ESO Signs Option Agreement for Nevada Uranium and Precious Metals Property

Vancouver, Canada (ots/PRNewswire) - ESO Uranium Corp.
(TSX-V: ESO) (the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has
signed an option agreement to acquire 36 claims located in Mineral
County, Nevada, known as the Marietta Property, which covers a
uranium bearing granitic intrusive with shear hosted
uranium-copper-silver- molybdenum mineralization. The property is
optioned from Western Geoscience Inc. and Kleinebar Resources Inc.
in consideration for payment of up to US$450,000 and the issue of up
to 600,000 common shares in the capital of the Company, which are
due in stages over a period of four years. The agreement is subject
to the acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange.

The Marietta property was first mined for silver copper ores in
the late 1800's. Shear structures up to a few meters in width
carrying bornite and oxide copper were the principal source of ore
mined. After World War II it was discovered that these high grade
ores carried uranium values and were hosted in radioactive granitic
intrusive. The East flank of the intrusive terminates against
extensional faulting that dropped the adjacent shales and volcanic
rock down and much of this regional structure is obscured by
piedmont gravels and sands that lie on the west side of a small
salar basin.

A drill campaign, reportedly carried out by Westinghouse in the
70's, tested the regional structures. Several drill sites were
located during a site visit in 2007. Radioactivity exposed in a 1.5
meter wide shear in the wall of a short adit above the area of drill
sites was chip sampled across the full width of the shear. The shear
zone contained some oxide copper and no sulphide mineralization was
observed.

The values returned from the sample by a multi-element ICP
analysis by ALS Chemex returned 0.33% (6.6 lbs/st) uranium, greater
than 1% lead, 0.9% zinc and 0.34% molybdenum. Radioactivity of the
host granite was noted at moderately anomalous levels throughout a
500 meter traverse along a drill road cut into the granitic host
rocks.

The company has staked a further 80 mineral claims in the
vicinity of the Marietta property and plans to conduct an initial
programme of ground radiometric surveys on the property.

For reference, the current spot price quoted by uxc.com for
uranium oxide is US$78 per pound of U3O8; an assay reported as 1.0%
of U3O8 is equal to 20 pounds of uranium oxide per short ton - the
conversion of percent metal or metal oxide from percent to pounds
per short ton is done by multiplying the % value by 20.
