Initial Metallurgical Testing at Tournigan's Kuriskova Project
Indicates 90% Uranium Recovery
=======================================================================
Vancouver, November 3, 2009---Tournigan Energy Ltd. (TVC: TSX-V; TGP:
Frankfurt) has completed its initial phase of metallurgical testing for
the Kuriskova uranium project in eastern Slovakia. The test program was
conducted on drill core samples representative of the mineralization
and was performed at the Resource Development, Inc. (RDI) laboratory
facilities in Wheatridge, Colorado.
The test results indicate that over 90 percent of the uranium and
molybdenum can be recovered by pressure oxidation using a whole ore
leach process in an alkaline (carbonate) media at a grind size of P80
150 mesh. This process represents a conventional technology used in the
US and other countries for the treatment of uranium ores. The
predominant uranium minerals are uraninite and coffinite. Additional
test work is planned during the ongoing prefeasibility study to
optimize the process parameters.
Dr. Deepak Malhotra, Ph. D, president and principal of Resource
Development, Inc., is an Independent Qualified Person under the
