European Uranium Resources Ltd. (EUU: TSX-V; TGP: Frankfurt) (formerly Tournigan Energy Ltd.) began trading as EUU on March 1, 2012. The company is well placed to become the key uranium exploration and development company in Europe. Europe is the world's largest per capita consumer of uranium with 160 operating reactors and more under construction or planned but with only one currently operating uranium mine, located in the Czech Republic.
Tournigan intersects higher-than-expected uranium grades at Kuriskova
Tournigan Energy (CVE:TVC) announced Tuesday the results from a geotechnical drill hole on its Kuriskova deposit in Slovakia, returning much higher grades of uranium than expected.
Hole LE-K-70-G was drilled in the central part of Tournigan's Kuriskova uranium property. The radiometric logging returned an intercept of three metres grading 0.239% uranium, including 0.6 metres at 0.76% uranium.
Additionally, the hole intersected 1.2 metres grading 1.168% uranium, including 0.6 metres at 2.038% uranium.
The hole was drilled to a depth of approximately 390 metres, in a zone with a modeled grade of 0.056% uranium, Tournigan said, making the high-grade results surprising, and a significant improvement over the expected grade in this part of the deposit.
In April, Tetra Tech, the company that Tournigan hired to perform the ongoing prefeasibility study at Kuriskova, completed a resource estimate that included 2.3 million tonnes, grading 0.555% uranuim, for 28.5 million pounds of contained uranium in the indicated category.
In the inferred category, there is an estimated 3.1 million tonnes grading 0.185% uranium, for a total of 12.7 million pounds.
The Kuriskova property consists of 32 square kilometres of mineral claims situated in a forest roughly 13 kilometres northwest of the city of Kosice, a regional industrial centre in East-Central Slovakia. The prefeasibility study is expected to wrap-up in December this year.
Tournigan's stock on the TSX-Venture Exchange rose 5.26% as of 1:01 pm EDT, trading at $0.10 per share.
