CALYPSO URANIUM CORP. (TSX VENTURE: CLP) ("Calypso" or the
"Company") - Calypso President Stephen Barley is pleased to
announce that Energia Mineral Inc. ("Energia Mineral"), Calypso's
wholly owned subsidiary in Argentina, has discovered surface
uranium mineralization at the San Jorge Basin Project, and that
preliminary assessments of geological information from the Neuquen
Basin drilling programs confirm the geological model developed by
the Company's original analysis.
Mr. Guillermo Pensado, President of Energia Mineral and VP
Exploration of Calypso commented: "This first year of exploration
under the strategic alliance with Cameco was extremely productive.
We advanced three projects, including the discovery of surface
uranium mineralization at one project. In the other two, we
launched drill programs which yielded preliminary results that
support the geological models predicted by prior exploration work
that included mapping, sampling, geophysical and geological
modelling. With Cameco's recent confirmation of support for the
second year under the joint venture agreement, we expect to have
another successful exploration year ahead."
LA FLECHA PROSPECT - SAN JORGE BASIN
Surface uranium mineralization has been discovered at the La
Flecha prospect in the San Jorge Basin Project as a result of the
first field season. The initial mapping and sampling at this
prospect identified an altered high energy fluvial system within
the Cerro Castano Member, included in the Cerro Barcino Formation,
with observable uranium-vanadium mineralization on the surface.
During the program, 39 soil gridding and selective samples were
collected covering an area of 1,000 by 1,500 meters. Soil gridding
samples were collected from the C horizon and showed assays up to
0.12% Uranium and 0.18% Vanadium (or 2.81lb U & 4.17lb V;
Sample # 11,732). Selective samples collected from limited outcrops
showed values up to 0.62% Uranium and 0.44% Vanadium (or 13.6lb U
& 9.7lb V; Sample #11,711). Other pathfinder anomalies were
also identified. Geochemistry reviews indicate the potential for a
Uranium-Vanadium sandstone deposit potentially being a different
model than the Uranium-Molybdenum model generally applied to this
uranium district. As a result of this discovery, Energia Mineral
has claimed a new exploration property in the area covering an
additional 10,000ha.
CAMPESINO NORTE PROJECT - NEUQUEN BASIN
The Campesino Norte Project follow-up exploration program of
1,500m reverse circulation (RC) drilling was launched on May 12th,
2011. To date, a total of 1040 meters comprising 7 holes up to 202
meters deep have been drilled. Fine to medium coarse altered
fluvial sandstones were intercepted with no remarkable anomalous
uranium mineralization detected by radiometric bore hole survey.
The presence of iron and manganese oxide mineralization provides
encouragement to re-assess the geological framework and adjust the
balance of the drilling program; that will add an additional 500
meters.
CENTRAL BLOCK PROJECT - NEUQUEN BASIN
A 4,800-meter RC drill program for the Central Block Project was
initiated on June 15th, 2011. The Central Block Project covers more
than 200,000ha and this program represents the first drilling
conducted in a potential in situ recovery (ISR) project in
Argentina. Sixteen holes up to 245 meters deep have been drilled to
date. The preliminary assessment of the geological information
generated confirms the geological model developed by the Company's
original analysis, the goal of the program. However, "in-house"
bore hole surveys have detected radiometric anomalies higher than 3
times the background in four holes that represent interesting
prospecting results which will assist in defining follow up
exploration programs.
COMPLETION OF YEAR ONE PROGRAM AND COMMENCEMENT OF YEAR TWO
PROGRAM
The balance of the Central Block 4,800 meter RC drill program is
expected to be completed by August 2011 and an additional 1,000
meters will be drilled to conclude the Campesino Norte Project
program. This will mark the conclusion of the first year
exploration efforts pursuant to the Joint Venture Option Agreement
with Cameco. The second year exploration program will consist of a
follow-up drill program in the Neuquen Basin, with a minimum of
3,000 meters and an intensive exploration program at the San Jorge
Basin Project that includes a 3,000 meter drill program. The
results from the balance of the first year may influence the
exploration efforts in year two leading to adjustments in the
planned program.
QAQC
The Company conducts QAQC protocols at every exploration phase.
Surface prospecting and exploration geochemical sampling includes
approximately 12% control samples, while every drill program
includes approximately 20% control samples. These include twin
samples, fine and coarse certified blanks, fine and coarse
duplicates and internal certified standards. All sample analyses
are performed by Alex Stewart Assayers, in Mendoza, Argentina, an
internationally recognized analytical services company with ISO
9,001 and ISO 14,001 international certifications.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
As part of the Company's sustainable development policy, Energia
Mineral is committed to working closely with local communities. For
the Neuquen Basin drill program, goods and services were provided
by local suppliers wherever possible and members of the community
were hired to work directly as part of the drilling team as well as
for support services for the exploration camp. Energia Mineral is
also engaged in discussions with local authorities on supporting
medium and long-term projects that directly contribute to the
community's ability to develop its productive capacity.
About Calypso
Calypso Uranium Corp. is a mineral exploration company whose
principal focus is the exploration and development of uranium
properties in Argentina and in the United States. Calypso is active
in Argentina with more than 500,000 hectares or 5,000km2 of claims
and mineral concessions in the provinces of Chubut, Mendoza and
Neuquen. In September 2010, Calypso signed an Option Agreement with
Cameco Global Exploration Ltd., to explore and develop Calypso's
uranium projects in Argentina with the exception of the Huemul
property in the Province of Mendoza which is being retained by
Calypso. Through the Argentine branch of its subsidiary Energia
Mineral Inc., the Company has an exploration office located in
Mendoza working closely with local communities and local,
provincial and national authorities while operating to the highest
national and international safety, environmental and ethical
standards. 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,
