Tournigan intersects higher-than-expected uranium grades at Kuriskova

Tournigan Energy (CVE:TVC) announced Tuesday the consequences from a geotechnical drill hole on its Kuriskova deposit in Slovakia, returning a lot higher grades of uranium than expected.Hole LE-K-70-G was drilled in the central element of Tournigan's Kuriskova uranium property the radiometric logging returned an capture of three metres grading 0.239% uranium, including 0.6 metres at 0.76% uranium.

Additionally, the hole intersected 1.2 metres grading 1.168% uranium, as well as 0.6 metres at 2.038% uranium the hole be drilled to a depth of approximately 390 metres, in a zone with a modeled grade of 0.056% uranium, Tournigan said, creation the high-grade results surprising, and a significant improvement more than the expected grade in this part of the deposit.

In April, Tetra Tech, the company that Tournigan hired to achieve the ongoing prefeasibility study at Kuriskova, completed a resource estimate that built-in 2.3 million tonnes, grading 0.555% uranuim, for 28.5 million pounds of contained uranium in the indicated group in the inferred category, there be an estimated 3.1 million tonnes grading 0.185% uranium, for a total of 12.7 million pounds.
