Calypso Provides an Update on the Exploration Program for Its Energia Mineral Properties in Argentina

CALYPSO URANIUM CORP. (TSX VENTURE: CLP) ("Calypso" or the
"Company") is pleased to provide an update on the on-going
exploration and follow-up program on the Argentine properties
controlled by its wholly-owned subsidiary Energia Mineral Inc.
("Energia Mineral"). This program has been approved by the Joint
Technical Committee and is incorporated in the Option Agreement
signed on September 21, 2010, with Cameco Global Exploration Ltd.
("Cameco Global"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cameco Corporation
("Cameco").
The Energia Mineral exploration team has focused on the
development and follow-up exploration programs for the Central
Block and Campesino Norte projects, both located in Neuquen
Province and expected to be drilled during the upcoming summer
season in the southern hemisphere.
The Central Block project is an "in-situ" recovery (ISR) project
located along the Chihuido High range in the Neuquen oil & gas
producing basin. Following the anticipated approval of new mining
licenses recently claimed, the Central Block ISR project would
comprise more than 230,000 ha (or 2,300 km(2)) representing the
most significant ISR project under exploration in Argentina. The
program is focused on the development of a geological and
exploration model based on detailed basin analysis with the support
of historical oil and gas geological and geophysical data. Neuquen
Basin experts are assisting the team on the geophysical and
stratigraphic analysis, while the team continues the field
follow-up program collecting new geological, geochemical and
geophysical information. The goal of the program is to define the
first target for this ISR project that the Company expects to drill
this southern summer with a program of approximately 4,500 meters
by reverse circulation (RC). In October 2010, Energia Mineral
submitted the Environmental Impact Report required by law to
advance with the drill program and which is expected to be approved
during the course of this year.
The Campesino Norte follow-up program includes a ground
geophysical survey and a new RC drill program southwest of the
drill fences completed in 2008. The 4,135 meters in 135 short
reverse circulation holes drilled in 2008 defined a main
paleo-river channel in the Petrosaurius area at least 900 meters
wide and containing several sand-and-gravel bars which are
preferentially altered and mineralized. Mineralization was mainly
copper and vanadium. The highest uranium value obtained was in the
zone named Javier, more than 5 km southwards of the Petrosaurios
area, where hole CN-121 returned 2 meters, between 10 and 12
meters, grading 0.033% U3O8. This intercept was in sheet-flood
sandstone, and the main channel horizon was not drilled due to
drill rig limitations. The control for this zoning pattern is
currently unknown, but zonal arrangements between uranium,
vanadium, and copper are common in these environments. The new
target area is located 3 km southeast of the Javier zone and the
goal of the exploration program is to define the main paleo-river
channel depth using geophysical surveys, and testing with a 1,500
meter RC drill program later in the summer. An Update of the
Environmental Impact Report for the entire Campesino Norte project
was submitted in July and is expected to be approved in 2010.
The Company is also preparing an intensive field season for the
San Jorge Basin Exploration Program in Chubut Province. Energia
Mineral has been granted all the environmental permits to conduct
the prospecting and exploration program, which will be focused on
the properties granted by the Provincial Mining Authority. Energia
Mineral has claimed a total of eighteen areas for exploration
covering more than 150,000 ha (or 1,500 km(2)) of which six,
comprising more than 48,000 ha (or 480 sqkm), already have been
granted. More properties are expected to be granted in 2010.
In order to conduct the exploration programs, Energia Mineral
has increased the exploration team by two Senior Geologists, a
Junior Geologist and a Senior Field Technician. This will allow the
Company to accelerate the programs with professionals who will
maintain the high technical, environmental and social standards
adopted by Calypso. One of the Senior Geologists will be
responsible for the database and QAQC program in order to maintain
field and lab techniques according to international standards. The
program also includes the acquisition of bore hole geophysical
equipment that will be manipulated by the team's in-house expertise
comprising more than 19 years of uranium exploration
experience.
The Company continues to work closely with local, provincial and
federal authorities, as well as non-governmental organizations
(NGOs) and Provincial Mining Chambers in order to maintain a fluid
communication channel with the communities as part of our
transparency and sustainable development policy.

uranium projects in Argentina with the exception of the Huemul
property in the Province of Mendoza which is being retained by
Calypso. While maintaining its principal focus on the development
of the Argentine uranium projects, Calypso has a 50% interest and
is operator of the Sage Creek properties located in Converse
County, Wyoming. Calypso is well-funded to advance all exploration
projects and has the technical team and management structure for
this effort. Further information is available at the website,
