit will be issued once the financial warranty is posted. Separately, DOE accepted the draft Environmental Assessment template on September 29, allowing federal NEPA review to proceed. With both state and federal processes now advancing, Anfield's target of restarting production at JD-8 by the end of Q2 2027 is more concrete. The stock trades near its 52-week low, so this regulatory progress is a meaningful de-risking event for a company that has been raising capital through multiple offerings this year.
