VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA / TNW-ACCESSWIRE / August 21, 2014 / Anfield Resources Inc. (TSX.V: ARY)(OTCQB: ANLDF) ("Anfield" or "the Company") is pleased to announce that it has filed an application with the Utah Division of Radiation Control ("UDRC") to approve the transfer of ownership of the radioactive materials license for the Shootaring Canyon Uranium Mill ("Shootaring Mill") from Uranium One to Anfield and to request an extension of the license to allow Anfield to prepare a license renewal application.

We look forward to developing a positive working relationship with the UDRC during the transfer and restart process."
