VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA / ACCESSWIRE / November 4, 2014 / Anfield Resources Inc. (TSX.V: ARY)ANLDF 0AD ("Anfield" or "the Company") is pleased to report that it has renewed the nine mineral leases on Utah State Trust Land that were issued to the Company in December of last year. The leases cover over 5,700 acres (2,306 hectares) and lie within past producing uranium mining districts in southeastern Utah. The leases are complementary with the Company's other uranium holdings in the Henry Mountains District, the Montezuma Canyon District, and the Green River District.

URANIUM MARKETS

The uranium spot price continues to trend upwards and the Company notes a $0.85 gain this week to US$36.50 (lb), as reported by UxC, one of the nuclear industry's leading consulting companies. Over the past three months, the spot price has increased by roughly 28%.

The industry also took another significant step forward with the report from Japan that the city assembly of Satsumasendai has voted to restart two reactors at the Sendai nuclear power plant. Dundee Capital Market analyst David Talbot, in a research note, wrote that the Sendai news could possibly provide a boost for the price of uranium. As UxC notes in their Q3 2014 Uranium Market Outlook: "The market that we now find ourselves in is like no other in the history of uranium. Production is far below requirements, which are growing." Talbot also noted that, with uranium prices up 28 percent over the past three months and uranium stocks trading down 22 percent over the same period, this is a perfect entry point for investors to get back in the uranium market.

Corey Dias, CEO of Anfield, stated: "Considering the current positive signs in the industry, we are optimistic that the price of uranium will continue trending upward. With the pending acquisition of both the Shootaring Canyon Mill and the conventional land package from Uranium One, together with Anfield's existing holdings including the renewed Utah State leases, we feel that Anfield is well positioned to take advantage of burgeoning demand for nuclear power."

About Utah School & Institutional Trust Lands Administration

The School and Institutional Trust Lands Administration works to generate revenue from Utah's trust lands to build and grow the perpetual endowments for state institutions designated by Congress in 1894. Utah's public school system is the largest beneficiary, holding 96% of all Utah trust lands.

The Administration manages the land portfolio for each beneficiary, generating revenues through oil, gas, and mineral leases, rents, and royalties; real estate development and sales; and surface estate sales, leases, and easements. Revenues generated from each real estate portfolio are placed into individual trust funds, which are invested by the state treasurer. Income earned from each trust fund is distributed to its beneficiary.
