Calypso Signs Definitive Option Agreement for a Joint Venture on the Majority of Calypso's Argentine Uranium Properties

21/09/2010 11:59pm

Marketwired Canada


CALYPSO URANIUM CORP. (TSX VENTURE:CLP) ("Calypso" or the "Company") is pleased
to announce the Company has signed an Option Agreement (the "Agreement") with
Cameco Global Exploration Ltd. ("Cameco Global"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Cameco Corporation ("Cameco"), to explore and develop Calypso's uranium projects
in Argentina with the exception of the Huemul property in the Province of
Mendoza which will be retained by Calypso. The Agreement will be completed
through an equity investment by Cameco Global in Calypso's wholly-owned
subsidiary Energia Mineral Inc. ("Energia Mineral"). The Agreement was signed on
September 21, 2010, following the Letter of Intent announced in the Company's
news release of April 13, 2010.


Under the terms of the Agreement, Calypso has granted Cameco Global the option
to acquire a 51% interest in Energia Mineral by Cameco Global investing a total
of C$9,000,000 in Energia Mineral's Argentine uranium properties, over a maximum
three-year period. During the first year of the Agreement, Cameco Global has
committed to fund C$3,000,000 of Energia Mineral's agreed exploration and
development programs. The decision to proceed with a further $3,000,000 in
exploration in years two and three is at Cameco Global's discretion.


The Energia Mineral project areas included in the Agreement cover approximately
442,542 hectares and include the La Pintada, Ranquil Co, Central Block,
Campesino Norte and San Jorge Basin projects.


"We are excited to have Cameco, a recognized uranium industry leader as our
partner in our exploration activities in Argentina. Their extensive experience
in all aspects of exploration, development and production will significantly
strengthen the development of our projects over the medium and long term," said
Stephen Barley, President of Calypso.


Under the terms of the Agreement, Energia Mineral will continue to lead
exploration activities during the option period based on exploration proposals
approved by a joint technical committee. In the event Cameco Global exercises
its option and acquires a 51% interest in Energia Mineral, Cameco Global has the
right but not the obligation to become the operator.


Guillermo Pensado, Vice President Exploration of Calypso and President of
Energia Mineral, said, "The signing of this agreement is a testament to the
quality of the properties the Company has assembled in areas of Argentina with
high uranium potential, and we look forward to working with Cameco through the
joint technical committee to deliver the agreed exploration program."
