Metals (together the "Optionor") for exclusive options to acquire up to an 80% undivided interest in four mineral properties in Sweden, subject to a 3% NSR royalty (the "Options"). Uranium International has until April 25, 2009 to conduct its due diligence and then, if thought advisable by Uranium International, to proceed to enter into a more formal option agreement (the "Formal Option Agreement") with the Optionor. Until then, the Letter Option Agreement remains binding between the parties.

Uranium International Corp. enters the option agreement with the intent of exercising the Options and then entering into a joint venture agreement with the Optionor in order to jointly develop the properties currently held by option by T.A. Metals. The properties are characterized by T.A. Metals and third-party data as containing significant uranium mineralization. Any such mineralization has not yet been classified under National Instrument 43-101 guidelines.

According to the terms of the Letter Option Agreement, Uranium International will acquire a lease option in the Bjorklund Property, the Labbas Property, the Marrviken Property and the Staverberget Property (collectively called the "Properties") located in the Kingdom of Sweden, including all rights, licenses, and permits.

    (a)    pay the Optionor $75,000 within the first year, of which $25,000

           International within two years; and

    (c)    incur exploration expense of $700,000 within two years.

Following the exercise of the first option, in order for Uranium International to exercise the second option for an additional 29% (for a total of a 80% interest), it must incur a further $3,000,000 of exploration expense within seven years of the signing of the Formal Option Agreement.
