Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Fusion Fuel Green PLC reports on its planned acquisition of Royal Uranium Inc., a private royalty company with a portfolio of uranium and natural gas royalties across the Americas. The deal is governed by a Share Exchange Agreement and remains subject to regulatory, shareholder and other closing conditions.

The update highlights a 2.0% Net Smelter Return royalty on the PLS Regional uranium exploration project in Canada’s Athabasca Basin, covering 12,067 hectares operated by Cameco and Denison. This is one of 16 uranium royalty interests spanning the Athabasca Basin, Newfoundland, Colombia and Argentina.

Fusion Fuel positions the Royal Uranium transaction as a way to gain long-duration exposure to uranium exploration and potential future production without funding exploration or mine development. The company ties this strategy to forecasts of strengthening global uranium demand and broader support for nuclear energy, while emphasizing extensive risks, including completion of the transaction, regulatory approvals, commodity price volatility, permitting outcomes, operator decisions, and political and regulatory changes in relevant jurisdictions.

Insights

Fusion Fuel is pivoting into uranium royalties for capital-light commodity exposure, but execution and regulatory risks are significant.

Fusion Fuel is extending its energy portfolio beyond engineering and green hydrogen solutions into uranium and natural gas royalties via the proposed acquisition of Royal Uranium. The highlight is a 2.0% NSR royalty over 12,067 hectares in Canada’s Athabasca Basin, operated by Cameco and Denison.

Royalty structures provide exposure to potential discoveries and future production while avoiding direct exploration and development spending. Management frames this as a capital-efficient way to align with projected uranium demand growth and broader nuclear-supportive policies and corporate initiatives described in the text.

The filing underscores that the transaction is not yet closed and faces multiple contingencies: Irish regulatory and shareholder approvals, third-party consents, integration of Royal Uranium’s assets, and dependence on operators’ permitting, funding and technical success. Political and regulatory risks in Canada, Colombia and Argentina, plus commodity price volatility, mean that actual economic benefits will depend heavily on future exploration outcomes and uranium and natural gas market conditions.

Exhibit 99.1

 

Fusion Fuel (HTOO) Highlights Royal Uranium’s Cameco-Operated Uranium Royalty (2.0% NSR) in Canada’s Athabasca Basin

 

2.0% NSR royalty covering 12,067 hectares within a Cameco- and Denison Mines-operated project in Canada’s Athabasca Basin
   
Part of a 16-asset uranium royalty portfolio spanning multiple jurisdictions and major uranium operators across the Americas

 

Dublin, March 17, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE), Fusion Fuel Green PLC (Nasdaq: HTOO) (“Fusion Fuel” or the “Company”), a leading provider of full-service energy engineering, advisory, and utility solutions, today provided certain highlights of the uranium royalty portfolio anticipated to be acquired through its previously announced definitive agreement with Royal Uranium, highlighting a 2.0% Net Smelter Return (NSR) royalty on the PLS Regional uranium exploration project, operated by Cameco Corporation in joint venture with Denison Mines Corp in Canada’s Athabasca Basin.

 

Upon closing of the Royal Uranium transaction, Fusion Fuel is expected to gain royalty exposure to exploration and potential future development activity in the Athabasca Basin without funding exploration or mine development capital.

 

The PLS Regional royalty is one of 16 uranium royalty interests included in the Royal Uranium portfolio spanning the Athabasca Basin, Newfoundland, Colombia, and Argentina.

 

Management believes the Royal Uranium transaction positions Fusion Fuel to build exposure to uranium exploration and development activity across multiple projects, operators and jurisdictions through a capital-efficient royalty structure.

 

Fusion Fuel expects to highlight additional royalty assets within the portfolio in the coming weeks.

 

PLS Regional Royalty in the Athabasca Basin

 

The PLS Regional royalty covers 12,067 hectares of uranium exploration claims in Saskatchewan’s Athabasca Basin, a region that hosts several of the highest-grade uranium deposits ever discovered.

 

The royalty claims are located along the same regional geological trend that hosts several of the basin’s most significant uranium discoveries, including Triple R, Arrow, Bow and Spitfire.

 

Cameco Corporation operates the claims in a joint venture with Denison Mines Corp. Cameco also operates Cigar Lake, the world’s highest-grade uranium producing mine, and McArthur River, one of the world’s largest high-grade uranium deposits, both located in the Athabasca Basin. 1

 

Under the royalty structure, exploration and development activity funded by the operator may advance the underlying project while the royalty holder participates in potential project success without bearing exploration or development capital costs.

Royalty Model Provides Capital-Efficient Exposure

 

Mining royalty structures allow investors to participate in potential mineral discoveries and future mine production without funding exploration, development or mining operations.

 

This model provides exposure to project advancement and uranium price cycles while limiting the operational and capital cost risks typically associated with mining projects.

 

Global Uranium Demand Strengthening

 

Fusion Fuel’s planned acquisition of Royal Uranium aligns with strengthening global uranium demand fundamentals for nuclear energy and uranium supply.

 

Several structural trends are contributing to renewed interest in nuclear power:

 

The U.S. Prohibiting Russian Uranium Imports Act (2024) has accelerated Western demand for non-Russian uranium supply
   
Technology companies including Microsoft, Google and Amazon have entered agreements supporting nuclear energy to power rapidly expanding artificial intelligence infrastructure
   
The proposed U.S. Stargate Project, a potential $500 billion AI infrastructure initiative, is expected to drive sustained demand for baseload electricity
   
At COP28, 24 countries pledged to work toward tripling global nuclear capacity by 2050

 

Global uranium demand is projected to increase 118% between 2025 and 2040, while supply is expected to grow only 14%, implying a potential structural deficit of approximately 197 million pounds by 2040. 2

 

“The Athabasca Basin is one of the most important uranium exploration districts in the world, and Cameco is one of the industry’s most experienced operators, which positions this royalty as a meaningful asset within the Royal Uranium portfolio,” said JP Backwell, CEO of Fusion Fuel.

 

“As nuclear power demand accelerates globally, driven by energy security priorities and rapidly expanding electricity demand from artificial intelligence infrastructure, we believe royalties on tier-one uranium jurisdictions provide a compelling way to participate in long-term uranium supply growth while maintaining a capital-efficient structure.”

 

Royal Uranium Portfolio

 

The PLS Regional royalty 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.

 

Operators across the broader portfolio include Cameco Corporation, Orano Canada, Uranium Energy Corp., and IsoEnergy Ltd., among others.

 

Fusion Fuel expects to highlight additional individual royalty assets within the portfolio in upcoming announcements, providing further detail on royalty assets, operators, and project exposures.
