U3O8 Corp. Completes Acquisition of Calypso Uranium Corp.

U3O8 Corp. (TSX:UWE)(OTCQX:UWEFF) and Calypso Uranium Corp. (TSX VENTURE:CLP)
("Calypso") are pleased to announce the completion of the acquisition of Calypso
by U3O8 Corp. (the "Acquisition"). The Acquisition expands U3O8 Corp's strategic
land position around the state-owned Cerro Solo and Sierra Pintada uranium
deposits in Argentina and adds approximately $3.3 million in working capital.


Under the terms of the Acquisition, U3O8 Corp. issued 20,252,327 common shares
in exchange for all of the 50,630,819 issued and outstanding common shares of
Calypso, on the basis of 0.40 of one U3O8 Corp. share for each whole Calypso
share (see March 11, 2013 press release) (the "Exchange Ratio"). Calypso stock
options will also become vested and continue in accordance with the terms of the
plan of arrangement, and will be exercisable into U3O8 Corp. common shares,
subject to adjustment in number and exercise price based on the Exchange Ratio.
If all such stock option are exercised, an additional 1,476,000 common shares of
U3O8 Corp. would be issuable.


For additional information on the transaction, please refer to Calypso's
information circular dated April 3, 2013 available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.


U3O8 Corp. has now solidified its position as a leading uranium company in
Argentina at a time when the country is seeking local uranium production to fuel
its growing nuclear fleet. U3O8 Corp. continues to progress on a preliminary
economic assessment ("PEA") expected in the second half of 2013 on its Laguna
Salada Deposit in Argentina towards positioning this project as a potential
low-cost, near-term uranium producer. With the Calypso properties, U3O8 Corp.
consolidates its strategic holdings adjoining Argentina's two largest known
uranium deposits, and sets up a strong pipeline of projects for exploration
after Laguna Salada. 


About U3O8 Corp. 

U3O8 Corp. is an advanced exploration company focused on exploration and
resource expansion of uranium and associated commodities in South America. From
2010 to 2012, U3O8 Corp's uranium resources grew 7-fold with three deposits
defined in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 ("NI 43-101") in Colombia,
Argentina and Guyana comprising of:




--  Berlin Deposit, Colombia - its flagship project, which a recent PEA
    shows Berlin could be a zero cash cost uranium producer thanks to
    revenue from by-products of phosphate, vanadium, nickel, rare earths
    (yttrium and neodymium) and other metals occurring in the same deposit; 
--  Laguna Salada Deposit, Argentina - a near surface, free-digging uranium,
    vanadium deposit that is potentially amenable to low-cost mining and
    processing methods; and 
--  Kurupung Deposit, Guyana - an initial uranium deposit in a large
    emerging uranium district.
