CLP Calypso Uranium Corp.

CALYPSO URANIUM CORP. (TSX VENTURE:CLP) ("Calypso" or the "Company") is pleased
to announce the Company has signed a non-binding Letter of Intent ("LOI") with
Cameco Corporation ("Cameco") to enter into a joint venture agreement to explore
and develop the majority of Calypso's uranium projects in Argentina through an
equity investment by Cameco in Calypso's wholly-owned subsidiary Energia Mineral
Inc. ( "Energia Mineral" or "EMI").


Under the terms of the LOI, Calypso has agreed to grant Cameco the option to
acquire a 51% interest in EMI in consideration of Cameco investing C$10,000,000
in exploration and development expenses on Calypso's Argentine uranium
properties over a maximum four year period. The LOI provides that the first
$2,500,000 of the option will be a firm commitment and the balance will be at
Cameco's discretion. The EMI project areas included in the LOI cover
approximately 423,000 hectares and include the La Pintada, Ranquil Co, Central
Block, Campesino Norte and San Jorge Basin projects. EMI's Huemul project in the
Province of Mendoza is excluded from the terms of the LOI. The arrangement with
Cameco is subject to the completion of due diligence; the negotiation and
execution of definitive agreements; and the approval of the TSX Venture
Exchange.


"Calypso is extremely pleased to have Cameco as a potential partner and to be
able to add Cameco's expertise and strength to the already solid efforts of our
Energia Mineral team in Argentina," said Stephen Barley, President of Calypso.
"EMI controls a large area of excellent prospects and the synergies generated by
our joint participation will allow us to better advance the development of these
projects over the long term. As exploration operator, Energia Mineral brings its
local capacity and experience to carry out the project exploration phase. For
projects that show potential to move beyond the exploration stage, Cameco's
industry experience and leadership will provide solid backing for the
development and production phases."


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


"Cameco is not only a global leader in uranium exploration and development, but
they also share our commitment to ensure broad community support, and to work to
the highest national and international health and safety and environmental
standards," said Guillermo Pensado, Vice President Exploration of Calypso and
President of Energia Mineral (Inc.). Pensado added: "While Argentina currently
imports all its uranium needs, we believe it has the geological potential to be
totally self-sufficient. Energia Mineral looks forward to contributing to the
development of Argentina's uranium potential."
