Title:     European Uranium Files Technical Report For Kuriskova Preliminary Feasibility Study

Vancouver, March 13, 2012 - European Uranium Resources Ltd. (EUU: TSX-V; TGPN: Frankfurt) (the "Company") has today filed a National Instrument 43-101 compliant technical report regarding the Preliminary Feasibility Study ("PFS") for the Kuriskova Project, Eastern Slovakia as announced by press release on January 30, 2012. The technical report was completed by Tetra Tech, Inc. of Golden, Colorado.

The report titled "NI 43-101 Technical Report, Kuriskova Uranium Project" is dated effective March 13, 2012.

The highlights of the results of the PFS as announced on January 30, 2012 are:

  • Internal Rate of Return 30.8%; 1.9 year payback; $276 million Net Present Value (NPV) at an 8% discount rate (Pre-Tax, base case US$68/lb U3O8, US$15/lb Mo);
  • 94% increase of Indicated Resource to 28.5 million pounds of U3O8 since the Company's June 2009 Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA");
  • 92% uranium recovery in PFS, increased from 90% in the PEA;
  • 62% increase in the uranium grade to the process plant to 0.408% U3O8 in the PFS from 0.252% U3O8 in PEA;
  • 26% lower life of mine operating costs in the PFS compared to the PEA. The PFS estimates US$22.98/lb U3O8 life of mine operating costs and US$16.68/lb U3O8 during the first 4 years of production. These are net of a molybdenum credit of about US$1.27 per pound of U3O8;
  • 1.5 year decrease of pre-production construction period in PFS to 3 years compared to 4.5 years in the PEA;
  • The project can be developed as an underground mine/processing facility with a very small surface footprint;
  • Kuriskova would utilize Best Available Technologies in the mining and processing operations. The uranium can be extracted using conventional alkaline (non-acid) processing; and
  • There are multiple exploration targets within the Kuriskova License area, with the potential to expand the resource base and extend project life.

The results demonstrate that the Kuriskova Project has the potential to be among the lowest cost uranium producers in the world. The PFS not only illustrates the robust economics of the Kuriskova Project but also the competitive advantages it has over other uranium projects as a result of its high-grade resources, relatively low installation and operating cost estimates as well as its central European location.

The next step is, working with our strategic partner AREVA, to begin a Feasibility Study and Environmental Assessment Study that will continue to define project parameters to a higher degree of confidence and allow the permitting of the project to begin.
