Novoveska Huta

Novoveska Huta Uranium Deposit - Slovak Republic - 100% interest in licenses

At the western end of the Carpathian uranium belt, approximately 65 kilometres west of Kuriskova, is the Novoveska Huta deposit. The deposit was a historical uranium producer with an open pit and underground workings. A historic resource, from drilling completed between 1975 and 1985 reported the following:

In June 2008, Tournigan reported drill results from 12 diamond drill holes totaling 5,540 metres on the deposit. The holes, drilled to depths of between 200 to 657 metres, were designed to twin historical holes as well as explore the deposit to the east and provide structural analysis of the deposit.

By year-end 2008, Tournigan expects to complete a resource estimate based on Canadian standards (CIM, NI 43-101). The resource will include the above results and an additional 1,200 metres of confirmatory and step-out drilling expected to be completed by mid-August 2008.

History

Tournigan acquired Novoveska Huta, consisting of 13 km² in a single exploration licence, in 2005. The property, once a producing mine with open pit and underground operations, was shut down in the early 1990's due to low uranium prices and the collapse of the former socialist economy. The previous owner completed underground development exceeding 5,500 metres on 5 vertical levels connected to an existing 600-metre deep shaft.

Geology

Uranium mineralization at Novoveska Huta is similar in style and character to that of Kuriskova, occurring along the contact of meta-volcanic rocks and underlying meta-sedimentary rocks. The mineralized horizon varies from 100-200 metres deep at the west, to 450-600 metres deep at the east.

(1) The Company has reviewed the above historical resource estimates and views them relevant. The historic exploitation of Slovak deposits in general and metallurgical test records acquired with the Company's deposits in particular suggests the reliability of the historical resource estimates. The Slovak category P & Z-3 is roughly analogous to the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum's definitions for Indicated and Inferred Resources, respectively. However, the Company has not done the work necessary to verify the classification of the resources and the resources are not classified according to CIM's Standards on Mineral Resources and Reserves Definitions. Investors are cautioned not to rely upon these estimates.

(2) Uranium metal (U) grades were converted to uranium oxide (U3O8) grades using a factor of 1.17924.
