VANCOUVER, Jan. 21, 2020 /CNW/ - Uranium Royalty Corp.

The closing ceremony was held at the Vancouver Resource Investment Conference.

"We are honored to celebrate our recent listing on the TSX-V. I would like to thank our shareholders and the entire team for all the hard work they have put into this achievement," said Scott Melbye, President and CEO of URC.
