VANCOUVER, June 3, 2012 - Calypso Uranium Corp. (TSX VENTURE:CLP) ("Calypso" or the "Company") - Calypso announced the Company has been provided with notice by Cameco Global Exploration Ltd. ("Cameco") that Cameco will not be exercising its right to proceed with the third year of the Option Agreement among Cameco, Calypso, and Calypso's wholly owned subsidiary Energia Mineral Inc. ("Energia Mineral").
Calypso has been advised the decision is in no way a reflection on Calypso, Energia Mineral, the Company's personnel or projects but is fundamentally a strategic shift in the regions and projects where Cameco will focus their exploration efforts. Cameco will retain no interest in Energia Mineral or its properties.
Stephen Barley, President and CEO of Calypso, commented: "We have accomplished a great deal in advancing our knowledge of our properties in the past two years of joint exploration with Cameco. We will now assess the most optimal approach for continuing our efforts on our large and highly prospective package of uranium projects in Argentina. Calypso is evaluating new opportunities in the uranium and other resource sectors in multiple countries including Argentina in order to provide further diversity for our shareholders. The Company is well funded with over $4 million in working capital."
