CALGARY, AB, Jan. 27, 2021 /CNW/ - Uravan Minerals Inc. (TSXV: UVN) ("Uravan") announces the sale of Uravan's 2,500,000 common shares of Fathom Minerals Ltd.("Fathom"), a private corporation, priced at $0.05 per share (the "Fathom Shares). The sale of Uravan's Fathom Shares was achieved between Uravan and several private investors because of the reorganization of Fathom into the capital of Fathom Nickel Inc.("Nickel").

The Fathom Shares were originally acquired by Uravan as a result of the sale, in 2015, of Uravan's Rottenstone Property ("Rottenstone") to Fathom. In addition to Uravan receiving the Fathom Shares as compensation for the sale of Rottenstone, Fathom granted and reserved to the benefit of Uravan a 2% Net Smelter Return ("NSR") royalty on the mineral claims making up Rottenstone. Notwithstanding the recent sale of Uravan's Fathom Shares and after the reorganization of Fathom into the capital of Nickel, Uravan still retains the 2% NSR on Rottenstone.

On another note, Uravan announces the recent resignation of Alnoor Nathoo as a member of the Board of Directors of Uravan. Mr. Nathoo has been a valued member of the Board and a key individual supporting Uravan in its pursuit of other business opportunities.

Uravan will continue to pursue and evaluate other businesses and strategic opportunities and will make further announcements with respect to these efforts when meaningful.
