European Uranium Update
![European Uranium Update](https://www.minenportal.de/media/goldseiten-news.jpg)
European Uranium Resources Ltd. (EUU: TSX-V; (EUUNF:OTCQX; TGPN:
Frankfurt) provides an update on the progress of work on its 100% held
Kuriskova uranium deposit in Slovakia and its 100% held Asento
exploration project in Finland.
The Company plans to complete a feasibility study on the Kuriskova
project by the end of 2014 or possibly first quarter 2015. Before
awarding the contract to conduct the study the Company has been
continuing critical path work that will be needed to stay on this time
line. In the first half of 2013 this work has comprised metallurgical
test work and environmental and social programs including baseline data
collection.
A drilling program for obtaining composite samples for metallurgical
test work was completed in 2012 and composite samples from that program
have been shipped for testing to AREVA′s laboratory facility at
Bessines, France. The test work began in January 2013 as part of the
Company′s pre-paid technical services agreement with AREVA. Testing is
ongoing and all the results will be available for inclusion in the
feasibility study. The Company′s environmental and social programs in
Slovakia have an expanded focus on regional and local stakeholder
engagement to continue to build support for the project and facilitate
the permitting process.
The results of the NI 43-101 preliminary feasibility study completed in
early 2012 demonstrate that the company′s Kuriskova project would be
among the highest-grade and lowest cost uranium producers in the world.
The study 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 resource and expected low
operating costs. The study also indicates that Kuriskova could be built
and operated using Best Available Technology with minimal surface
footprint and environmental impact.
In early 2012, the Company acquired a portfolio of exploration licenses
and applications for uranium projects in Finland and Sweden. In March
2013, the Company was awarded a three-year exploration license for the
Asento ('10,000 Boulders?) project in north-central Finland covering
3,556.6 hectares. This is a new discovery where a large number of
mineralized boulders have been identified and the project area is
considered prospective for vein-style hydrothermal uranium deposits
within Archean granites. Now that the exploration license has been
granted the Company will begin planning a summer exploration program for
this project.
