| Over the past five years, UROY has purchased over 3.5 million pounds of uranium, most of that uranium at prices 50% or lower than the current spot price — and currently holds 2.4 million pounds of uranium, in a storage facility in America.
All Western uranium, all stored in America, above ground ready to be used at the right price.
The stockpile’s value has already dramatically risen in value over the past year.
And it looks to become far more valuable as a means of tiding over nuclear operators as U.S. and Canadian developers rush to start uranium production in this hemisphere.
This is where UROY’s business model goes from sensible to brilliant…
Because alongside the uranium stockpile, Uranium Royalty Corp. has acquired nearly two dozen uranium mine royalties.
Its biggest hauls so far are royalties on three producing assets: Cigar Lake, McArthur River and Langer Heinrich.
- Cigar Lake has extraordinarily high grades that are 100 times the world average, and it has seen its proven reserves expand by 25 million pounds in just the last nine months and is in production.
- McArthur River is believed to be the highest-grade operating uranium mine in the world according to Cameco—and URC’s royalty pays out in physical uranium. Cameco expects to greatly increase production, which is pure profit for URC.
- Langer Heinrich has already produced 44 million pounds of uranium is projected to produce another 77 million pounds.
But here’s what’s really striking about Cigar Lake and McArthur River operating mines: - They are both in the lowest-cost quartile globally, and together they have the capacity to churn out one-fifth of the world’s uranium demand.
They’ve also got 24 royalty interests on 19 development, advanced, permitted, and producing uranium projects in multiple jurisdictions.
And the current physical uranium holdings, at current spot uranium prices are worth over $200 million, if you can even get that amount of uranium locked down at all. All that uranium has already been bought and paid for.
The company has no debt.
Playing BOTH SIDES of the World
Because passing the ban on Russian uranium imports immediately activated a massive congressional Easter egg:
$2.7 billion is to be spent on building out domestic uranium fuel cycle production (Nuclear Fuel Security Act).
So, mine developers are working at breakneck speed to open mines.
UROY holds extensive royalty interests in both conventional and in-situ recovery projects throughout the Western United States.
With its broadly diversified portfolio, UROY is executing a conservative business model with zero direct mining risk.
- UROY currently trades relatively close to the current market values of its liquid assets (Cash, securities and uranium).
- This is before you consider the value of its royalty portfolio.
Company leadership sees the Russian import ban adding further positive pressure on uranium fundamentals.
And as the ban fully kicks in by the end of 2027…
The ensuing chaos is expected to launch uranium prices, just like in 2006.
So UROY continues to accelerate premium royalty purchases, with a focus on those that are expected to be in production in the second half of the decade.
Several of the operators of its royalty properties have announced plans to seek production in the next decade.
Uranium Royalty Corp. (NASDAQ: UROY) is in a strong position in the market, at a key time to be in that position.
Katusa Research believes the global uranium market is at an inflection point.
With an existing structural supply deficit and an ever-increasing demand for uranium to fuel reactors, the industry is ripe for growth.
Of course, as always, you should review UROY's most recent annual information form and other filings at www.sec.gov and www.sedarplus.ca for important information regarding it and its assets.
