The assays from the two holes at the Main Zone South of the deposit include an intersection of 0.7m at 0.335% equivalent uranium oxide in hole LE-K-65.
Also, hole LE-K-66 intersected 1.6m at 0.688% equivalent uranium oxide, including 0.2m at 2.264% equivalent uranium oxide and 0.7m at 0.783% equivalent uranium oxide.
The Kuriskova resource model is being re-estimated with the inclusion of 2010 and 2011 drilling results as part of the ongoing prefeasibility study being done by Tetra Tech.
On 14 January 2011, Tournigan began the current drilling program with the objective of upgrading and expanding the Kuriskova uranium resource.
Till date, three holes have been drilled at the Kuriskova deposit for a total of 1,450m as part of an initial 4,500m program.
Tournigan president and CEO Dorian Nicol said that the company is pleased with the higher grade results of these holes, in particular the high grade intercepts in holes LE-K-66 and LE-K-64.
