Planned

The Trump administration fast-tracked regulatory approval for Anfield Energy's Velvet-Wood uranium mine located 35 miles south of Moab, Utah. The mine, dormant since the 1980s, could reopen pending additional permits, approvals, and site work. The revival depends on uranium prices rising to make domestic production financially sustainable, potentially bringing jobs to the area.
