VANCOUVER, BC , May 27, 2025 /CNW/ - Uranium Royalty Corp.(NASDAQ: UROY) (TSX: URC) ("URC" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement to acquire a new royalty on the Aberdeen Uranium Project in Nunavut, Canada (the "Project") operated by Forum Energy Metals Corp.

Highlights:

• 2.0% Gross Overriding Royalty Acquired for CAD$1 Million: URC will acquire the royalty for a cash payment of CAD$1,000,000 at closing, which is scheduled to occur by the end of May 2025. The transaction will be funded from cash on hand. Forum retains the right to repurchase 0.5% for CAD$1,000,000 within six months of a successful pre-feasibility study; this right expires seven years after issuance.
• Strategic Location: Aberdeen is directly adjacent to the west of the Orano-operated Kiggavik Project, which hosts over 132 million pounds of U₃O₈ in Indicated and Inferred Resources, making it one of the largest undeveloped uranium projects globally. ⁽¹⁾
• Highly Prospective Ground: Aberdeen covers more than 95,000 hectares in the underexplored Thelon Basin—Canada's emerging analogue to the Athabasca Basin in Saskatchewan. Drilling to date has returned high-grade results, including:
  • 1.15% U₃O₈ over 2.4 metres
  • 0.62% over 17.9 metres
  • 0.11% U₃O₈ over 35.3 metres ⁽²⁾

The Aberdeen Royalty
