- Uranium Royalty Corp. (TSX: URC) is a pure-play uranium royalty company that acquires and manages royalties, streams, and similar interests in uranium projects across the mining life cycle. The company holds a diversified portfolio of over 20 royalties and streams, including notable assets such as the McArthur River/Uranium City royalty (1.5%), the Cigar Lake operation royalty (1.0%), the Inkai joint venture stream (up to 15%), the Church Rock project royalty (4.0%), the Roughrider royalty (3.75%), and others like the Dexter and Lucky Mc properties; it focuses exclusively on uranium to provide investors with leveraged exposure to rising uranium prices without the operational risks of mining. Headquartered in Vancouver, Canada, Uranium Royalty Corp. was founded in 2017 and operates primarily in North America, Australia, and Kazakhstan, targeting institutional and retail investors interested in the nuclear energy and clean power sectors. Recent major developments include the acquisition of a 2% net smelter return royalty on the Church Rock uranium project from enCore Energy in July 2024, the purchase of additional uranium project royalties from Uranium Energy Corp. in late 2024, and ongoing portfolio expansions amid surging global uranium demand driven by nuclear energy growth.
