The Shea Creek Joint Venture, in the Western Athabasca Basin area of northern Saskatchewan, Canada, is operated by Orano Canada Inc., a subsidiary of French state-majority-owned nuclear fuel cycle company Orano SA, in a joint venture with Uranium Energy Corp. (“UEC”), benefiting from strong government-backed support and long-term demand driven by France’s nuclear energy program. The Western Athabasca Basin has attracted investment from some of the world’s largest nuclear energy companies and is believed to have strong expansion potential.
The Shea Creek Joint Venture discovered four deposits — Kianna, Anne, Collette, and 58B — within mineral claim S-104638.1 The mineral resource estimates below describe these four deposits. Note that the NSR royalty described in this release does not attach to claim S-104638 and will not entitle the holder of the NSR to any compensation related to production therefrom. UEC has indicated that expansion potential remains very high, with 278,889 meters of drilling across 563 drill holes completed since 1992.1
UEC’s 2022 Technical Support’s 2022 mineral resource estimate for the four deposits at a cut-off grade of

The NSR is one of 16 uranium royalty interests anticipated to be acquired as part of the Royal Uranium transaction with assets located across the Athabasca Basin, Newfoundland, Colombia, and Argentina.

This gap cannot be closed by existing producers alone. Development-stage resources, such as those in the Western Athabasca Basin, will be essential to meeting demand. Additionally, the Kazatomprom Group, the world's largest uranium producer, publicly flagged sulfuric acid shortages and construction delays during 2023–2025 that constrained planned production increases, contributing to a tighter-than-expected Western supply outlook over that period and increasing the geopolitical premium on Americas-based assets such as those in Saskatchewan.
“Shea Creek contains one of the largest undeveloped uranium resources in Canada, operated by two of the industry's most experienced names. Through our anticipated acquisition of Royal Uranium, the holder of a
