Q2 Net Loss More Than Doubles
Net loss for Q2 2026 was C$8.98M, up from C$4.33M in Q2 2025, driven by higher exploration spending (C$3.28M vs C$1.92M) and C$930K in share-based compensation.
-
Working Capital Turns Negative
Working capital deficit of C$323,103 as of June 30, 2026, compared to a surplus of C$3.97M at year-end 2025, reflecting heavy investment in mining equipment and the BRS acquisition.
-
US$6.86M Public Offering Closed
On July 31, 2026, the company closed a public offering of 1,715,000 common shares at US$4.00 per share for gross proceeds of US$6.86M, including full exercise of the underwriters' option.

Related-Party BRS Acquisition
Acquired BRS Inc. from the COO for total consideration of US$5.0M, with US$1.5M paid at closing and deferred payments of US$1.5M and US$2.0M due in 2027 and 2028; BRS contributed C$744,766 in revenue during the period.
Analysis · AEC · Energy & Transportation
The second quarter of 2026 saw Anfield Energy's net loss more than double year-over-year to C$8.98M, driven by a sharp increase in exploration spending and share-based compensation. Working capital swung to a deficit of C$323,103, though a subsequent US$6.86M public offering on July 31 provides near-term liquidity. A related-party acquisition of BRS Inc. from the COO added consulting revenue but also US$5M in total consideration, and a pending arbitration claim seeks approximately US$10M in uranium or cash, creating a significant contingent liability.
