European Uranium Files Technical Report for the Unkur Copper-Silver Project, Russia

White Rock, British Columbia (FSCwire) - EUROPEAN URANIUM RESOURCES LTD. ("EUU" or the “Company”) (TSX-V:EUU) has filed a technical report regarding the Unkur copper-silver project, Russia (“Unkur Report”) to support the indirect acquisition of the initial 60% of the Unkur project as announced on March 1, 2016. The Unkur Report was authored by Robin Simpson, MAIG, of SRK Consulting (Russia) Ltd. (“SRK”) an independent Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101.

The highlights of the Unkur Report include:

• The Unkur Project is interpreted as a sediment-hosted stratiform copper deposit type.  The copper-bearing horizon has been traced, from historic drill holes, trenches and outcrop, for a length of about 5 kilometers northwest-southeast in the southwest limb of the Unkur Syncline. No material exploration works have yet been conducted by, or on behalf of the Company.

• Eight historical diamond drill holes returned copper samples with grades greater than 0.6% Cu (the grade historically used for defining substantial mineralization). The mean length of these intersections is 13 m and the mean grade is 0.78%. The deepest intersection is 250m down hole. Within the zone of copper mineralization, silver grades were estimated by sampling composites of the copper samples. Average silver grade of these composites was 68.3 g/t. The reliability of these historical results is in doubt though, because of significant core recovery problems: recovery in the mineralized intervals was 65% on average, and as low as 31%. In addition to the poor recoveries, the overall quantity and quality of historical data are insufficient to be the basis for preparing a mineral resource estimation

• Despite the risks and uncertainties arising from data quality, SRK considers that the Unkur Project has a high exploration potential. Continuity of the mineralized horizon has been established over a strike length of at least 5 km, and the extent of this horizon has not yet been closed off, either along strike or down dip. Information from geophysics, and sparse outcrop exposures, implies that the same copper-bearing horizon is also present, several kilometres away, on the northeast limb of the Unkur Syncline.

• Metallurgical testing results of a single 350kg sample of the oxide copper-bearing ore of the Unkur deposit taken in December 24, 2014 indicate that copper and silver can be recovered.  Preliminary tests indicate recoveries up to 96% of both copper and silver.

• In the opinion of SRK, the potential of the Unkur Project is sufficient to justify additional exploration, which will also satisfy the minimum exploration expenditure requirements. SRK has proposed a work program to delineate the copper and silver mineralization, estimate mineral resources and prepare an initial mineral resource statement and preliminary economic assessment to meet NI 43-101 disclosure guidelines.

• The overall work program can be divided into phases. The initial phase should comprise 6 to 8 “top priority” holes for approximately 2,800m of drilling, with the objectives of confirming results obtained from historical drilling and of providing geologic information to be used in planning the subsequent phases. The estimated budget for this first phase is approximately C$479,000.

The Unkur Report titled “Technical Report for the Unkur Copper-Silver Deposit, Kodar-Udokan Area, Russian Federation” is dated effective March 1, 2016, is filed on the Company’s profile on www.sedar.com.

The pending acquisition of the Unkur project is part of a reorganization and restructuring of the Company as described in the March 1, 2016 news release, and all remains subject to Exchange approval of all elements of these transactions on terms acceptable to the parties and the closing of all the transactions is each conditional on the closing of the other.
