ESO and Fission Energy Sign Strategic Joint Venture Agreement in Patterson Lake Area, South Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan

Vancouver, Canada (ots/PRNewswire) - ESO Uranium Corporation
(TSX-V: ESO), the Company, and Fission Energy Corporation (TSX-V:
FIS) (Fission) are pleased to announce that the companies have signed
a joint venture agreement to include claims staked in late 2007 by
the companies on the southern extension of their Hook Lake and
Patterson Lake claims. The joint venture is a 50%-50% participation
by the companies and includes 4 claims (approximately 4770 hectares)
on the southern margin of the Athabasca Basin in the Broach Lake -
Patterson Lake area. The area is accessible by road and close to
several established bush camps.

A Megatem airborne magnetic and deep penetrating electromagnetic
survey of 167 line km was completed over the claims by Fugro
Airborne Surveys in December, 2007 to cover southerly extensions of
electromagnetic conductors identified by earlier work in basement
rocks underlying the Athabasca sedimentary basin to the north. The
identified conductors are shown in a Saskatchewan Geological Survey
compilation to extend SSW onto the Joint Venture property in a band
of conductors referred to as the Carter Corridor. The Carter
Corridor has been under active exploration by the Purepoint Uranium
Group working on the contiguous Hook Lake project which is under
option from Cameco and Areva.

The results of the recent Megatem survey are being processed and
will form a basis for developing ground targets for further work by
the Joint Venture in 2008. Target depths for uranium mineralization
are expected to be shallow (less than 300 meters depth) in this area
which has some overlapping cover of sediments of the Prairie
sedimentary basin.

For reference, the current spot price quoted by uxc.com for
uranium oxide is US$89.50 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.

On behalf of the Board of Directors of ESO Uranium Corp.
