Tournigan Reports 94% Uranium Recovery from Kuriskova Test Work

Tournigan Energy Ltd. (TVC: TSX-V; TGP: Frankfurt) today reported high
recoveries of both uranium and molybdenum from metallurgical test work
conducted by Hazen Research, Golden, Colorado. The results indicate
uranium and molybdenum recoveries of 94% and 98%, respectively, and
confirm the use of alkaline leaching for the Kuriskova deposit resources.

The metallurgical test work was performed on a Zone 45 composite grading
0.404% U₃O₈ and 0.278% Mo. The test work was
recently completed at Hazen using the same alkaline-pressure oxidation
leaching parameters used for test work on the Kuriskova Main Zone
uranium mineralization. Zone 45 is the high grade zone of uranium
mineralization that was discovered and expanded during last year′s
drilling program at Kuriskova.

This test work is part of the ongoing Prefeasibility Study for the
Kuriskova uranium project in Slovakia. The metallurgical program at
Hazen will continue in 2011 as Tournigan progresses in defining the
process plant flow sheet for the Prefeasibility Study. Other aspects of
the Prefeasibility Study, including resource drilling, are currently
being planned and will recommence shortly.

Mr. Dennis Gertenbach, Senior Vice President at Hazen, is an Independent
Qualified Person under the standards of NI 43-101 and has reviewed and
approved the technical disclosure contained in this news release.
