VANCOUVER, BC--(Marketwired - March 06, 2017) - Anfield Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE: ARY) (
Corey Dias, Anfield's CEO, stated, "We are excited to have closed on a financing which is significantly larger than the $1.5 million private placement we had originally announced on February 21st. With these funds, Anfield will both advance its current projects and pursue acquisition opportunities as we remain extremely optimistic with regard to the uranium market and its future prospects. It is important to note that the 447 commercial nuclear reactors now operating in 31 countries across the world currently meet 11% of global electricity demand; however, with 59 reactors currently under construction and a planned and proposed reactor pipeline totaling more than 500, it is clear that nuclear power will remain an integral part of the global energy mix."
In connection with closing, the Company paid fees of $22,050 and issued 220,500 Warrants to eligible finders who introduced subscribers to the Company. All securities issued in connection with the private placement are subject to a four-month-and-one-day statutory hold period. The proceeds of the private placement will be used for project development and general working capital purposes.
